He’s still a cracking player.
Good injury and try scoring record.
Great finisher close to the line come up with some freakish finishes, will strengthen them even if they are losing TM.

| Quote ="Stu M"Exactly that. He would start every week in our backline but not for Wigan and we have loads of cap to play with. Dodd and Makinson have been replaced with Sailor and Feldt but that should still leave Blake, Hurrell and Matautia leaving with probably at least one or two of Bennison, Royle, Ritson and Davies
That said and judging by how highly rated he is I'm sure he will sign a new deal at Wigan.
I do believe we will have made enquiries though.'"
Hang on. A few days ago we were “in talks to sign him” and now it’s “I do believe we made enquiries”. Just give up this persona like you have sources. You don’t. You are just trying to look cool and it’s embarassing!

There's literally no one on here more embarrassing than you (you can't even spell it correctly) you are a grown man regularly changing usernames and randomly arguing with strangers. You're an absolute whopper who should've been banned long ago
But back to the point, when did I say we were in talks to sign him? I literally repeated a rumour that apparently his brother had said Wigan were struggling to fit him under the SC and we were interested.

| Will we see Bevan in the squad tomorrow?
Wouldn’t be opposed to him playing instead of Forber on the bench.

Not sure if he's got any inside knowledge but the bloke from Wigan (but lives in France) who posts as Catalans media on X is hinting French has travelled with the squad (he said they were flying over today).

Harry Smith said they're travelling on Friday at the Hull game. He isn't going though so he could be wrong

Guess he's got no inside knowledge then
Hopefully he's right on the main part and just has his days mixed up.

Not sure if it’s already been discussed but I’ve seen a rumour on twitter that we’re looking at Zac Fulton from Bradford (well, from Sydney originally). Could be a straight swap for Isa considering he’s likely a quota spot?

If Zac is only half as good as a player as his grandfather was, he would be a brilliant signing.

I know nothing of the lad but that type of signing (young, hungry, inexpensive etc) would be fine by me. I do think we need some competition in that second row and even if a lad like that pushed the likes of Walters and Nsemba on, you're gaining from bringing him in.

You’re extremely wide of the mark here. Stu speaks to a couple of people who will know what’s going on and we’ve passed each other bits of stuff over the years that have all turned out to be true.
I can 100% vouch for his source and what he’s said about Saints bringing a NRL centre over with Briers.

| I was browsing Facebook the other day and came across an article saying we are linked with an NRL player as well as an addition to the coaching staff with years of experience. I then lost the article so have no clue whether I’d read an old article, anyone heard anything?

| Not a rumour or shock really but puts to bed the speculation, Rocky leaving at the end of the year as confirmed by his agent.
Right move for both club and player. Frees up some cap and with developing Farrimond very little scope for him to get game time moving forward.

| I was channel surfing today on the dodgy box and it was a New Zealand channel that was covering NRL and Phil Gould was discussing how much he rates Nsemba. So he’s obviously on their radar. He’s the type of player we need to keep in SL

Exactly - I don't think we need his versatility.
Fullback - Eckersley and French
Wing - Douglas and Eckersley
Halves - Farrimond and Keighran

| Jermaine McGilvary in a recent interview post retirement said he had a chance to join Wigan earlier in his career and regretted not taking it.
Great player - would have been brilliant for us.

There was a rumour a few years ago we tried to sign him but he didn’t want to be a back up, maybe the time we signed Miski?

The lad is a monster, I don’t think I can remember a forward having this impact as a youngster in Superleague? He’s arguably the best forward in the league with ball in hand, if he can get one on one with a defender you fancy him to make a break. NRL clubs will be making plays for him now imo, any NRL club who isn’t looking at him are fools. I just hope he doesn’t like hot weather and nice beaches and we can throw marquee money at him to keep him for a few more seasons.

Ball in hand I’ve not seen a more damaging novice strike forward since Simon Haughton.

Haughton came through when I was a pup but he was brilliant, a lot have him down as a bit of let down but he played for GB and played in a top Wigan side, he just wasn’t the world beater some thought, I hope Junior can kick on from his initial splash and become dominant like he can be.

He's got 3 years after this, so they'll need to stump up plenty of cash for him. I look at the way in which they seem to have unsettled Danny Walker and then walked away, deeming a 200k transfer fee ridiculous and I just roll my eyes at the arrogance of it all. The NRL is cashed up and we hear plenty of $1m dollar contracts for players and multi million dollar tv deals but they seem to be under the impression we should see them coming for our players as some sort of honour and just roll over.
Who knows what sort of transfer fee we'd be talking for Nsemba but there isn't much we can do with a couple of hundred grand and I'd be asking for the best part of 7 figures. We'll certainly have him here next year but I could see the following off season being challenging, once he's had clubs creeping around him in Vegas.

Simon didn’t like paying RL. I was told tonight that the club are negotiating a long term contract with Junior
