I think Leuluai can have an important role for Wigan in the number 9 spot, remember he has only just turned 24. For someone as experienced as him to be so young can only be good in the long term as he grows with our current young squad (OLoughlin afterall is only 26).
McIllorum/Logan Tomkins and Leuluai in the hooking role in the future for Wigan.

Just leaves us to look for a good quality scrum half

I agree, but unfortunately we're stuck with Piggy for another 2.5 years.

Hopefully we can get rid of him this off season by releasing (Homesick rumour) or next by offering to sell to any other clubs.

I think long term for the benefit of the team and our homegrown players - I think we should release him from his contract and agree a compensation package.

Do wishes come true?

I agree. It might make it difficult for us if anything gets placed against the Salary Cap but I think the sooner Leuluai moves to a number 9 (highlighted by the choices of the best coach in the world during the World Cup) the better it will be for us as a club. Leuluai is one player who always gives 100% during the game and is a highly energetic player, useful traits for a hooker.

Some good news? i dont believe it!

Apparently a very important meeting is taking place today so there should be some more good news to follow

Here we go, another 20 page thread anyone?

I'd heard that there was a big meeting but I'd heard it was yesterday.

Hock's 'B' test results?

Could it have been about Tomkins then?

Dunno

Quite possibly the best news we could have had. Even better than announcing a new signing IMO.

Could of been, but lots of people seem to know about it who are reliable.

I was informed that there was a meeting scheduled today and would last for the whole day.

You heard the Gaz Hock is innocent rumour too?

Dont think Mr.Hock was even on the agenda.

It's a meeting lasting all day because the club are-

Getting Hock off his ban

Getting shut of Noble

Getting Kearney in his place

Getting shut of Riddell

signing Myler

signing Cayless

Signing Kidwell

signing LMS

Signing a new sponsorship deal with Mecca

Sorting the new shirt out

All this will be done by midnight tonight and the club will be totally sorted from top to bottom by the morning.

What was the agenda of the meeting?

No worries NickykKiss has answred it for me.

Beltin' news.

Sam, Sam will tear you apart again.

You forgot top of the agenda! I.E Bringing back "Pie Man" as mascot!

yes sam wants to play for his hometown club....but the reason he has extended his contract is bcos hes been offered more money....and fair play to the lad he really deserves it....and also a regular place in the 1st team.....its bout time wigan started to reward local talent....and stopped wasting big money on these aussies...take note mr lenegen

We're applying for planning permission to build a privately funded stadium off Warrington Road.

On the topic of Sam Tomkins - did anyone else notice that during the interview with sky sports Sam said Nobby was going to play him at fullback



Maybe the management see him as a fullback and are looking to sign a stand off and keep Leuluai at 7 - McIlorum and Riddell at nine - release Phelps and put Sam Tomkins at 1.
