George Carmont should be signed up ASAP. He is one of the best centres in the league and the best overseas signing IFL has made IMO.

A rumour on the other forum concerns me. A one year contract would be ideal for Wigan so that some games we could rest him and play Goulding or Pryce.

I would get him for 2 years IMO as I think he could play a full season next year and then start bringing in Thornley the year after!

I'd give Carmont whatever contract he wants, one of our best and most important players. He is vital to our sucess, we really miss him when he's playing. Hopefully he can can shake off all these nagging injuries during the offseason, he wont have world cup duties this year aswell which will help.

One of the Top 3 centres in the league with Gidley and Senior IMO.

I will be gutted if he leaves this year.

1 year only for me, he is at an age and stage of his career where injuries build up and recovery time increases. 1 year with a second on option to hedge our bets, but in truth with the quota rules etc and his age i cannot see him being at Wigan beyond 2010, although we certainly need him for 2010, with Pryce or Goulding stepping up to the plate when he is injured staking a claim for a starting shirt in 2011.

Haggerty leaving London and coming to us? The big shiithouse prop we want, even if he is from St Helens?

Are you asking or telling?

I see Jordan Turner has been confirmed at Hull FC, hate to say it but clubs are really strengthening for next year, if the signings play to there ability and stay fit there could be some damn fine team's about next year.

I wouldnt have him in a girls u9's team let alone in ours. That would not be a positive forward move for us. IMO

Thought Haggerty was going to Saints.
Anyone else heard that?

Get Orford signed up.

Here's a thought, has he shelved talks, because he has been on this site and found out Hasler is coming to Wigan. Coincidence????



Or is this 2 + 2 = 7

Would do a job for most sides.


I mentioned it earlier in august. Heard it from Matt.

I would take Orford any day, he is the perfect player to play with Tomkins for 2 years



Hasler would be ok

The Graham to wire rumors has been going around for a while, but now there are rumors of a world record fee being involved to get him. Personally don't believe a word of it, however were it true and Saints were open to offers surely Lenegan would take a punt.

If Wire were to sign Graham after the other three they've just snared, I'd take a punt on trying to pinch their accountant - because he must be the best signing anyone's made in SL since the Cap was first introduced.

Fantasic player, but i hate the bloke that much i would prefer not to have him at all. cut my own nose of to spite my face!

Well i've heard Kings back off to Aus so that would free up alot of space for um!

The Stevo article in LE talks about a Bradford forward to a Lancs club. It's Langley to Wigan.


No truth in it, Wigan just enquired if I am told right.


I don't think we'd let him go tbh.

I would take Langley, big and strong runner, and would fit in well in our back line. I think unlike Graham (who even if we offered £1'000'000 wouldnt let him leave to Wigan), money could talk with Bradford.

Langley is a good player but i'd rather go with what we've got tbh. We have players like Tomkins and Hansen who've got plenty of improvment in them and then behind those we have Mossop and Liam Farrell who are really top draw prospects who should both get plenty of gametime next season.

It's props we need not backrowers.

I dont think it really matters on the pack position, what we need is size and a strong runner, Langley would certainly give us that.

I'm happy enough developing Mossop in that role. The lads 6ft 4 and must be 16-17 stones and is only going to get bigger.

To bring in somebody like Langley would mean holding the likes of Mossop and Farrell back and i don't think we should do that. The only way i'd be interested in any backrower would be if they were truely world class and a player we couldn't really turn down and Langley isn't in that bracket by any stretch.

We need a world class prop forward and if we could get one we could possibly look at playing Coley in the backrow now and again when playing against bigger sides like Catalans.

Matt Orford would be a brilliant signing. A creative organising halfback with a good kicking game along with plenty of experience to help nurture Sam Tomkins.

But unfortunately we have signed up Thomas Leuluai with the intention we all thought of playing at hooker his best position and his favoured position. But with Mark Riddell and Mike McIlorum on the books he is playing at scrum half unless one of them gets injured.

So unfortunately due to the salary cap issues Matt Orford is now a non starter.

And you can't see McIlorum going out on loan?

Me and my dad were on about this. If the rumours are true about unrest at Saints with Graham then do what we did with Gleeson and try and get him! Best prop in the competition at the moment and will be an England international for many years to come.

Graham this year then release Fielden and sign up Louie McCarthy Scarsbrook and we're sorted.
