Having a playmaker at the back of the field will help Hull - any team that sticks with a running fullback gets exposed badly in the modern game. We'll have to see how Reynolds goes - he'll need to be good as Sneyd is so limited. Radford's downfall was continually focusing his recruitment on the forwards and outside backs when it's been the playmakers who've needed sorting.

Lots of Aussie halfback recruits next year (nothing new I guess). Field, Lino,.Reynolds, Cogger - decent bet that Warrington will replace Widdop. Читать дальше...

I’ve always said with Greenwood, if he had more steel and aggression about him, he wouldn’t be at Wigan. He would be in the NRL and he’d be one of the best in the World let alone in this country. It’s very rare to have a guy who is 6ft 4 or so, 17 stones but who can shift and he can play as well. He doesn’t have that steel, that aggression and so on though and that makes him a hugely frustrating player but still a good one. Watson will work wonders with him I’m sure but even he can’t coach a player... Читать дальше...

I think since they got rid of contested scrums , scrums have been rather pointless. However, to rid the game of scrums entirely would affect the game in a radical manner, and not just the role of 'the packs' . The whole structure of a team, and the game, would also be changed if that were to happen . Personally, I would like to go back to contested scrums, but I don't think the governing bodies would consider that. 'Elf&Safety' would also do their nuts.

Interesting there appears to be a delay in squad numbers for the 2021 season.

I think the club are waiting to ship a few more out over the coming weeks before squad numbers are announced.

They usually have them announced by now to coincide with the Christmas trade for fans.

I can see no more than a 30 man squad next year.

Who goes, you decide.

Big thanks for the well considered interesting post. For some time the only answer to my view that the overseas clubs would not grow the sport, but would block clubs here from being part of Superleague, thus lowering our value to SKY who benefit from English fans subscriptions, and reducing the number of clubs developing players was cheap and cowardly insults from anonymous keyboard warriors. To be honest I'm so endeared with your reply I just want to respect your opinion... Читать дальше...

We didn't do too bad on the field under Whelan originally we just used to bottle finals. 2005-2007 came about from poor cap management and coaching appointments. Once he sold the club he made mistakes with re-arranged fixtures but he was quite rightly concerned about his major investment and PL football. If he still owned Wigan at the time I doubt we move any fixtures.

Without DW there's every chance we wouldn't be playing in Wigan which is a pretty scary thought. I would definitely rather have Lenegan in charge though. Читать дальше...

Jowitt is just a fall guy.Not allowed any mistakes, Been one of my favourite players since he got in the first team Should have left us when so called super star Grix came.Would have been up there with the best under a good coach

I know nothing about him, never seen him in action but from that photo he looks a bit chunky for a running half.

Surely its time for Max to get this and be given the position regularly. We have used 4 different players at full back in the last 2 seasons and changed them more often than i change my underwear! All succesful teams have a consistant 1 7 and 9. It would benefit the team in defence and attack. Jowitt has been excellent in the games he has played at full back this season. I like Rocky but he has made it quite clear he prefers half-back. Alex Walker has potential but he seems to have lost his confidence... Читать дальше...

Looks like Hull have switched to Josh Reynolds after getting knocked back by Marshall.

He was another player I hoped we could see at one stage in a Wigan shirt (not now obviously but a few years ago).

Will be a good signing for them, very much in the Jackson Hastings mould.

One thing I think is becoming an issue with Hull is what they do with Jake Connor.

He is out of contract in 2021 and it looks like the halves spots are now taken and with Shaul... Читать дальше...

All has gone very quiet once again?

**Update** Saturday, Bradford Bulls responded with their 500 words of why they deserve the 12th Place, only One Club until last night has Not Responded! No prize for guessing... Читать дальше...

Josh Reynolds Is headed to Hull FC which frees up 500k on our Salary cap at the Tigers, we need a new half at the and may very well make a play for Widdop.
If so that would free up a Quota spot and a wedge of money for us here, i think Karl said they have a back up plan if Widdop leaves but unless we can grab Sezer i genuinely can't figure out who we would make a play for in the halves?

Jack Cogger to Giants one year with an option for another year (on his side) The rebuilding continues. Bulldogs fans seem to rate him.

Which people were saying this though? I think that was a question someone asked Donnyman. Was it SL who said this? The IRLF? Catalans themselves? French RL? Fans? All I know is that is wasn't part of the 'criteria' to allow Catalans into the SL. It might have been talked about in terms of a potential side benefit to having them in but it was mainly to have a French presence, French TV deal, French players, to really expand the game. And arguably they have done.... Читать дальше...

That's the best away kit we have had in my time watching the wire IMO.

Superb kit and agree the hoops are better on a rugby shirt. I do like the new away shirt but the home is better.

From what I've seen they criticised the EFL for not rigorously scrutinising the previous owners, and are now criticising the EFL for rigorously scrutinising the prospective new owners?
