Think he is signed to 2018

| Doubt that Ratchford is going anywhere.Roger Draper made a point of saying we've secured best players on new longer deals

I already class Harrison as a prop as he quite often plays 3rd prop (13)

Don't worry folks - I've seen that comment and it has been made by the resident troll on that particular site who is a Latics fan who has no interest and even less knowledge about rugby league. If you look at more of this clown's posts you'll see he rarely changes the record and just likes having a go at rugby league. He knows about rugby league what I know about brain surgery and he's just mixing it. There was a rumour going round some months back on the subject but it never gained any proper momentum and died a death pretty quickly. Out of curiosity I looked at when Stefan's deal runs to and he signed an extention in 2014 keeping him with you guys until 2018. I know contracts aren't worth much and I know as much about this situation as any other fan but can't see Wire letting him go so reckon you can all rest easy.

| I like Harrison as an out an out prop, I think he's suited better to it. Westwood at loose forward would be interesting.

Okay to be precise, rotation prop. There are other options we have for loose forward including Currie, Westwood and Grix. When Harrison plays loose forward he doesn't play enough minutes for me tbh.

| When we visit the pies, he'll been known as something very much different. I hope JH rams it down their sweet throats.
From what some poster who follow twitter feeds on here have said.. It seems his father is over the moon he's becoming a Wire.

I hope he does too. He sounds very bitter when he's talking about Wigan.

| It'll be a great move for him and I expect to see him kick on. He makes too many errors but there's no doubt he can play. He's a big athlete and can certainly cause teams plenty of problems.
It'll add a bit of spice to our games next year which is always good.

| Well if my memory serves my right, I'm sure I'll be corrected if it hasn't, he was the fallguy, forfeited by the Pies to get their hands on Larne Patrick, and they had just got Bateman, so perhaps he feels let down and paid the price because of Ben Flower.
It's not as if his form was shaat before he got injured, bringing back Joel Tomkins must have sealed his exit more perminatly than what he was meant to believe.
Put it this way he's developed into a great backrower although not as good as Bateman, he's a shaat load better than Joel Tomkins.
I think we have fell on our feet with JH, Ben flower's punch was probably the best terrible act of sportsmanship our club had ever benefited from.

Just looked and he's only made 15 handling errors this season (4 came against Wakefield), most of the time he doesn't make a handling error.
When I've watched him he does run quick and strong, he's also 7th in the top tackler count so he works hard in that department too.

Believe me from somebody who's watched both and like to think I give pretty balanced opinions-Jack Hughes isn't in Joel Tomkins class but he could be in time if he continues to develop.
He was behind four better players at Wigan and he's admitted it himself. He's young though and he's already improved from playing a full season at Huddersfield.

Although J Tomkins is not my fav player by any means he is a better player than Hughes, but then given his age and experience he should be. If JH can get to that level then he will have done well, wherever he plays.

| The problem with Hughes is that his passing and decision making is very poor and has been since he was 16. I thought it was something that could have been coached out of him and MAYBE it can. It's a similar problem that Russell had and still has. Both are very good athletes, whether they will ever be very good rugby players remains to be seen.

| Always interesting to get an opinion on players from a Wigan perspective. Rogues cannot overcome his natural Wigan bias and usually points a negative viewpoint rather than a positive not that I am dismissing his view as I have not seen enough of the player - however, passing and decision making are not key features of Ben Westwood's game either so am not too concerned.
I always take note of Nicky Kiss' posts on the other hand who genuinely does have balanced opinions and well considered rugby knowledge.
