They would be yes but he has only one or two seasons left in him max and the recent run in with the tax man I can see Wire getting rid of a few players at seasons end and not replacing them there is no way they cn afford as squad like that under the cap no way.

Briers, Monaghan, King, Morley, Carvell, Higham, Westwood, Hicks, Louis and Vinny will all be on top dollar and the tax man is sniffing around.

Me thinks a bid for Morley might sway them.

LMS won't come to us before his contract is up if he comes at all.
Wire would not let Morley go.
Johns would not leave Australia to do a few months coaching.

Johns came over to play for the Dire for a nice bundle of cash and he has done one on one coaching sessions with Benji Marshall, NSW and Wallabies so if the money was right he would do it.

Does anyone think we may try and use goulding and Hansen in a deal for myler?

Goulding yes with maybe Farrell on a season long loan deal

Not so sure about hansen being part of any deal

I think we need Mossop back ASAP.

Dont see why not hes not really that good is he.

I've said for a while now those 2 plus a little cash would be my offer.

If Salford are as keen on Goulding as they've made out and they fancied taking Hansen on(who i reckon would go very well at Salford) maybe they'd prefare to push through a deal with Wigan over dealing with Wire.

Saying that i think they need the money more then they need players.

Just like I've been pointing out for a while that Hansen isn't any good.

doesnt look like Finch will be coming over

Unfortunately from what I hear, this week perhaps!

Obviously nothing has come out yet, but do you think this means Bailey will stay as well?

That's why I put it...

For me it shouldn't change anything re. Bailey. He's not the type of player to replace the player departing. His future will depend on how the other young second rowers perform around him.

Mossop on the other hand, looks to now have a massive opportunity.

How definite are we talking btw?

Nor do I know how much we can say either. If we talk about Bailey staying on reduced wages think about the cap room we would have for next season??

A enforcer prop is now even more of a priority.

I'm lost. What's been said?

It will come out soon.

Our squad is about to take a massive hit.

can someone please pm me as to why they think mossop will be back this week ?

I know I've insinuated something about this in my post above but just to reiterate can we keep gossip, and that's all it is at the moment, to a minimum. No names and no allegations please.

By all means discuss it via pm but don't go into detail on here.

Thanks.

We have a perfect replacement for a 'potentially departing' player sat in the reserves. Liam Farrell.

Oh ffs i hope not

If anything comes of this supposed rumour we're well and truely screwed



Time will tell i suppose.

Well on the plus side i would think we may very well be looking at bringing in a bulked up prop in 2 years time with lots of lost time to make up for.

The Bailey situation remains the same for me, we need strike secondrow players Bailey does not give us that.

We potentially now need to look for a Prop a half and a stop gap second row on a 2 year deal, so they can be a little older as long as they have strike capabilities. I would love to see Frank Pritchard in Sl.

Pritchard would be a great signing. scored a good try at the weekend. Or (even though it wouldn't happen-Watmough.

What ever happens registrations must be held as this already is major set back for us. The last thing we need in two years time is seeing one of our rivals getting a new driven player out to show his worth.



My initial first thought was Ellis when I heard of this but my 2nd thought was Pritchard as he has mentioned he was open to SL offers,

Maybe he now has to be our top priority?
