Please no McGoldrick! We have Sam Tomkins to play 6 already at our club! Plus either Smith or Tommy to play 7!

Please no IL! If Smith is going at the end of the season lets see where we are in terms of cap space with the departure of

Mathers
Coley
Phelps
Bailey
Smith

I also heard we were very close to signing Manly's 6 Bailey, who's the brother of our Phil Bailey.

He could not get a working visa to play in the UK due to the fact he had so little NRL experience last year, think he was with Newcastle at the time and moved to Manly in the off season just passed.

I think McGoldrick is a cracking player personally, but his signing were it ever to materialise would be another very short sighted decision im the same way as Phelps.

A mate of mine who's a full time pro coach agrees. Personally, I've never paid McGoldrick much attention.

Where've you heard that He signed a contract at the start of this year. Its like us letting Roberts/Riddell going already.

Do you remember when we were trying to sign Damien Blanch and all this he's not good enough for Wigan cr@p came up.

His performances in the World Cup should have put an end to that.

I would have loved him to come to Wigan before Ainscough got in the first team.

I very much doubt that considering he has only just signed for Manly.

What will the starting half back partnership most likely be next season?

Ideally Lockyer would be perfect to partner Sam

Can't see this happening though

How likely is it we'll sign Orford?

Just hope it isn't another Tim Smith

Which would be a disaster in my opinion.

It depends, they could turn out to be a great partnership.

We could do with a quality experienced player who can control a game and take the pressure off Sam

Tommy should be played at hooker I don't think there is any doubt about that
