His Replacement has been brought in and the fact roby is a 80 min player Moore is playing backrow.

The squad is shrinking by the day?

We've brought in laffranchi, hohaia and Flanagan and we've lost pryce, Graham, eastmond so far that's been confirmed.

Wigan have lost Hoffman and coley and signed who?

Phil Bentham.

No transfer fee,so which player at Salford is coming to Saints in exchange.

The media write up about this potential transfer better hadn't be true. He wants more first team games? He plays every single game for us and he's been doing brilliantly this season. If he had stayed he could easily have had a first choice position as he's better than the likes of Flannery and Flannagan. Only reason he's been on the bench is because we've got no impact on there at all and he provides that.

Something doesn't ring true about this story. Especially with the court case hanging over his head and the possibility that he will keep one of her majesties bedrooms warm for a while. Hardly seems a great time to be complaining about lack of game time! anyone else smell a rat?

I know what's happening and both saints and moore have agreed to the situation.

It's looking highly unlikely that he'll be keeping a cell bed warm tho

To be honest I didn't phrase it very well. I should have said the quality in the Saints squad is shrinking by the day.




Well we've played all be it one game without Fielden this year, so a fully fit Fielden will be Andy's replacement.

Hoffman will be a loss as he's been nothing short of superb. However Hock's now back and showing real improvement week after week. So hopefully he can regain his title as the best backrower in SL once again.

Granted we haven't announced the signing of anyone as of yet, though it does appear that Lenegan doesn't like to announce anything until the season is done and dusted. But we are rumored to be signing Gil Dudson from the Crusaders and activly lucking for centre to allow Joel to return the pack. But to be honest we've got a big squad as it is, so one or two signings are all us Wigan fans expect. It'll be the introduction of some more fantastic juniors next year that I'll be looking forward to!

Don't derail the thread spooge or you'll be banned

what do you know Pete?
is he staying or going?

big loss if we do lose him.

Can Wigan fans be banned on RLFans? I think were immune aren't we?



The tolerance of this Saints board is evident everytime Rogues posts on it. He must have some dirt on somebody surely?

Or maybe we have a sense of humour unlike your board

If the Moore to Salford rumour is true, we've got be sending Matty Smith back in your direction?

Having signed McPhersen, South Sydney, and, possibly Ashurst and Moon from you guys and NZ Warriors, we don't really need moore (couldn't resist) backrow forwards. So we must be signing him as a hooker, which has been Smith's main position of late. Moore does have a much better defence Smith.

Infact, Smith is an absolute liability in defence most games.

Whilst I'm here, can we take LMS/Puletua off you? Either would be top quality signings, not that I mean to point out the obvious.

Moore hasn't really played at hooker this season. He's been much more effective in the second row. He's a bit inconsistent but he definitely puts in the hits. Aggressive and works very hard every match. Can have brainfarts but can also be superb. Rough with the smooth I guess.


Nope. Both are signed up and ours for the next two seasons, so clear off!

Pm for me too please

I wouldn't sign Moore if it's a hooker you're after. His distribution is almost Highamesque. Cracking bit of biff from the second row, though, and I'll be sorry to see him move on.

If Smith is returning, well words fail me...

Moore is definitely off at the end of the season, I have no idea on the terms though.

Smith returning to saints was pure speculation. As for Moore he looked pretty good at hudds, when he was playing hooker for them.

Make that 3 PMs please?

A-hem!!!

What he said! ^

Not worth a PM. Scott is off to Salford according to the papers. No smoke without fire and all that.

I've never had a PM before though so it would definitely be worth it

Looks like Hohaia will be playing full back, scum half, stand off and hooker next season. Jeez this guy must be good!

He can start fullback, then when he knocks the bombs on he can move to scrum half for the scrum and then defend at hooker.

A veritable genius!
