Has allegedly signed in the last hour or so !

Never heard of him. Is he from their academy?

For God's sake hide this. The Wakey board are already hinting at the Salary cap after Signing Pelissier

Don't think we have finished yet

Roy I trust Derek and Mike Norris were the Salary Cap is concerned,they know what the score is , and we have released a fair few players recently,Where Wakey are concerned I see a little of the green eyed monster.

8 or 9 released from the 2016 squad including all Canada bound + Barlow, Beswick & now FuiFui MoiMoi *so good they named him twice*, then of course there was Rangi who was on top $.

Don't foresee any SC issues & this is a young lad who has been on the fringes so won't be on top $.

Ste you can add Reni Matuia to the leavers list.

I did mention players leaving to them that frees up space on the cap..

Give it a day or so for it to sink in

Of course & a fine year he had at Leigh too, hope he is enjoying his retirement.

Why is thread entitled Dave Thompson ?

Surely we can arrange a pre season friendly between the Lexiters and the Remain (no new guys) perhaps on what's left of Marsh playing fields?

Of course, that was partly balanced by the signings, during 2016 season, of:

Liam Hood
Josh Drinkwater
Danny Tickle
Matt Dawson
Mitch Brown

Although, I suppose we could argue that Matthias Pala was also a departure - he was given a squad number before he returned to France.

Thompson was an excellent player at U16 level, he was big and fast. However as other players caught up with him size wise he became less and less effective, and in his last year at U19 level struggled to hold his place. I don't know how he did at Wire as I can't recall him playing against Wigan at reserve level. It'll be interesting to see if/how he develops.

Thanks for that will be interesting to see how he goes FT with a full pre season

Don't expect too much from him I'm afraid. We had him on loan at Rovers, he played three games and unfortunately was awful in every one. Hope he improves if he gets regular game time, but don't hold your breath.

Very strong winger but lacks things in other areas. Wouldn't expect too much of him at this stage anyway.

Well if we believe all the fans of other clubs who have graced us with their presence everyone we have signed is a donkey.
