He will be signing for the reds, told by a good source, watch this space!

How much is the transfer fee Salford are paying?

I got told on Sat night that this was defo nailed on to happen.

from a good source close to your chairman

might be a season long loan...??

As I have said in another thread it does not bother me at all if he where to leave. Farrell has showed this season he is already ahead of Hansen.

And (IMO) you were wrong in that thread too. Farrell may score more tries but he is not the all-round player that HH is yet. He may get there, and if so then losing Hansen would have less impact, but at the moment we are stronger with H in the team.

Something at some point, has to give in the pack, if you think of Mossop, Lima, Hoffman & Hock in, with only Bailey/Feka (hardly first choice) leaving so far.

Hansen out would make sense in that regard, but Madge does seem to like him.

2 year deal. Great signing for Salford

There are 2 reasons why I doubt this to be true. Firstly he is under contract which would require Salford to pay a fee unless Wigan were willing to let him walk away, which I doubt.

Secondly if they have signed Hansen the signing of Bailey seems an odd one on there behalf.

I hope it isn't true, HH is a player I really rate. Would be a very good signing for Salford if true though.

Have nt we had this thread along with 3 hock threads there getting boring now

Don't be ridiculous.

Bailey and Feka (especially Feka) are supposed to be on high wages and Hoffman is only here for one or two years. Given Hansen is only 24 there is some serious short term thinking going on if the club lets him leave. As to Hock coming back there is no guarantee he will be as good as he was and in any case I think there are some rather starry eyed views on how good he actually was.

Dave

Would be a daft decision to let Hansen go with a year left on his contract.

Dont be ridiculous.

Hock may have had his brainf*rt moments but to suggest he was not that good is just laughable.

Neil

Hansen is NOT signing for Salford.

I was talking to him after the match. He raised the issue of Salford. He told me there was nothing in it.

I didn't say he was not that good, just not as good as some people go on about - because he had his brainf*rt moments mainly.

As to Farrell he's had a great season and had another good game last week (one of our better players I thought) but occasionally this season he has shown his inexperience. Saying he's better than Hansen already is way over the top.

Dave

It amazes me that anyone takes the rumours on these message boards as seriously as they apparently do.

A rumour appears - from an unnamed source, courtesy of a poster we haven't seen much of before (if at all) - that Hansen is going to Salford, and some people immediately leap on it as if this somehow proves that, despite everything else, the people running Wigan are useless after all.

Has it actually occurred to anyone that we heard similar stories about Hock and Fielden in the last couple of weeks? Apparently they were definitely going elsewhere too. And yet, funnily enough, there's still been no sign of it.

Not being funny but as it occurred to you people are offering their opinion on the wisdom or otherwise of the player leaving IF that were to happen because they like discussing such things?

Dave

Interesting that [uyou[/u responded to that post.

I think you're just peeved because the club didn't contact you to let you know what was happening with Hock.

They wish

he's already laughed it off himself, i know his girlfriend, this is bollox.

The only way Hansen is leaving is if we have a big target lined up.

If we've got rid of Hansen to make room for Hoffman for one season I wouldn't be impressed at all.

fitty

If I were H and these suggestions were correct (I do not believe them for a minute) then I’d be pretty miffed that Salford were the best club interested in him....

Surely there'd be a list of clubs even slightly interested if he were available!
