Have Wigan got £350K in the kitty? Or is coming straight out of Lenegan's back pocket? Either way it's a huge amount of money to pay for a player who has so much still to prove. Give them £150K for Daryl Clark and I'll be happy.

Tweeted off the Wigan observer reporter :

@PhilWilkWIG Wane has ruled out switching Tomkins to No.6 when Finch leaves. Plus: Sam expects boos from England fans again - see this week's Observer

Not sure I follow your argument. By definition, any player on debut is inexperienced, so that's an argument against ever bringing anyone in from the Academy.

We've still got the reported £250K from Joels move to Saracens.

Why would we pay 350k when we've got so much excess talent on our books. That we could use as collateral or make weights?

Maybe its time to look through the squad and think who realistically will make it at Wigan.

We all know the time is coming very soon when players will have to move on from Wigan in order for them to get more first team football.

Its the nature of the beast for a successful team working under a salary cap.

Why keep a player till his contract runs out then just let him leave on a free?

Might as well make something back on the investment we've put in right.

I'd personally try it with one of our 2nd rows.

Rejected something similar from Warrington already.

Still think Matty Smith is a good option - Rangi Chase would never be a good player for Wigan - he plays to his own agenda - watch him he is selfish, runs laterally and overcooks the play - his own teammates haven't got a clue what he is doing hence why Cas are sitting at the lower end of the table - oh and Millward doesn't help - sorry Basil but Cas's tactics are poor !!! If Finch does go to Storm maybe Widdop would consider Wigan - who would turn down the opportunity to play for 'simply the best' - if you can't have the best in Oz why not the best here ..............!

Because the rest of the team aren't good enough to do anything...and if he's selfish why does he lead the league in assists....by some margin?



His team mates aren't good enough to know what he's doing, stick him in the Wigan team and in half a season you'll be calling him the best player in the world (alongside Tomkins 14.02587890625:10
