But Hull don't play for the full 80 do they as showed against Saints. As soon as we get a decent lead we shut up shop and just defend defend defend...

I'm talking about how we SHOULD be playing the game, the incumbent can't be here forever.

That never happened. Saints got on a roll from a possession and position perspective and we were constantly coming away from our own line.

No cap left this season so if he signs it will be for next season.

I just can't see Wigan letting him go. That said the emergence of Hansen, Farrell and a few others might mean they have to cut somewhere?

Fair point and to think about it your right. But how many times do we hear people say that Hull don't play for the full 80? Alot.

Another thing we don't seem to have is a plan B.

I agree although in recent weeks that has changed, we scored late tries againts KR, Wire and Saints, long may it continue.

He's not going to sit out half a seasons salary unless we've offered mega money for a player who hasn't played for two years.

Play for Wigan for the rest of the season, I would guess they have maybe put some money aside for him joining mid season.

New deal for Richard and maybe they are looking at keeping Hoffman.

He hasn't earnt any money playing RL for 2 years, is 28 so maybe has 2 more contracts left, if Hull offer him more than Wigan he might have to take it.

Indeed, but we could be a little unwise if we offer him a big contract (or big ish) when he hasn't played the game for so long, a good player, just a calculated risk.

I thought Hoffman has already said he's going at the end of the season?

Wigan have a lot of players coming off contract at the end of this season and whilst some will be "must resign" players I reckon they could accommodate Hock if they want to. On the basis that he's been given RFL approval to train from the begining of April I'd have thought that there would have to be some sort of registration in place? The Wigan fans fully expect him to play in July against Leeds. He'd be a mega signing but it's difficult to see how it would come about.

He'll stay with Wigan as planned.

I've been told that he signed his contract with Wigan but we had offered more money and he's trying to get out of it to sign for us!!

GH will be a Wigan player next year , even though out for two years he is aparently mega fit AND has been training with the club for a while now each week , once he is cleared to play again he will walk straight back in and pick up where he left off, along with the England jersey that belongs to him.
Lets face it there are few in the world as good as him when he is on , fast, hard as teak,great feet and hands but most of all he is a clever player too (on the pitch that is)
once he has served his time then he has paid his dues and deserves a chance...
only wish Terry was still around to do the same..

A Player i would like from Wigan who just might be up for grabs at the end of this season is Prescott...

Mentioned Prescott in another thread, decent player imo

Good replacement for Dowes should he leave. Still learning but plenty of grunt in him.

thats an understatement


the term banger was made for him


big powerful and nasty with it, just like i like em!!!
He could be the casualty on the rosta to make way for GH me thinks

O'Meely/Moa replaced by Radford/Prescott looks good to me.

albeit you know Ewan is playing some great footie at present isnt he? but that would be a cracking bench wouldnt it
