That's a bit harsh, naming Wakefield as crap. How many times have Wakefield beaten Wigan?
On another note everyone can do well with moneymen behind them(not including salford by the way)
I do agree though that the level of RL has dropped significantly. The game yesterday (cas v Wigan was dire) although a good win for you guys.
The wire saints games was more exciting to watch as a neutral for a change but there isn't many of these at the moment or for a long time consistently.

[quote="jonh":1dck39b2]Wouldn’t anticipate any big names would be available or interested in a move to SL at this stage of the off season. If true it’s a player without a contract (of which after having a quick look none look to fit the bill) or a player who has been told he’s surplus to requirements beyond 2025. A good experienced secondrow with a strong work ethic but maybe not the profile to match would be fine. In my head now I’m thinking 28-31 year old secondrow from a club with a good system and 100 NRL appearances fits the bill.[/quote:1dck39b2] Think it's more likely to be a younger player from NSW/Queensland cup looking for an opportunity - there's enough experience in the squad to cover Willie.

[quote="MadDogg":2zz5kfmd]Think it's more likely to be a younger player from NSW/Queensland cup looking for an opportunity - there's enough experience in the squad to cover Willie.[/quote:2zz5kfmd] We have our 2 younger secondrows in Nsemba and Walters. Ideally, in my head anyway, someone who falls midway between the age of those 2 and Faz would be ideal. Can’t expect Faz to play every game and 3 young lads to me is a risk. Time will tell I guess. Will liven things up on here nicely before the season starts. Left field (and total 2+2=5 possibility) would be Sam Stone at Salford. Peet likes tall forwards by the look of it with athleticism and mobility and he has all of them. Was good enough to tempt Melbourne to enquire about him, but to be honest not really sure how he went at Salford last year.

Apart from just doing a Quick Look on Wikipedia I know nothing about Stone or his capabilities but his profile for me looks like someone who could add to the squad without causing medium term issues to the SC. Interesting times.

[quote="The Yellow Giraffe":1w90nulw]Yeah new deals for him and Knowles to be announced before the season starts.[/quote:1w90nulw] Hi mate, I spoke with one of the coaches at Wigan tonight and he told me that Matty Lees’ agent has approached Wigan about a deal. It would appear that Matty is currently on a below average salary at Saints. I’m not saying that he won’t extend his deal at Saints but they will need to triple his salary.

A glimpse at his social media should tell you that. Have a look at the house he is having built and the money spent on it. That alone should be enough to tell you he is on a good deal already.
