As others have said, i also believe the time was right for Dobbo to go, we had become a little predictable...

my expectations for next year are either 8th or 9th based on current recruitment as we will still have a very light squad when it comes to depth so a couple of injuries like this year will cripple us again.we are not a mega rich team that can attract the stars of the game and for that reason i remain realistic of our aims...

as for charlie coming back...imo he should be nowhere near the club... it sends out the wrong message.
Unless we address the lack of depth, then we will struggle again...
certainly cannot see us doing anything in the cup again as it is simply a jump too far, we simply are not good enough to get their.

If we get the players in that it looks like we might Costigan, Weyman, Keating, Langley, Tuson, Walker J, and Cockayne it will surely lead to us being a different animal from 2013.
I can see us being a lot tougher defensively as the players listed are better in that regard to the players leaving.
We will lose a fair bit of flair but it could be argued we were too 'free' in that regard anyway.
I just hope we haven't put a squad together that is going to go to far the other way.
I guess only time will tell.

I thought Tuson had signed for Wakey?

He's been given the opportunity to back out since Wakey have looked like potentially going down the shizzer.

I see. he'd be a good signing. I don't think Wigan particularly want him to leave.
