McMeekan is just an example of the type of forward I think we should target. Big, athletic and strong running. I’d be happy with an overseas signing.

Greenwood sounds ideal

No shocker here but it confirms that Wigan are actively looking to loan out Escare: https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/pa ... -to-clubs/

I doubt we will do that. I think Wakefield is still the most likely as they have recently had a few injuries. Surely we will want some (if not all) of his wage of the books to help fund a mid season signing.

Can’t see Wakefield taking Escare they have 3 fullbacks on the books.

To be honest I can’t see anyone taking him off our hands unless he drops down a division.

HKR? Isn't Quinlan meant to be out for a while?

if we were paying his wages then he stays put and plays reserves for me or at Swinton. No point us paying him to play for him play for someone else.

Or even the daftest thing of all, allowing them to play for an opponent and paying them to help a club beat us!

I agree with that sentiment in fairness

https://www.wigantoday.net/sport/rugby- ... gan-718090 Chris Ashton has expressed a desire to play for Wigan again at some point. He's 30 years old, I can't say I've followed his RU career much since he left other than seeing he's scored a few swan dive tries for England a few years ago. Is he any good these days? Do we need him, he's a winger isn't he? Is he worth a punt on the right money (I assume he would want decent money, but don't we get dispensation)? Or should we just say thanks but no thanks?
