Definitely signed then.

I think wood would be a solid signing myself. He would give us a decent front row in wood, Mossop, Prescott, flower, Lauaki, Taylor and Dudson all be fighting for 4 shirts. How would your front row look without him? Can you afford to lose him and do you have many front rowers coming through?

I'd be gutted if Woody signed for them

Your rumour I'm assuming given you haven't given at least a hint of where it comes from !

Wane suggests there is nothing in the rumour. Then again, he probably doesn't get involved in complicated things like player recruitment and spends most of his time eating bananas and playing with Mossop's hair.

Brilliant. it would be a good move for Woody, he know's he is guaranteed a game at Wigan and it's his hometowm club so no doubt always been a dream of his.

Very good. Made me laugh anyway.

Watched superleague backchat last night,was suggested on there he is on is way to wigan but not in time to play against us????

Good luck to Woody at his home town club, you have to wonder whether his personal life has effected his decision here.
A warning to Wigan though, the 2 previous 1st team players sold to them were Mark Hilton and Martin Gleeson and, Grand Final ring aside for Gleeson, look how they turned out.
As for a Wire point of view, I'd be more concerned if it was Moz, Carvell, Trent, Westwood, Hill or Harrison leaving which says it all really

No smoke without fire? well there has certainly been a lot of smoke this past week for this not to be true.

I have to say that if the rumours are true then the signing of Paul Wood suggest to me that Shaun Wane feels that Wigan would benefit from more competition in the forwards, perhaps this has been made more of an issue since the departure of Hock.

Personally I don't think the signing of Wood can do any harm and will at least add some competition to the squad but as some supporters have rightly pointed out on the Wigan forum perhaps releasing Stuart Fielden was a mistake? He certainly looked strong against St.Helens on Friday.

Most importantly though is the players mental health and I think the interview with Paul Wood published by State Of Mind was superb and it is fantastic that players at Warrington have Adrian Morley as their SOM ambassador.

Good luck to Paul Wood whatever he decides to do, the players health comes first so I just hope he is happy wherever he ends up.

Roll on Friday.

LOL. You forgot swinging on his tyre.

Morley to Salford is the one in the evening news. Salford want to buy him out of his contract..

Hilton was no big deal, signed him, found he was crocked, released him, signed a player instead, moved on.

woods named in our 19 so a chance he might play on friday? if these rumours are true then im not sure thats a good idea

Scoring 2 try's in a grand final victory against our biggest rivals makes him a club legend regardless of how things turned out. Him leaving Wigan was certainly handled in a better way then this Hock affair and unlike Hock Gleeson won a major honour whilst playing for the club. His signing will always be regarded as a good one in my book.

As for Hilton that was just one of those things. He'd had a lot of injury problems and he wasn't on a great deal anyway.

If Wood does sign I'd expect we've signed a solid pro. He'll do a job for us in that pack and add some experience. He won't win you games on his own but he won't lose them either.

He has unfinished business at Warrington, he shouldn't go for many reasons, it's a lob for mine.

According to Tony Smith Woody is going nowhere www.warrington-worldwide.co.uk/a ... Page1.html

You don't need to remind me of that - although a few on here love to


But I can only ask the questions.
Woody trained with team today and others in the camp have told me he is staying put - but hey we all know things can change in a split second.

Wane's world nothing more, usual rumour and mouthy tactics, he always does this tyring to unsettle our camp, he's like an old woman.

It's easy for The Lord Tony Smith to say a player is not coming into the team so when he does its a great signing and a win win situation, however, should he say Woody is staying then its turns out he's going then it will be hard for him to win the fans trust back in whatever he says in the future.
I hope Woody is in the 17 for Friday and he shows the level he was at last season.

Not intended as a dig at yourself Gary, as you say you can only ask the question. Smith also told Paul Rowley a few months ago that Laithwaite would not be playing at all in the Championship this year, that didn't last long!
