Quote: Capital Punishment "Who is leaving Wigan to get these players under your cap
No one!! We are going for a Melbourne style break so we can dominate! We are also going to try and play 15 players on the pitch at any one time! Keep it quiet tho otherwise other clubs will start to moan!

No spare quota spot there is there? Thought the quota reduced by one next year so we'd have to let an extra one go compared to those coming in.

Phenomenal piece of business. Brilliantly done by the club.

Tommy will now have to step up and show he deserves that World Cup Ring as a hooker - something that may well bring the best out in him.

All 3 are quality signings and give us lots of substantial options. We have real talent coming through, but they are just that [icoming through[/i and not the finished product!

Look how good Goulding has developed into - in fairness not the same player who was left out of the team and loaned out previously - he was good, but now with time he's slotting right in at the right level.

It's all positive for everybody at the club and I can't wait to see them in the cherry and whites - once we've won this season of course! icon_biggrin.gif

Well done IL and MM! eusa_clap.gif eusa_clap.gif eusa_clap.gif

Quote: Rogues Gallery "The Hoffman one year with a one year option is interesting in that it will let us have a look at how Gareth Hock is performing before making decisions on either player.'"



I just wonder whose favour the second year option is in. My gut feeling is that he will have the say on if he takes up the second year not us. I do not think a player like Hoffman who is in his prime has much to prove to justify a longer than 1 season deal. I expect we would have liked to sign him for longer, but he probably wants to see how he settles in to living in the UK and SL and if he enjoys it, rather than the club running the rule over him and making a call on his future.

Great bit of business anyway, from a sentimental point will be tough to see Feka go but clearly his face does not fit and he has not come up to the coaches demands.

Looking forward to the rest of this year, but if I am honest I think it may be a year early for us to win the title, but with these 3 in place and another year under the belt of MM I think next year could be the start or our ability to lift the silverware again.

Extra quotes from Lenagan -

Quote: Ryan has only ever played at Melbourne, "In giving Hoffman only a one-year contract, Wigan have left the door open for England second rower Gareth Hock, who has currently served 13 months of a two-year drugs ban.

"Ryan has only ever played at Melbourne," Wigan chairman Ian Lenagan told a press conference at the DW Stadium on Monday.

"And, although he's delighted to be coming overseas, he's not certain as to whether he wants to make that semi-permanent,"

"We recognise that and we also have the position where Gareth Hock may or may not be available within that same time scale and it seems a sensitive expedient.

"We'd be delighted if Gareth decided to come back to Wigan. We will have discussions at the right time with him."

Lenagan also confirmed that, with one vacancy still left on their overseas quota for 2011, Monday's swoop may not be the end of Wigan's team building programme.
'"


I'd be stunned if we brought anyone else in after signing these three.

As for Gareth Hock, personally I'd be disappointed if he opted to sign for another club - I'd hope he might feel he owes the club a little for their support.

Motto of the week - It is the way of the weak to secretly bleat to those in authority rather than fight their own battles.:27608.jpg



You're gonna have a pretty formidable pack next season, especially when you add Louis McCarthy Scarsbrook into the equation. Can see anyone getting within coohey of you.
