Hank is a bit of a surprise.

Expect Thornley formally announced in the not too distant.

Is there anybody at the club with a better boot than Hank?

Hopefully some good news to come….

So thats Manfredi, Gildart, Bullock, Burgess, Clark, Clubb, Hankinson, Hastings,.Killer, Borough and Jake Shorrocks gone from the 2021 squad.

Surely room for 2 more on top of the 4 already signed?

I’d expect Thornley plus one more before the season starts.

Maybe but surely the cap space is there for more. That's a lot of players leaving.

While we seem to be struggling getting business done this year for top talent it looks like Catalans and trying to sign Mitch Pearce, Dylan Napa and Taukeiaho, that would really strengthen them and should have been players we were interested in.

I'm really interested in Napa. People say he's shot etc, but I'm just not sure if that's down to him being at the Bulldogs.

If there was ever a Wane/Wigan prop then it's Napa. He's like Singleton, but a better version.

Hampshire left Wakefield

Surely all this player movement outwards signals potential new signing(s), in addition to the rumoured Thornley?

What makes this more puzzling is why we decided to keep TL for another season. Moving him upstairs would have freed up his wage (to give us even more room on the cap) as well as free up a quota spot, I believe.

I am more interested in Thompson.
