The worrying thing is that Ashworth is not the only one

Little said about Holmes other than he has a knee injury which we know about and restricted him to just a few games last season at Leigh

No time frame about Cartwright so sounds worse than it is

Hardaker six weeks

cant believe its just all bad luck

Sao

Staveley 

Lane

to replace with only one quota spot

You add in Ashworth

Plus probably the need for a halfback and a .

Do you think we could sign 4 good good SL domestic forwards, or three if we use our last quota spot (which I'd rather use for a half or centre)

For all our good young players, they seem to be in the backs and have yet to see one ready to play in the pack.

I'd certainly keep Ashworth.

For me know we need 5 players for next year

A prop (Sao)

2 backrowers (Staveley, Lane)

a Halfback (Abdul)

Centre (Briscoe)

If we could get Satae, Pryce,  Batchelor (saw his name mentioned yesterday), Cross/Wrench/Halsall/Wood and an overseas backrower.

Would the salary cap stretch to that?

I heard we had 270k left before Staveley went, add in Sao, Lane and Briscoe. That's probably over 500k. Could have one of those (UK players) on a marquee contract too.

Halfback could be dependant on how Charles and Kemp go this year. With Bourouh, Balmforth and Hutchinson we have a young hooking trio so hopefully Cust won't be needed there and with him only being 26 he could be here a fews years yet alongside one of the younger fellas. 

Liam Watts and Sam Eseh doing the rounds online 

Hopefully JC is just being polite about Sao. We should not be keeping him, been poor/ill disciplined for 2 seasons and now injured for a 3rd season. Needed a good season to be considering a deal. Let him go, let someone else take the risk and get fresh faces in.

Supposedly rubbished already

Sam Eseh has joined on loan until the end of the season.

Good signing big upgrade on Gardiner and Laidlaw

I don't think Eseh is good enough for Wigan's pack (certainly not at present), they're absolutely stacked in the forwards, so hopefully he goes really well for us and we could pursue the option of making it permanent. Though if they're losing Byrne next season they may be keen on keeping him

Decent, adds a bit of size which we desperately need at the minute. 

That John Davidson is a clown about 5 minutes before the announcement he said “looks likely” about Eseh, all reputable journalists were told hours ago, im still waiting for Drinkwater to sign
