Replacements for Feka and Bailey I presume.

Don't you struggle. Don't you fight. Don't you worry, cause it's your turn tonight!

| Good news both great players at the right age who've Maguire has previously worked with and will know all about.
Yes the Hoffman signing seems a little strange but if Maguire feels we need him then so be it. Plus we've still to add Hock to the pack next year as well.

| Combined with Finch, three excellent signings although I am quite surprised by this news - I had heard Luke Bailey was to play for Wigan next year. Doesn't seem likely he'll be coming in as well.
Watch some uneducated RL fans start accusing Wigan of relying on overseas imports again despite our great work with the youth system. Should also be remembered that Bailey, Feka, Riddell and Phelps are all gone with Carmont and possibly Richards to go the year after.

That will be frightening pack next year if these signings are confirmed.

I get the feeling one of two of the young lads may be leaving as well, I would let Tuson go, he's decent enough but he's not the youngest anymore and I doubt he's ever going to become first choice. I seriously hope we resign hansen though.

| Both great players for different reasons. Hoffman is hard as nails, great business by the Wigan club to get these 2 over.

Well if Mossop moves into the front row then we will may be a man down in the back row.
These are two massive signings at the top of there game IMO and if we have to shuffle a couple of lads around to sign them so be it.
This has made my day.
Take a bow IL and MM

Aside from the fact he's an Aussie test player, Hoffman does give us one vital thing that our current 2nd rowers don't show too much and that's offloading and ball playing skills.
Tuson should leave to gain a regular starting spot at another SL club and further his career whilst Mossop and Hock are options to move to the front row.

| Likewise, as thrilled as I am to see us signing people like this, I wouldn't have gone for a Second Row as I genuinely don't think we need one.
Any idea when the club will announce it?

| If Mossop moves to prop, then id assume Coley or Fielden is off as well, giving us Fielden/Coley, Lima, Prescott, O'Carroll, Mossop & Hock.
It does add size, power and class to the pack though.
All we need now is Finch and you can box recruitment off for me.
Maddogg - I cant see us releasing Pat next year, unless he wanted to go home with his newborn!

I agree, tbh, if we had confirmed Finch to, I wouldnt care, im just a little jittery until a halfback is sorted.
I dont see Tuson leaving, Madge seems to like the kid, perhaps a season long loan maybe his best option though.

Possible NFL move - $$$$$$$$$
I wouldn't suggest for one minute that Wigan would happily let Richards leave.
