Think we needed this as much as Tuson. Clearly what we offered him will probably allow us to sign 2 or maybe 3 players to bulk up the squad

Shame it's got to this but think it makes sense for all involved. Now we've saved some cash get on the phone to those young ones OOC!

Exactly. We'd have looked like mugs making him sign and then not having enough money to pay more than 17 players

If we can't sell the vision to a squad player at Wigan what standard of player can we look to recruit especially if you hope the money we were to pay him would allow us to sign 2 or 3 player. I presume these players must also lack ambition or why sign for us. I will note with interest if we do sign any players if their contracts exceed 12 months.

He's not coming.

Aren't most contracts 'Super League' ones that expire if the team gets relegated anyway or did I dream that?

In light of the current situation what standard of player do you think we are likely to attract exactly?

Confirmed by Hull. Not a shock but still very disappointing.

Well thats a big suprise that is.

Its a good job we kept hold of Mariano, i realise Tusons a far better player and its for the best

Let's see if this comes to fruition.
Did Agar go to Oz looking for players as he was pretty sure that Tuson wasn't coming and knew what he could spend?

OK hes gone,but i hope Anakin & Trout are the future.

Wonder if a Hull FC will let Paul Johnson go now? He'd be worth re-signing for Wakey now we've saved the Tuson money.

Carter told the Express last week that if Tuson decided not to move to Wakefield the money would be invested into another player signing.

I never rated Johnson especially when a prop, lightweight and too small.
