you are going to have an awsome team next year, you beat some of the top teams in superleague last year
i think you will make the play offs without a doubt

Thought he was off to Bradford?

Apparently not...

Anyone notice the comment 'Big Spending Salford' under the Nero picture it's like going back in time to the late 60's and early 70's!

At last a season to look forward to with real confidence.


Let`s just hope our sums add up and we don`t start on -4 pts for cap issues

I'm sure I read somewhere that the cap limit of 50% of the club's annual income has been removed. This would mean that any Superleague club can spend up to the maximum cap of 1.65m.

Good signing for you. Looks like things are on the up for Salford.

Interesting times at Salford.

Looking forward to seeing how they pan out next year. Worth a couple of quid on them making top 8 me thinks.

Feka, Wild, Nero, Anderson.

You've made some decent signings for 2011.

Luke Patten's been known to have the odd decent game too.

Not only in the Sun, www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2010/au ... per-league www.wigantoday.net/sport/wigan-w ... _1_1159415 it looks like we're building a really good squad for next season, Tevita Leo-Latu also mentioned in the Guardian article who could do well for us now Mal has moved upstairs

Good signing for you.

It will be a shame to see your new team play in the NL1 if you dont get a superleague licence.

We will get a license, weve done what the RFL have asked and next year wel stay in the salary cap(unlike some clubs

)

Lets not get carried away on this one, hes not actually signed yet its on the SUN, although they was actually right about Patten.



Now just for maybe 2 or 3 more players, a few more wins next season and a bit bigger crowds, more development on the Stadium and we have a good chance of staying in SL

Here's an interesting read

Must say he comes over well and obviously a fan's favourite at the piedome

Until i get official conformatoin from the club or BBC then ill start believing

Would be a great signing if it came in

Hope he's joining, looking at the Q n A on the Pie site in view of the love shown for our "new" signing we may take some of their women aswell


Just need to resurrect that Red Hot Dutch Sponsorship and we`re pretty much guaranteed sell outs.

well he can eat 20 pies at one sitting thats why he is a favourite at Wigan

Presumably shareholders in Galloways Pies are breathing a sigh of relief that he's signed for a nearby club and won't have to move away

Really can't get enthused about this, sorry he's a luxury prop and not a grafter, for me he does nothing different from Big Phil but i'll bet he is on considerably more than Phil. We need a prop who knuckles down and puts in the bit hits as much as the big hit ups. Don't think he has the right work ethic but I stand to be corrected.

By the by is this fact yet or just speculation?

I've just taken a look at Palea'asina's Super League stats and compared them to our current props and I've got to say I'm very surprised. I'm not sure there's any real need for anyone to be on a downer if we did sign him really. (I know Sidlow has mainly played in the second row but he was signed as a prop)

Match Averages:

Meters
Palea'asina – 98
Cashmere – 93
Leuluai – 82
Neal – 81
Sidlow – 77
Boyle – 69
Jewitt – 56

Carries
Cashmere – 14
Neal – 14
Sidlow – 13
Palea'asina – 12
Leuluai – 12
Jewitt – 10
Boyle – 10

Tackles
Cashmere – 24
Sidlow – 24
Jewitt – 19
Boyle – 19
Leuluai – 16
Neal – 15
Palea'asina – 14

Offloads
Cashmere – 41
Palea'asina – 31
Sidlow – 29
Leuluai – 20
Jewitt – 9
Boyle – 3
Neal – 3

So for me, with the exception of Cashmere, he's comparable if not better than what we already have, and when you consider he may take over the Leuluai impact from the bench roll, he'd be an improvement


What makes you think we're not going to sign one? we're still linked with Carl Webb, Ben Cross & Willie Mason.

I think it's a good signing in comparison to what we currently have, especially if he is going to be used as an impact player only. The other props we have can last the game out and he can come on and off when best suits.

The one set of stats that impresses me in that lot is Neal, he doesnt look like a prop yet but for sure looked very competant and worth the punt for a year.
Just heard them talking on GMR about Feka and how he is to static in defence and gets targeted, to me not a good thing when we are minus Swain and Alker next season, they went as far as to say he needs to be hidden when in defence. Sorry for me a prop is as much about his defence as his hit ups.
I'd love to think we would land any of those who are linked with as any of them would add a considerable force to the forward line and be the backbone and hardman I personally think we have missed. Bring back Korki is what I say LOL
