God no. Seems a nice lad but looks finished, although he did have a good game last Thursday.

How long's Rangi Chase's contract at Cas?

Liked the look of Ratchford at Salford earlier in the season but he seems to have fallen off the radar recently.

I don't watch the NRL so it'd be interesting to hear from people that do.

As one who never expected him to sign anyway, I am less disappointed than some I suppose. We need a SO thats for sure, but there is not much around at this moment in time. What are Wigan doing about releasing players, maybe they might have another like Charnley who could come in at a reasonable price. I assume Tompkins will go to FB, so he will not be available.

Why not give Kriatian Bell a go at it, he is supposed to be very good and there are plenty of other 18 yr olds made it in recent years.

Wigan are reported to be releasing Feka,Phelps,Bailey and Riddell. I would expect Leuluai to share the 9 role with McIllorum and Finch to play 6 with Tompkins at 7.

Not sure what is out there and available for Rovers but not getting Finch must be a real blow.

don't wakie have a stand off out of contract at the end of the year?

Not that disappointed tbh, never been a big fan of Finch.

Ben Hornby looks like heading to SL next year & he's a better player imo.

Murrell? Prefer him there to hooker, in all honesty. We'd still need cover - maybe Bell would be ready for that (the I'anson role, sort of thing) rather than the been chucked in at the deep end.
It should be acknowledged Murrell's lack of pace is a problem, but I can't see anybody better being available from SL.
It'd leave us cash to strengthen elsewhere, but SO is the obvious gap.

And two years older.

Rangi Chase is arguably the best SO in SL at the moment. I'd love him at Hull. Can provide cover at 9 to a decent standard aswell.

I'm pretty sure Chase signed a 4 year deal with Cas at the end of last season.

Looks like Wigan got that chocolate factory out Mrs B


I would of liked Ratchford but I believe Salford have taken up the 12 month option on his contract

I honestly reckon any club who signed Cameron Phelps and gave him a run at halfback would have a very good player on their hands. A former Australian Schoolboys international in that position. I'm sure Wigan would have given him a run there had it not been for horrible luck with injuries this year.

Cameron Phelps, yes please.

Finch will probably play 7, his best position, he was SO at the storm as they have Cronk. Sam will stay at 6 with Leuluai to 9.
