Hill allegedly signing for Hull KR.

That would be plain bizarre.

Players like Hill and Curry would be on most players wish list but I suspect not realistic potential signings. I agree with Cruncher, Hill to HKR would be a very odd move.

That would be strange!
Doesn’t he live in Leigh/Wigan?
Surely he’ll have Saints, Wigan, Salford, even Leeds queuing up for him before trecking all the way to KR?

Whatever problems there are at Wire, surely the departure of Smith and incoming new coach will see most problems resolved? Unless there’s a bad egg?

Apparently also in for LMS, Murdoch-Masila and Lui. Would probably make them a top 8 side if they sign those 3 and Hill.

Nothing wrong with big ambitions is there? LMS though?

That's the same LMS who a guy on Facebook told me was one of a good number of players who deserved the dream team loose forward position before Lockers

The announcement is Lockers!

I think that may have surprised a few players!
Players knew there was an announcement coming but I don't think they envisaged that it would be SOL.
Im obviously happy that SOL has signed a new contract however, if that isn't the start of a few new players then overall I don't see any potential improvement.

The players have already been advised that the pre-season training will be the hardest ever but that seems to be the same message rolled out every year

It might not be the start of a new era as such but it will certainly help to stop the rot.

I shudder when I see lines from Wane basically threatening the players with a tough pre season as some sort of punishment for a poor season. I'm a fan who wants to see Wane stay but he needs to freshen things up bring some enjoyment to the group. Yes the players need to be as fit as they possibly can be but that should be left with the conditioners and Wane should concentrate on the work on the training field.

All the noise so far doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence that he can turn this round. I'd love to be proven wrong those because the guy loves Wigan. He's one of us and has done a lot for the club. He deserves an awful lot of respect for that.
