Nene under contract until November. Think it would take a lot of "rub" for Beaumont to let down Lammy & Chester mid season whilst they all still have their eyes on the prize. Yes, Leigh would have to jettison some imports should they be promoted, but they have yet to be.

So hands off Nene (and your collective self

)

That’s daft, you could have got a decent fee for him. Leeds would have paid what you wanted. We are desperate to sign him!

I fully agree with previous posters and the benefits of him staying. I think he’s been one of our most consistent performers since he signed for us and is never one to not put some effort into a game. He is an experienced player and for my money adds value to the side.

So to that end to say I’m disappointed by the rumour he has been sacked is an understatement. It isn’t a catastrophic loss by any means but I just feel we’re losing a good player right at a time when we need experienced solid players. That being said, we don’t sack players for nothing. If he’s done something so bad it warrants dismissal you won’t find me berating the club. Ultimately the club and clubs culture is priority. It is an issue though that we may have a decent amount of cap space but quota spots taken up with Isa and Miski. One, or both also may need to go.

He's hardly without baggage is he. No club (big or otherwise) can afford to have disruptive people in their midst. Full marks to the Wigan authorities for taking the right action and demonstrating that they have standards that need adhering to. Good luck to whoever is daft enough to take him on.

If it's true, then we're going to have to do it tough for a little while. Tommy, Powell & Zak is a lot of experience gone and KPP is still out for a while too.

It was only a matter of time with Zac, he is very juvenile with his outlook on life.

We should have held out and tried to sign Liam Tindall from Leeds, maybe its worth a bid for Connor Wrench from Warrington? Or both.

Or use the money for Will Pryce from Huddersfield?

Good riddance. I didn't want him at the club in the first place. The club have stood by him after his drugs ban, and then drink driving. Then he moved back to Yorkshire and tried to force a move. I have literally only started warming to him over the last few weeks after he was putting in good performances despite playing out of his preferred position, and thinking he was growing up a bit and 'knuckling down' despite having to commute. How wrong was I?

Think Wigan could have absolutely buried him in that statement but tried to be classy about it.

There’s a lot more gone on.

How pathetic is Hardaker, a grown man who can’t handle a couple of hours commute? Doesn’t know he’s born.

I’ve been critical of him for years as a player, a solid and occasionally above average player, so overrated we never got the player from Cas or Leeds.

He’s signed for Leeds
What do I know lol?

I know that Wigan looked long and hard at McDonald last year and it was concerns around his off field behaviour that stopped them from completing any deal.

Ironic now that they need a replacement for a player with off field issues.

Yeah really ironic



I didn't hear anything about us looking at McDonald long and hard. I usually get a sniff of transfer dealings. The only one I missed was Cust but fair play if you know that.

I'm not trying to be a real ITK

Brian (Rogues Gallery) will vouch for me in terms of who and what I know so this is genuine.

You would have to assume that Wigan have terminated his contract knowing Leeds wanted him without having to pay him off and Leeds have picked up the tab. Surely we haven't ripped up his contract, paid him off and he walks into a new contract.

Didn't say you were. That's why I said fair play if you knew that because I didn't. I'm not ITK either, well maybe a bit but that because I know a few current players within the league, that's how I knew Tomkins had signed for Catalans, gelling had been released etc weeks before it came out. I rely on loose lips not someone going out of their way to give me a scoop

it's part of the reason I laugh so much at the geezer on the other site with his 'scoops'. His Nostradamus predictions that in the next 1000 years there will be a war In Europe.

Yes, you're not bad, for a Saints fan

and you do have some very good connections inside RL.

The club got rid of his profile page pretty quickly.

Some one on Redvee mentioned rumours of an incident involving the police in Ponty. Will the bloke ever learn?

Will we have to pay his wages up? Or them count against the cap as he’s been released? Or with it being a disciplinary reasons does it not count?

I remember a poster on here called Nottingham Tiger been laughed off the forum for suggesting that this would eventually happen...

It did happen- 3years later

I don’t think many laughed at him for suggesting that (it would be stupid to think this couldn’t happen again), from memory he was laughed at for being stalker like with Zak.

It will be interesting to see what he has actually done, before the Saints game it was brushed off as something fairly minor by both the club and Zak.

And was this mismanagement by the Wigan club? As it was with Leeds and Castleford?
