Personally though I don't think we need to be searching the NRL to bring in too many overseas players. What is wrong with the group of Wigan lads we already have? We have the best reserves team in the league and a fantastic crop of youngsters coming through. Why not invest in our youth like Saints and Leeds have done?

Thank you, the obsession with signing Aussies/Kiwis is killing me.

I agree but outside of the NRL are there any real Props that fit the bill available? In other positions i think we will be ok, but upfront and unless we manage to sign Myler as a 7 i think the only options we have are overseas sadly.
It is great to see us linked with Jordan Turner as well as looking hopefully to promote from within.

No.
If we sign a 6/7 then he will be the one to miss out. Loan is therefore the best option.
I agree regarding Hock/Bailey - lets do that in house with Mossop/Farrell/Hansen/Joel.
We need a top class prop to replace Coley and a top class halfback to play with Sam.
Beyond that we have enough players who can make up a team that can compete.
If we could find someone who would buy Riddell & Goulding even better but I think we will struggle in that dept.

Why? McIlorum has been the better hooker and a far more consistent performer than Riddell. Why should he be isolated from the squad for an underperforming Aussie? What kind of culture does this set for other young lads in the team? Why should we let other teams benefit by loaning him out?
Madness absolute madness.

Im not saying its right and I sure as heck don't want it to happen, but if anyone believes if we signed a half that Riddell would be the one to miss out, they are kidding themselves.

Well then why when it's obvious to the fans - do people think the management wont see it this way? Oh and then back them if anyone says a word against them.
I don't think we have any room for a halfback in our squad - unless Riddell was released. McIlorum and Sam Tomkins don't deserve to be axed and Leuluai neither - but he is not a scrum half.

But we need one, we wont win anything with Tommy at 7, once again the club recruitment policy looks bizzare, why give Tommy a new deal if Riddell is staying, someone has to miss out, because we need a halfback.
The ideal situation is Riddell becoming homesick but thats only likely if an NRL clubs wants him.

| I know we do not need him but would have loved to see Cooper Vuna play for Wigan, one of the most entertaining players there are, shame about his injury as the lad is a beast and signing him to any club would be a massive risk because of this.
As a project i also think he would make a great centre, but do not think we can sign overseas projects, all our overseas players need to be an asset to the team straight away.

Agreed. Exciting player, would offer us another attacking outlet.

| I'm sure i read a week or 2 ago that Cooper Vuna has re-signed with the Knights.
Don't think he's on the available list anymore and as pointed out we couldn't find him a place here anyway.
