The last thread ended with this.....



carry on.......

Yep. Would've liked to see Shenton at Wigan, but with Gleeson, Carmont, Charnley, and more, I won't lose any sleep. Best of luck to the lad.

It's good for the game if Shenton goes to Saints and then we can bring a couple of quality outside backs through. The way Charnley looks to be shaping up is very encouraging and I can see him getting some games at Wigan next year. It'll be handy that the lad can play both wing and Centre and i'd expect to see him move up the pecking order after this HKR spell.

Anyone know how long Joel Tomkins has left on his contract? I hear a romour that the Wire are sniffing around.

End of next season.

couldn't see him running off to there but aren't his family Wire fans?
sure i read that in the run up to the CC semi final last year....

presumably he's their next choice after crying to Hock

Cheers.

Hope we sign a lengthy extension sooner rather than later, just like we did Sam. We could loose both Joel and Hoffman at the end of next year.

I wouldn't be even slightly concerned about Joel leaving us; it just isn't going to happen.

100% not happening.He's Wigan through and through.

Rumour on Wire board is they are after Westerman

they can have him.

I am wondering when the signings of:

Fielden, Coley, Micky Mac, Hansen, Prescott, Tuson and carmont are going to be announced.

What if all decided to walk awa to other clubs ( purley hypothetica as this definately wont happen)

Should we just not announce one per week for thge rest of the season.

Joel could be a Wigan legend if he carries on and finishes his career here.

I'd announce them all at once. It'd be a better PR coup for retaining the local players that way.

Westerman like Shenton needs away from Cas if he is to reach his potential.

Westerman hasn't kicked on since coming onto the scene, his best option would be to move to Hudds or Wire and recieve better coaching to bring his game on, a move to Wire would be a good one.

IMO his best option would be to move here but we don't need him at all, if we did I would sign him and let Madge do his magic.

I watched the Newcastle v Manly game and Ben Cross played immense, I have said for a while I would love us to sign him and still do especially if Fielden or Coley go, even if they stay having Cross in the team we would have the biggest and best pack ever!

Ben Cross is one of my favourite NRL players..

Fielden
Coley
Lima
Cross

Christ thats good

Heard a rumour today that we are enquiring about the availability of michael ennis from bulldogs, by the sounds of it we have tabled an offer for him.

Personally i would love us to sign Ennis, he has to be one of my favourite people to watch play the game, he would fit into our team brilliantly and would also allow sam to play fullback and leuluai to continue playing scrum half, i also feel tommy is improving every game he plays.

What i like about Ennis is how well he controls the attack, including his kicking game, but most of all his agression (it does sometimes backfire) makes hime exciting to watch with his tackling and running with the ball.


What is everybody elses thought on signing Ennis ?

Check sig for my feelings.

Would have Robbie Farreh before him...but Ennis is a top quality 9

either would be superb additions to the squad, heres hoping that the rumour is true, got me even more excited for next season when i heard of it

but we still have this season to think about !

Ennis would be the best signing since,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Hoffman



I'd be amazed and delighted if we signed him, one of my favorite players, just cant see him leaving Auss at the minute

We'd have said that about Hoffman prior to the salary cap shenanigans at the Storm so never say never... could be a swap deal for the pig I suppose.

Oh and imagine the meltdown elsewhere on the boards if we brought in another SoO player...

I can see the salary cap posts now and I can hear Wiggy whinging about us bringing players in at the expense of youth as well. It'd be worth it just for that

Been told Ennis is keen to join but we are struggling to fit him on the cap. I think it may come down to Fielden's wage next year.
