someone on the wigan board said tautai wont be offered a new deal or turned a deal down for next season

could be a load of old cobblers too if it was posted by mariorugby! (will have to check)

Think the kid from Halifax fits the bill. Plus I think Ellis will stay and be used off the bench as a prop interchange

Would he be an expensive luxury?

I think this could be Gareth's last year . Unless he's been playing with a knock most this season , especially the last 3/4 games , to me he's starting to look his age now . I hope he proves me wrong and can get back to last seasons form but he's not having the same effect on games like he was .

I honestly can't decide if Tautai is excellent or terrible!

me neither but twice the player he was at wakefield, started first season at wigan awful but seems to have got better

I'm the same , I'm not sure if it's his hair that flys all over when running that makes him look a powerful strong runner or that he just gets no where and flatters to deceive . Either way he doesn't seem consistent enough for me !

Heard there's nothing in the Tangata rumour and apparently it's likely Ellis will hang up his boots and is looking at a two year coaching gig with us.

He seemed to cut back on the dirt and thuggery towards the end of last season and has become as much better player for it. Unless there are reasons we don't know about, which may be as simple as cost, then I'd be surprised if Wigan got rid as he's been better than a lot of their recent overseas players.

I think he is playing with a niggling injury at the moment which is why his game time has been reduced

Really? I think he's being managed due this silly part of the year. April has 6 games. A quarter of the year in a single month. Makes sense. Came on v Leeds and was still the player that fired us up and got us moving in a way mini Taylor watts etc hadnt. Ended up the only forward over 100 metres. Defence goes without saying

He's both

He can be a bit of a penalty machine at times and given our discipline this season I am not sure that would be good.

How long is Elloitt Whitehead contracted for in the NRL??

Have to say I've been impressed by Lama Tasi at Salford now he seems to have sorted himself out.

Guess it all depends on available cap space as to how Radford & Motu will shape the team next season and wouldn't surprise me if they are pretty much done on that front as seem to like to get things done early and kept quiet.

Think the likes of Michaels and Thompson may well go end of the season too as no point having a quota slot sat in the stands and as although Thompson is ok I think with the likes of Hadley, Turgut, Fash, Matongo etc we are better served pushing them.

I'd be happy with mcgillvary and Bateman for next season !
