He didn't do too badly in the 2010 grand final playing at 7!

I preferred him at 9 but he was still a cracking 7.

Obviously different people look for different qualities in a 7. Nothing wrong with that.

His only issue at 7 was his kicking most of the time IMO.

The rest of his game was better then the majority of superleague 7's.

Hearing Wigan are the new front runners for Briscoe.

Phil Wilkinson just tweeted this:

“@PWilkinsonWIG: EXCLUSIVE: The Warriors are closing in on highly-rated Leigh forward Sam Hopkins - see today's Wigan Observer for the full story.”

Leigh fans really rate him from what I read. I know Saints were interested in him so to beat them to any signing is always nice (although hardly a surprise at the minute).

Hetherington has said today that Leeds are not signing him

Dan Sarginson another player in talks with Wigan for next season. Not sure what position he's being lined up for. Full back / centre i would guess

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Tue Jun 11, 2013 9:44 pm  

No more departures with Sarginson, Briscoe and Hopkins in would do very nicely!

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Tue Jun 11, 2013 10:29 pm  

Hopkins is reportedly on his way to us.
