Brandon Wakeham is having a quality game here.

Wish we could get a bloke with the same work ethic as England Women's Holly Dodd.

I’m also surprised. There are one or two I would really like trinity to sign.

Khalil Rahme - big prop/loose is the pick of the bunch for me. Has strength, size and and seems to be a strong defender. He would fill our interchange 13 spot or equally prop and he’s fairly young in prop terms. His highlights show him playing both prop and 13 regularly.

McKenzie Yei - very direct runner of the ball. Would probably be a good option for an impact bench prop. Again only around mid 20s.

Be happy with either of these.

These are the two I would likely look at. I did like the look of Kalache also for Lebanon.

The rumour about Patrick Mago leaving Wigan seems to be still talked about on Wigan forum too.

While I have faith in the club Im getting a bit impatient myself for some signings now. We desperately need props, a centre, loose and halfback/fullback cover.

Not that simple. I know I keep saying this.

Some for a start will not get a work permit. Some may have full time jobs that they can't leave at short notice. Then of course from our end we have to get medicals, insurances, sort out a legally binding contract, and of course agree terms.

All takes time. I can see some overseas players not actually being announced until the new year.

As for Mago, it could be a case of Wigan waiting for their plans to fall into place, see the above.

Regards the work permit I’m sure I read that any World Cup international players can obtain a work permit. Not sure on the reliability of that though.

I don’t doubt the club will be going through a process and I do understand but as a fan it’s a little frustrating that we are the team who has the most recruitment left to do and pre season training is presently underway.

I do understand that we were behind the 8 ball again due to not securing our status till the final weeks of the season but my impatience is starting to get the better of me now.

Its a good job that the people behind the club have that patience us fans don’t especially if it means we get some good quality and the right players in.

One, I wouldn't bank on permits for some of the names you mention.

Most SL clubs will have started training without some players. Some are yet to arrive, some are still in the WC, and those who were will now be taking their holidays, ie Hood as an example. Obviously we are less bothered by that than almost any other SL club,
