Phil Wilkinson has said on Twitter that we've still got money to play with and he still expects one more signing.

Can't think what position we would go for now. If I was IL I'd keep it in reserve in case a decent NRL player disgraces himself or we have an injury crisis in a particular position

My guess would be they are looking to see if anyone emerges during the WC.

There are few positions where we have plenty of depth but lack experience. I could see us going for either an outisde back, hooker or prop if any quality, experienced players become available.

Hooker or centre, although Logan probably has earned the right to really stake a claim next year to the back up shirt, so for me centre is a priority.

For me the only positions we could really improve are wing and centre. I agree Logan should have the back up hookers jersey he didn't let anyone down although I still think Micky for full 80 will be the right option in the big games unless Tomkins improves drastically.

I'd only want a centre if a good quality strike centre became available otherwise we will be fine with Thornley and Gelling with Gildart pushing through in the next few years hopefully.

Wing for me is still the spot we can improve easily. I understand Burgess and Manfredi are highly rated but its a risk going into the year with two youngsters with less than a handful of appearances between them. I wouldn't mind a stop gap signing. Plus it wouldn't surprise me to seethe NRL clubs sniffing around Josh sooner rather than later especially if e goes well in the WC.

Tony Clubb: "This is a new exciting chapter of my life signing for Wigan and I couldn't be happier" 18/10/2013

Romain Navarrete: “I’m very happy to have signed for Wigan Warriors. As soon I knew that Wigan were interested, they were the only team that I wanted to sign for. To me, Wigan is the biggest Club in Rugby League and it will be an honour to pull on the famous Cherry-and-White jersey next year. I look forward to working with Shaun Wane and the players at Wigan.”

The "new signing" could be a player who's in the World Cup so wouldn't want it announced until after the comp is ended.

Without wanting to sound like a broken record, lets see who impresses in the World Cup - there are always surprises who won't cost the earth - but Wigan will be one of few clubs in a strong position to sign.

I doubt the WC would stop Wigan announcing a signing - more likely we will observe and see who emerges during the competition and then make an offer.
