I like Drinkwater...although he only managed one try this year, he has 12 try assists and nearly 100 attacking kicks...can't help thinking Ben Reynolds would be a better "punt" for us at 7, certainly adds a kicking game and also cures the goalkicking situation.

Reynolds would certainly be worth a punt for me. He looks that type of young half who has a swagger about him and he'll come on leaps and bounds in the right environment (which probably is Wigan at the moment).

I’m making the prediction now that if we lose Lockers as a player for next year, we will finish in the middle 8s.

I’d be sad to see Gregson leave as he has always looked a good player, quick for a back row forward, with good hands.

I'd be interested in bringing Mortimer to Wigan. Plenty of craft that we need around the ruck.

I’m making the prediction now that if we lose Lockers as a player for next year, we will struggle for around 6 or 7 games before work out how to play without him, we will finish in the top 4, one man does not make a team

I believe a new signing to be announced tonigt. Suspect it will be an Aussie half.

FPN gone. If that's announced then players will be pleased.

Source is usually pretty sound.

Wow. Must have been lined up for a while if it happens then? Aussie half already in SL or from NRL?

We have been awful for years without SOL. If we could figure out how to play without him then we already would have.

I know we already all know this stat. But 8 losses out of 8 without him, 5 losses from 22 with him. That’s pretty damning.

Toronto have signed Westerman for £130k so doubt they will splash out on Lockers too? Guessing he will stay with us.

I suspect that it's an half. Source doesn't know the name as only a few at the club know who it is
