Must be nailed on to sign for Hull then?

In his last few games at Catalan, Bird was the best player in SL. Current State of Origin player though so I don't fancy our chances.

Bird cant get an english work visa

He's a fantastic player. Would love him at Wigan. Just looking at who's available, realistically it would be a surprise if we got him, for visa reasons if nothing else.

Manu from Storm?

Weren't we meant to be forming some sort of link with the storm?
I remember it being put on hold after storms salary cap issues.

Theres some good players off contract at Manly by the looks of things.

I wouldn't mind Williams on the wing to play outside Charnley(giving him the 3 shirt).

Also if we're looking for a replacment for Deacon Tim Smiths available!!!!

Wigan were after Paul Wood at one point so I think we are looking at signing a prop forward for next year.

Ryan O'Hara, Ryan Bailey and Ray Cashmere are the best props available at the moment in Super League.

Dane Carlaw, Shane Tronc, Josh Miller, Chris Armit, Mickey Paea, Tinirau Arona, David Gower, Manase Manuokafoa,Troy Thompson, Adam Woolnough, Matt Cross, Jason King and Brent Kite are all props available in the NRL.

Thought that was just while his court case was pending?

I'm guessing thats where the link with Lauaki is coming from as we can't be seriously looking for another second rower but hopefully that move won't come off.

As much as Bailey is a class A tool it would be funny having him and Sam Tomkins here at the same time winding the opposition players and fans up. They'd blow a fuse

Not really. Good props win you pots. What's our quota situation for next season? Will it be just be Finch, Lima and Roberts, assuming Amos Roberts stays of course?

Jason king is a very good prop but I'd be shocked if Manley let there captain go. Kite is also a pretty good prop that wound go well in super league.

I can't see bird coming back, even if he could get a visa.

with Harris as his assistant

Johnny Lomax, ripped us bits and future GB 7
