Wildie would be perfect with his versatility.

But I would be fairly happy to go with what we have and ensure we have money to spare in case we get hit by injuries. Great that this squad will get a full pre season together now.

I got my first season ticket since 2019 based on how the team finished 2023 and how it's being strengthened.

I hope now the early bird discount is over they release some other options for sale. I'd buy me and my lad a ticket if they offer a flexi type maybe 7 games? No point me buying a season ticket as I can't commit to every home game but if they want to boost numbers thats how they'll entice people in my position to commit more than just paying on the gate.

Is Bradley Ho still with the club?

His profile was recently removed from the First Team squad list on the club website. That’s usually an ominous sign that a player has left us. Not seen any announcement though.

Connor Wynne gone to Featherstone.

Wynne has talent but he’s not produced that much for us. I think he’s a better centre than fullback.

Yeah he's not a full back. If the lad gets a good pre-season, back to 100% fitness and has a long run of games, could be a good pick up for Fev.

One thing that bothers me for next season is a lack of goalkickers. Lilley is not bad but only kicks in the early 70% rate. If he is injured I think we only have Gaskell or Holmes who are not recognised goalkickers.

Whoever has been working with Harry Smith recently has worked wonders. Six months ago he was very poor but recently has been landing them from all over.

You've answered your own conundrum, Peter

The club should get that kicking coach to work with Lilley (and might as well include Gaskell and Holmes at the same session)

Anyone at Wigan know who it was.

Gledhill stating Lawford going to Wakefield with us receiving some compo. Don't know if that's true but if it is I would be very disappointed. Showed lots of promise but never given a real chance. Should have been in when Patton was dropped.
