I believe Wane had agreed the one year option for 2014. Your also interested in the young lad lineham (sp) from hull. He's on a new long deal at hull but wane really rates him.

Not sure about going for Lineham. He's on a long term deal and is one of the hottest properties in Super League so he's bound to cost a lot of money.

I don't think there's any point paying big money for a winger when Burgess and Manfredi are doing so well in the under 19's and Thornley is capable of covering that position too.

Yeah i agree, it would be great to have him at Wiga but Burgess and Manfredi may be the next big thing aswell.

Take Crooks and Lineham as a pair that would sort out our back line. Simple as that!

Whilst obviously it will not happen I believe those 2 lads IF they can be kept together will have stellar careers.

A local lad playing for his home town club, that would take some doing signing Crooks, Lineham would take some effort too, can't see him leaving just yet.

I don't want either one tbh.

I'd rather they stayed at Hull and made them relevant.

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Sun Aug 04, 2013 1:20 pm  

Local lad, who?
Crooks is from Cas and Lineham is from Leeds.
Lineham won't come to Wigan and he's a right winger anyway. We don't need a right winger right now as Charnley is doing just fine!
Burgess looked the real deal on Friday night so he may well be favourite to take Pat's 5 shirt next year.
I think we might have got Lineham if Hetherington and Rule had still been at HullFC. Not now though!
Both Crooks and Lineham are great with the ball in hand, defensively they are very vulnerable.

Lineham came from union, i didn't include him, but i thought Crooks was from their academy i didn't realise he was from Cas, apologies.

Bringing Ratchford to his hometown club. Centre, FB or HB. He'd be ideal.
