Might as well give us the double now then

Yes the rumours are true, but we are not signing him.

Westerman?

Remember us getting linked with him while he was at Cas. Wasn't he the next Andy Farrell?

I rate Grix higher than Westerman.....much higher

I wouldn't swap Westerman for Grix either. Just a shame Grixy's injury record to so horrendous. Hopefully once he's back from his injury he can get a full season. I was touting him as our next Captain at the start of last season but you need your leader on the field not in the stands.

I would say the captainship ought to go to somebody who commands respect from the players around him, him being on the field makes little difference.
That's the job of the playmaker organiser to command respect on the field.

Someone should tell Wigan and Sean O'Laughlin that.

What did they win last year? and that's no disrespect to any visitors. I don't have any facts (can't be bothered) on games played/won with SO'L in the team but I think the common consensus is that they'd like him to be playing an active part.

I don't know whether his games played ratio was better the year before when they won, but if it doesn't make a difference that 'approach' may suit Wigan due to their structured style of play. On the other hand recently we have been better with the likes of M Monaghan leading us around the park and calling the shots, or Morley 'putting the willies up the opposition' ....ooooeeer missus so we can get on top and play off the cuff, expansive RL

I'm with Wolfpack here give me a leader on the field every time, the commanding respect thing should be a given, if you've got to ask for it you probably haven't got it

If I recall we have had spells of captain on the field and a club captain, then after Briers it was Moz with Briers helping in the background last season Westwood/Mona's and through it all the captains have had long spells out injured while during those periods Brett, House, Grix, Higham, JM and Bridge have stepped in one way or another as leaders as and when needed

Duckie gets as near to it as you can captain should be someone who is respected within the club, usually a familiar player who leads by example also having a steadying influence.

there is a distinct lack of rumors at the minute... maybe we should make a few up like we usually do.

we still need a new HB with a kicking game.

where did you hear that from morleys? was it on Twitter?

It's very quiet. Does it mean we have the squad sorted for 2015? What we really need is someone spotting Asotasi carrying a suitcase ... or Myler crabbing in Hull!

Anyone pally with Stockton Heath estate agents?

Nope but the Halliwell Jones sign writer has been told to practice his C's O's and a K (and a P, R and N)

No......My wifes brothers mates boss, knows a guy that went to school with someone that is 'in the know'.

he says we are looking to sign Kevin Brown from Widnes.

its good...but its not quite Will Carling

Would rather have any of our current halves than him

Im a celebrity starts soon so I suppose there might be a bit of news from Australia once we get this weekend over with.

There may very well be if the most reliable source of information on t'internet is to be believed

Taken from Daly Cherry Evans Wikipedia page

"In November 2014, Cherry-Evan's has been rumoured to have signed a 3 year contract with Super League club Warrington Wolves from the 2015 season"

(Of course this comment could have been added to Chery Evans' page by a bored fan to lure in people like me, but you never know )

Don't forget that I found the 'Kerry Katona Stand' remarks on Wiki. Anyone can get on there.

Kevin Brown appointed Widnes captain for 2015 .( sportinglife)

Wigan Vs Huddersfield rumoured to be the last game on Sunday at Newcastle Magic. If true all is looking quite good for us getting a Saturday night slot. All looking good for a good all day session and a night out around the Toon afterwards!

Wye Aye man, propa canny like.

well there goes my fabricated rumor.

Announcement on Monday re fixtures, prices etc.
