I don't know why people think hiku has messed the situation up... There are other ooc centres available....hurrell,cross, keighran in this country alone... Why on earth would we need to take Toby back... just Loan him to another club rather than fund it for Wigan and move on

Hiku was offered a contract with us but got a better deal from HKR that’s were the messed up thing comes in. If he had signed with us would we have looked to bring King back or sell/loan him out again.

Anyways like I said earlier from what I have heard he is back with us next season.

Let's remain positive that these are words being said to king and Wigan to remind them who his contract is with and focus them towards a deal ...the reality should be there's way too much water under that bridge for him to return unless we are bringing cooper back also as the team motivational speaker

If Toby wins a GF ring with Wigan that will bring invaluable experience to our back line for 2024.

Hiku signing for KR wouldn't have messed our situation up at all.
1. There's no proof we were in for him other than rumour.
2. I doubt we would have put all our eggs in to 1 basket, to then be sat scratching our heads panicking because it didn't work out.
He may have been an option but we'll have had plan A,B,C in the pipeline anyway.
As i say i won't lose any sleep what so ever that he's signed elsewhere. He's a decent player but not a must have player by any means.

If he wears a Warrington shirt again I'll show my ring piece outside Market Gate.

When I was told I was hoping it was Matt King coming out of retirement.

he got called rotten on here as well

"he got called rotten on here as well"

Yes I don't think flicking the vees to paying supporters was his best move when his performances were poor.

How he transformed under Smith!

We can only hope that the swap of Clark for Dwyer is going to create cap space for some stellar signings for 2024.

Yeah i can't see Dwyer being on even half of what Clark is on, so we'll have 60% of Clarks wage (Guestimate). All of What Mikaele was on and the bit we still had spare. So that should allow 1-2 more possible players on top of Dwyer.
Or just 1 superb one.
BUT if King IS coming back he'll take a fair chunk of that of our free Salary cap space. So maybe just the forward we need, Tanginoa for me would be ideal as he can cover second row and Prop if needed. Also i might have missed it but has Currie re-signed yet or are we still in negotiations with us?

Currie negotiations ongoing.

I hear currie is going to sign a contract, but on reduced terms. If matautia retires(as the rumours are suggesting)then we should have plenty of cap space for some very good signings. We should be doing our best to get Lafai from Salford. Dufty, thewlis, wrench, Lafai and Ashton is a class back 5.

Ahhhh yeah i forgot Mata'utia might be retiring, so yeah another 2 possible players coming in with Dwyer.

King coming back is a big chunk of cap space taken.

Agreed.

That`s why he will be loaned-out again.

Where have you heard that.

It`s just my opinion, based on the effect on our Salary Cap that King`s return would cause.

There are teams on the other side of the Pennines that would take him on a loan basis, there is no need to strike a deal with King and Wigan.

Ok fair assessment, can’t PM you and I won’t post on here what I know.

Probably have McGuires salary to spend as well

Contracted to 2024

I think the poster is insinuating McGuire could be facing the chop if he’s found guilty of using offensive language again. I could be wrong though.

Yeh I got that but I don’t think he as a case to answer, not saying he didn’t say anything but I think the proof is tenuous.

I agree, if it’s all hearsay he won’t be found guilty surely? However if what a leyther has said on the other thread is true and he’s been picked up on a mic then he’s in trouble.
