(please comment if you know of any i have missed)

Good job, but it's Wakefield Trinity now.

Haven't the Wildcats also lost Jordan Tansey ? I haven't seen which club he has gone to though.

Leeds, Huddersfield and Salford don't look stronger yet. Worrying considering they finished in the bottom four last year.
Castleford Tigers: In - Rangi Chase.

Theres still alot of movement to happen looking at that. I have been frustrated with Saints seeming lack of movement, but it seems we're one of the more active teams so far!

Dawson has gone from Saints to Leigh.

Yes, we got rid of him in August though to Hudds.

[urlhttp://www.loverugbyleague.com/news_23310-tansey-exits-wakefield.html[/url

steve michaels not released by hull fc, a new deal to be announced soon

Daniel Murray arrived at Salford from Warrington. It's not an internal transfer. Unless its another salary cap dodge we're trying
Sorry to be pedantic

Leeds and Huddersfield were affected by a lot of injuries and Salford would have finished 7th but for the points deduction. Heard Salford will be announcing 3-4 new signings within the next 3 weeks. Personally I'm hoping Salford only sign 3-4 because for the past few years we've changed too many players and I don't think it helps making wholesale changes.

True. Salford have also lost Josh Griffin and Caton-Brown though.
I'm not too sure how strongly Leeds and Huddersfield can play the injury card. Everyone seemed to have major problems last year (bar Hull FC).

So were Castleford and Wakefield, big deal.

True enough but we had about 9-10 first teamers out at any one time for 3/4 of the season. It caught us out as we had a light squad really, then there was losing the quality of Ferres and Robinson having to retire. Not sure its the worst of any team but I've watching the giants for 20 odd years and I can't remember a season like it. Having said that we still lost most games by only a score or two so I'd like to think we'll be a different beast next season, with or without anymore signings.

Griffin will be a loss and we need to find a decent replacement. Caton-Brown missed a large chunk of the season and was more a squad player that found some attacking form towards the end of the season. Caton-Brown has pace to burn but he can be vulnerable under a high ball and his defence needs more work. We got nothing from Vidot this year after his injury and it will be interesting to see if he stays and if he does how he goes in 2017.

As for the injuries I think both clubs lost some influential players from 2015 that compounded their injury problems. Peacock, Sinfield, Ferres and Robinson was forced to retire early in 2016.

Catalans have 9 players on the way out and only 2 on the way in, as things stand. Hopefully this is a sign they have a new crop of young players to bring through.

Exactly, whilst injuries,early season disruptions and detached team spirit didn't help our cause, we finished bottom because we didn't win enough games, we blew enough chances to win most of those games, so nobodies fault but our own.

Slight correction to the first post...

Daniel Murray coming in at Salford came from Warrington not through Salford ranks.

Sorry for being anal.

Not many had more injuries than us and we're now sitting pretty as Champions.

Ahhh the good old club development of young players is as good or worse than it has ever been.
Reserve teams for SL clubs anyone?

True enough, injuries are part and parcel and Wigan did well.

However Wane mentioned it every game as did Eddie and Stevo and gained much sympathy yet at the end of the season when Wakefield were riddled with injuries and suspensions mainly to their better players this was not mentioned and certainly never used to explain our obvious lack of form at the end of the season - one rule for one etc from the hpypocritical world that is RL.

That's because Wigan - big club, Wakefield - small club.

If they folded tomorrow no one would give a sh*t except for the ten people that show up (and I'm round up the numbers there).

It's f*cking tin pot clubs like Wakey and Cas that are forcing the RFL to persist with the salary cap and thus driving down the quality of Super League every year until we inevitably become nothing more than a feeder competition for Union and the NRL.

It's forest gump time.



Oh and 62-0 that must have been humiliating for such a big club

Wow, there are some very valid points in that rant, and we are definitely in danger of being a feeder comp/game

Hahahahahaha good one!

Super League champions.

Every club in SL is tinpot, you think anyone outside of England and Australia know who Wigan are ??? Your hardly Real Madrid yourselfves you arrogant d1ck

Your support for your success is the worst in the league pal, you can't even sell more than 2000 for a semi final

I see the champagne hasn't worn off yet then no?
You really are clueless aren't you. You do realise that both of the clubs you mentioned both made the top 8 this year? (given we didn't actually win a game but still)
Oh and for the "10 people that show up" - we did pretty well considering we were the team that increased our attendances the most this year from the year before


Tell me, where would you be if you actually had to own and fund your own stadium without feeding off the football team?
Or where you would've been had you not cheated in 2006 to bring in players (over the cap) to stop you going down? ha.

Oh and as for Castleford - they've been consistently in the top 6 for the past 3 years - so how you can still call them a tin pot club is beyond me.

Laughable.
