Do you think SOL will last 3 years?
I think pretty knackered up by the looks of it. He's great when you can get him on the pitch and a great leader but this reminds of when scully had to finish. He was coming back in big games but then missing a massive amounts of game.
He just doesn't seem right to me and then wane talks about him coming on the coaching staff. I don't think his body got much left to give, just like scully.
Hope I'm wrong as I like SOL.

I don't like to see any player retire due to injury but I've a feeling he's not got long left.

| This isn't about Sean O'Loughlin. He's still our best player as it stands and is currently in the team so there's nothing to talk about on that subject.
Joel re-signing is terrific and makes our 2nd row look very strong again. With Tautai coming in as well, it gives us the added size we were looking for on the edges of our pack. Both have a fair bit of skill as well.

Me neither. I think he needs a good few months off, I personally wouldnt play him until the playoffs at the earliest and only then if hes ready
hes too important to the team

Leuluai isnt getting a game because he is injured, has been since the World Cup really. I think he had an operation a few weeks ago too. When fit he is a definite starter for NZ Warriors.

| just finished watching the interview on Wigan Tv was a good interview and not just a 30 second video, but two thing it looks as if he has lost a bit of size and put some weight on (chubby face) and he looked as if he was struggling with his back on a few occasions.

Would we really have played him against Widnes in a midweek game after also playing him against Cas on Friday if that was the case? I doubt it

| Just got back from the match and I am over the moon with this.
Really well done by the club at half time. Red carpet, table, contract to sign.
IL walks on, then it's announced and on walks Joel.
Huge cheers. Then it's announced he joins now. Even bigger cheers. We obviously didn't know he has few more weeks rehab for the back but who cares, a great bit of stage management by the club.

| Great news, just as long as it's at second row and not centre, which is surely the case seeing as he was handed the 11 shirt on pitch. He'll have to get fit quick and earn it, as I thought that shirt had Batemans name all over it. Welcome back JT!!

and a great coup by the club announcing it this was as opposed to a pres conference, or an Observer exclusive. The first time anyone knew about it.....unless you read twitter an hour earlier? or was that a rumour because hes been spotted in Pemberton earlier?

Must have been a rumour, though having said that the people who sit in front of us in the east stand said straight away after the announcer asked us to remain in our seats at half time for a big announcement we'd be signing J T.

| I'm guessing Liam Farrell at 12, SOL at 13 with Joel at 11. Where does this leave Bateman?
PS I'm chuffed that Joel has come back to RL.

interchange, Wane said he was disappointed that he has had to relay on him after saying he wouldn't play to much this season and it will be more about stripping him down and building him back up. Guessing that plan went out the window with Hansen.

Right, but what about the long term? Where will Bateman fit in, your 11, 12, 13 all have at least 3 years in them. Has Bateman come to Wigan to be a bench player?

Given he was signed when we still had Hansen (giving Farrell, Hansen, Lockers) as the back row then I assume he must of been fine with the idea.
Especially as Wane told him he wouldn't play much this season! Turns out he has, partly down to him getting lucky, but mostly down to him playing so well!
