Good! Thanks for the memories and he has been a hell of a player but not one I was hoping to see back.
Hopefully however it was true we were interested as it would indicate we have a good chunk of cap available.

Suggest this may have been a back up plan if lockers didn't sign

I agree with Gleeson, such a shame with him, one of the best centres we've had at Wigan in the past 10 years. Deacon was signed for a year then onto coaching, think he eventually did 2, wasn't signed for any other reason but as a transition.
nevertheless, I think one of the issues as discussed is recruitment as we've discussed.

If he's good enough for the best club team in the world he's good enough for us.

That rumour was on here a few days ago. I wonder if the WEP have just taken it from here or if there's a genuine link. Plays prop / 13 and he's only 20.

| Phil Wilkinson seems pretty much on the ball. In twitter I get the feeling we're targeting a prop on top of signing Hamlin but we'll firstly need to make some room.
If no halfback is coming in then Tomkins must move to the halves and Tommy to hooker or else we'll just keep coming up with the same performances.

A project signing again. If he's good he'll be back in Australia in under 3 years.

No problem with that at all. Kibula, Partington, Barnes to come through.
Jack Wells well on his way.
btw Hamlin won't count on the quota.

If he is it'll probably mean he's played well so that might not be a bad thing.
In the WEP article, Wane mentions how much he loves the project type signings so I wouldn't be expecting anything other then one or two signings of this type.
That YouTube video of him certainly gets you excited about how good this kid could be but then as somebody pointed out, you could make a decent highlight guys reel for FPN.

True! You could make a highlight reel for many crap players making them look good!

Is that a rumour or hope? would love it to be true. I’ve heard many good things about his coaching ability.

See my earlier post, he/she regularly makes up random rumours for attention. Agree regarding Lam's coaching ability, I think he would come over as a head coach if he ever did come to SL though. He isn't far off an NRL head coach gig.

Good news I guess. I do like the idea of recruiting young up-and-coming Aussies rather than 30+ year olds.
More needed, though! And does this mean (or imply) that FPN is on his way?

Not sure what it means but I'm glad we're seeing some movement. Looks like he can play a similar role to Lockers and alternate between prop and 13. The clip of him shows he's a big unit with good feet and a bit of pace. 1st impression is a good one. It says recommended by Madge and Pat Richards!

I am hoping that he replaces Narvette and that a further signing will be announced re the replacement for FPN.
The video clip is more than likely from his agent however, he certainly looks the part and if MM and PR recommend him then that'll do for me in the short term.

Pat initially signed for 2 years as I recall and stayed on for 8, becoming a club legend! We never know, we could have a budding superstar who'll stay for years to come! optimism of the highest order eh?

Stop being a tool Grimmy, everything i have posted has come from other sites and other fans. If it was attention that i wanted i would act out on facebook and instagram, not a Wigan fan site.

I am quite relaxed about this signing because I'd much prefer a young buck on the way up rather than an old timer looking to top up his pension fund
As long as there are other props signed and they must be experienced and an improvement on what we have got then I seen this signing as a small part of pretty radical changes that are required.

No one can say who'll come through or not. If he's any good why would we wanna see him go? I see losing good players as a problem.
Think his mother is from Blackpool re quota.
