Isn’t he on a long term contract at Catalans?

It’s a complete NO from me anyway on this one. Maybe when he first became available all those years ago I’d have jumped at the chance but he’s getting on now and is coming towards retirement. I don’t see how he would offer anything to the club tbh.

Pretty sure Bird signed a 5/6 year deal on what I guess are huge wages, he’s a good player,great in his day but at this point it would be a huge no from me.

Bird seems to have suffered as many injury problems as Lockers during his time with Catalans anyway.

Miller and/or Tupou would be good additions to the squad.

Drinkwater was on around £120k @ Leigh, don't know if you see that as a suitable wage or not

Definitely. I'm a big fan of both, Miller especially who I feel is very underrated.

Not sure about Miller.

I like him as a player but feel he needs a good controlling half to partner with and I don’t think that clicks with Williams.

Toups is playing really well this year and would improve us in the centre but I think we could be aiming a little higher IF we have the cap space available.

Tupou would be brilliant but the days of pulling top performing players from clubs like Wakefield or Cas look to be over. A few years back there is no way guys like Tupou, Fafita, Miller, Johnstone, Gale, Millington, Moors etc would still be at those clubs.

I still think a decent offer to some of those players by a club consistently challenging at the top would be enough to turn their heads. That might sound bullish and arrogant, and in a way I suppose it is but it’s true.

I’d love us to go for Fifita/Tupou/Millington personally.

That Hampshire fella is going ok

He certainly is

Amazing how players can improve under a decent coach.

Maybe he just decided to apply himself.... But, i suppose you are right....

Haha. The use of your Eclipse alter ego is getting a bit transparent Rogues!

Not true at all. The Eclipse lives in Australia, I live in Billinge.

Not Wigan standard I am afraid

Steady on Whiffy, it appears we might agree on something!

With the slip in quality year on year, he soon will be.

Hello Warriors Fans . Drinkwater has certainly been a revelation but I should add that he has been playing behind a dominant pack . There is obviously an argument that the enormous improvement of our pack is due to their confidence in Drinkwater-and indeed in Langi-,. Drinkwater has not yet signed an extended contract and there are no rumours either way on the French site-usually a very good source of information.

Bird is indeed on a huge salary,quite probably the highest in superleague ,and despite his errors and fouls he has been a very good acquisition. He has 3 more years to go and there is zero chance of him leaving

For a Dragons fan this has been a half season of utter despair followed by a half season of total elation.How could we be trounced by Widnes, Salford and Hull K.r and now be able to trounce Castleford . Friday's game against you will be a big test .Will we rest players for the cup game,however . Good to see S.Tomkins improving steddily .
