| Quote ="cadoo"I've said this before on the rumours thread that Ian Lenagan confirmed to a member of our group when we went to Perpignan that Wigan had signed a prop forward. My hunch was Luke Bailey, but I guess Lima will do!
A friend of mine was talking to Kris Radlinski and he said that Lee Mossop could easily carry another stone and that the intentions of the club are for him to move to prop. This leaves us short in the back row department with Phil Bailey also leaving.
Stuart Fielden, Andy Coley, Jeff Lima, Lee Mossop, Paul Prescott, Eamon O'carroll and Ben Davies as our props for next season.
Joel Tomkins, Ryan Hoffman, Harrison Hansen, Liam Farrell, Chris Tuson and then Gareth Hock as our back row forwards.
I've said this before, but Wigan's pack looks phenomenal for next season compared to recent years.'"
I'm excited already and this season isn't even over yet, I think we all knew that 2011/12 was when we was going to start getting the bigger name players in again and it shows. Hoffman will be one of the best signings for next season, I can tell you that now. Exciting times ahead and once again a big well done to club for getting these 2 over when Im sure other NRL clubs would have been sniffing around. Our pack looks very solid for next year. |

IF this comes to be correct, which it looks like, this is excellent news for Wigan. Two players from the NRL who are currently on top of there game.

Would be a pretty fearsome 17! A lot of good squad players that we could call upon as well. |

Feka = a poor mans Jeff Lima.
He is basically a bit like Feka but he can tackle and he can last 40 - 50 minutes a game. |

IL stated from day one was that it was his intention to build a squad around Wigan / English players and then top up with top class overseas imports.
Roberts, Richards, Lima, Hoffman and hopefully Finch would fall into that category.

The strength in depth that Wigan have this season (and certainly next season) has been the difference between us, Leeds, Saints and Warrington. |

Cross Richards off that list. He doesn't count on the quota.
2010 = Cameron Phelps, Mark Riddell and Amos Roberts are the only ones that count.
With Phelps and Riddell leaving it leaves us with four spots on the quota. |

We could afford to buy the whole Storm team on Fekas wage. And with Fieldens rumours reduction in salary we should be cash rich.
Gaz Hock will play for buttons if he has any sense. |

You sound worried Adam
The salary cap is live. We wouldn't be able to make the signings if we weren't under the cap. |

The biggest compliment I can give Hoffman is that he reminds me of a bigger version of Dave Furner |

| Quote ="Steinlager"As much as I appreciate Finch is a class half back, I'd rather us sign a hooker.
Yes TL has his faults as a 7, but his partnership with Tomkins is outstanding and I do not believe TL has the ability to guide a team around a park from dummy half like Riddell or Buderus has.'"
I'd agree with that. Despite his world cup exploits at 9 I have never been convinced that TL should play there full time. I have been critical of him at 7 in the past as well but I have got to say this season he has played really well at 7 and it's been his best season with us so far.
The only reason I can see a half back on the horizon is possibly the lack of a kicking game as that is one area this season neither TL nor Sam have been brilliant at IMO.

I have a semi on at the thought of this being true!
2 outstanding players with years ahead of them and still in their prime.
As others have said our potential pack for 2011 is frightening.
I understand the comments regards why sign a second row, but while we have some very good young backrow forwards, Hoffman is world class and if a world class player becomes available and you had a chance to sign him you would be crazy not to.
In a straight swap for Bailey we still have a healthy number of backrow forwards, now and the younger guys are still getting a good bit of game time.
I feel MM likes the balance in the squad, its the personnel that he sees as needing a little work to really be happy with the squad.

| Quote ="Rogues Gallery"Hoffman at 16 1/2 stone is also big enough to play / cover the prop position along with Lima.
Add Hock and Mossop and there's some seriously big lads in that pack for next season.
Just get Finch signed and we're sorted.'"
And looking at his stats, Hoffman at 193 cms must be about 6' 4". |

We can't be over the cap because its "live". All signings have to be agreed with the salary cap auditor. As to Hock the rumour is he will come back on a low wage as he wants to play just for Wigan and wants to repay the club for giving him another chance (and for letting the club and fans down in the first place).
Riddell is leaving, Coley may retire, I don't expect Bailey to be here or Feka and maybe Phepls as well.

When i sawthat you have made a new post I was expecting an eloquent and articulate breakdown of the two players we have signed.
Instead I get this filth!!!
Made me chuckle that 
Nice to see that a bit of (possible) good news has got us all acting a bit funny!
