I've seen it mentioned on twitter, Sarl and look on the Wigan board in the rumours post at the top, it's the last 3 pages they're on about it, if we lose him then Harrison will move to prop and grix at loose

I suppose it's a possibility. There can not be too many opportunities around for them at the moment and I think he originally came from Wigan ( Ince Rose Bridge ). I still think it would leave us short of props though. And all are young starlets (Laithwaite, Currie, Bridge are back rowers). I don't think any of our young props ( Bennion, Riley, Morrison) are anywhere near ready for SL introduction yet. So you have to ask why would TS be prepared to release him ? Unless of course Lenagan agreed to support the re-introduction of the youth age groups for SL clubs ( LOL ).

Load of bollock !

Can't see us letting him go to a competitor unless there's a decent transfer fee.

Yes he is. Every day after training. He's apparently been given a few weeks to get some personal business sorted. He will be back ready to go soon.

Needs to bulk up a little, looks to have lost a stone since the Grand Final.

This should put life into perspective, it's easy for keyboard warriors to type abuse. Should this article be true then all the best to Woody during these times

Hopefully state of mind has had/will have some effect.

Phil Wilkinson Tweeted "Rumours are true, Wigan are keen to sign Warrington prop Paul Wood - deal is not done yet (& would be surprised if it happened before Fri).".

Seems an odd one to me, no pun intended....

Hopefully Woody is going nowhere, but if this is the case would we expect Smith to utilise Harrison/Coops as the 4th prop, or can we see House taking on the role permanently?

That would at least free up Currie or Grix for more game time?

I'm also not sure that Woody is the signing Wigan need. He's a good prop with a good offload, but isn't the enforcer I believe they are missing from their pack.

Well we can't blame Woody for wanting to move to a bigger club I suppose. It must be the allure of bigger crowds, better supporters, more silverware, shorter commuting and free match day pies. Who amongst us would turn down a similar opportunity ?

Be honest now.

If Wigan sign a player of Wood's age then Rogues will be appalled.

Would Woody be a great lose if he did go to Wigan?

personally i dont think he would be, move harrison up to prop and currie, grix and cooper get more game time

Short term the squad would be weaker as we would be a body down and I rate Woody as a prop, however I'd like to take a look at House as prop with Currie & Grix picking up more game time in the back row. Should really bring forward Curries development.

He will certainly leave a hole, and he has been a great servant to the club. He made his first team debut at 18, but he is now 32 and only has this year to the end of his contract. He might find a 2yr deal very attractive. I would still be surprised if TS were to agree, but then he did try House at prop at the weekend, and he certainly needs to bring Currie and Laithwaite through, so who knows.

If he does go, even though it is Wigan, he'd still go with all my best wishes, he always been a top pro at this club. Hope doesn't but if he does good luck Woody.

'Rumour in Wigan is 2yr deal is done. Good luck woody.

Good luck to him if he does leave... he would go with my best wishes... He has given his all to our club...I dont begrudge him a move to his home town club.... Be a nice way for him to end his career.

Agreed, been a great servant to the club and was an important part of a team that has given us unprecedented success over the past four years.

Hope he doesn't go, but good luck to him

Edited

Terrible, he'll be the oldest player at Wigan. Still there'll be at least eight older than him at Warrington, and a similar number at Saints.

He's a mere child compared to some of those.
