When that was a rumour there was some substance in it.

Why anyone thinks, we can all of a sudden start going round splashing the cash and rebuilding the squad (pulling apart others') is beyond me.

Its a signings thread so I guess its fine for people to sign who would love to sign even if it does sound out of this world.

Dobson would maybe come here later in his career but he is doing a great job at Hull KR.

Brough will stay at wakey for the rest of his career unless Bradford get him at the end of his contract.

We do make approaches to clubs and players lots never get out some do and some actually come off like the Gleeson one think you will find most teams do as they are always trying to strengthen there squads.

Not quite as muchas you seem to think. The players that have been singled out, have been for a reason: they are quality players, important to their respective clubs.

As was Martin Gleeson, but if you listen to the Chairman and analyse the situation the circumstances surrounding the Wolves conspired such that he was available. And its that which makes him different from all the others that are now being touted around, not the money on the table.

This was a rumour thread. The title's just changed slightly.

The Gleeson rumour was strong because it was more than just an approach.

'"

joking and banter aside

1.He never wanted to be here
2.He's a good player but you'll never get 100% out of a guy who doesn't want to be here
3. It was a good bit of business getting a decent amount of money for someone we were prepared to let go for nothing.
4. Richie only played well under TS so there is some potential + we need a fullback if the Reardon being released rumours are true.
5. All in all it suits everyone, you lot are taking the mick out of us because you think you got a better deal and vice versa. what that says to me is it doesn't matter because everyone's happy, especially Mathers and Gleeson.

I seen that on Riddells facebook, "I wonder were my mate finchy will end up" which has now gone.

Exactly, so there's no substance it's mere fantasy.

And whether Dobson moves for the money or not, it doesn't come into the equation unless he is available.

Martin Gleeson was available due to circumstances, not because we offered them a deal to satisfy both parties.

Hull KR have a player who is extremely important to them, fits into their game and structure well. At this stage of the season and his contract, the club have no reason nor interest to let Wigan near him, unless we stumped up a figure that would be ludicrous.

If you dont like this thread dont come on it and stop your moaning

I make for interesting discussion about which players we need etc.

I dont think Dobson is an unrealistic target tbh.

i heard the Iro brothers are coming out of retirement to turn Wigan around
