When he resigned he said he had nothing lined up and was open to offers so bang goes that theory

Must be the first time you've believed anything that's come out of Shaun Wane's mouth.

Isn’t it strange that the first time you believe something Wane has said, suits your agenda.

Lockers is like a tampax 1 week in and 3 weeks out hes been a good servant to Wigan his body is shattered its time to call it a day no matter how good he is .In my post I was trying to highlight with the players leaving and new coach coming in its time to have a complete rebuild at Wigan. But with the extended contracts of Powell and Isa and Tauti average players at the best its going to be a tough job.

Are you for real? SOL is still an outstanding player with plenty to offer. Admittedly his age contributes to the number of injuries he gets but he is more than worthy of his place.

TL overall is playing well at hooker and again well worthy of his place.

As for the others to a certain extent I’d agree we have a number of average players however the salary cap dictates that we and every other club have to. Powell and Isa imo are worthy of their places in the squad, both I’d expect to be on very average salary’s. I’ll give you Tautai though, I think we could do better.

SOL is still a quality player but he will miss games at his age. We should have his successor at the club already and be blooding him, but with Bateman going that may be unlikely.

I can see where you’re coming from, to an extent regarding injuries. However to say Lockers is like Tampax is absurd, where’s your proof to back that up? In comparison to any other Wigan players injuries how many more games has he missed last season and this season? I don’t think you’ll find much difference between him and other players in the squad personally.

I think he’s got at least 1 maybe 2 more seasons in him. And I’m bloody glad to; when he’s on his game, which is more often than not, he’s easily one of, if not the best player in a Wigan jersey.

Lenagan says in the Wigan Observer that he does not need to recoup any more players as he is happy with what he as got ?????????????????????????????????????????????

To say you are looking for players is folly.. Just puts price up..

If you ever want to play poker, give me a shout..

Surely that’s not his decision? That’s the mysterious Head Coaches decision!

Once we have a decent coach, I expect an extra 20% from every player, just like when MM came in and turned Noble's bang average coaching around, we should expect the same when the new coach comes in and turns Wanes bang average coaching around.

We will sign more players no doubt, but the biggest signing for years will be a new coach.

Which is kind of in line with what a few people on here seem to have heard about why Wane ultimately decided to leave.

That means so far we have,

OUT: Sam Tomkins, Joel Tomkins, Ryan Sutton, probably John Bateman.
In: Hardaker, Greenwood.

The two new players coming in are of good quality, but not sure they offset the losses completely.

Love Rugby League reporting Fijian front rower Eloni Vunakece is available after coming off contract with Sydney Roosters, anyone with any better NRL knowledge than me know anything about him?

Could bolster our pack if he’s good enough.

remember him from the last but one world cup, he was playing for Toulouse in club rugby, looked very good then

Eloni Vunakece is currently not playing Rugby League and will not be signing for Wigan. Still an avid supporter of the Roosters though!
