You're maybe right, we look alright in the backs I think now.



If the rumour about Hill signing for another 2 years are is right and Bullock is also signed I doubt there will be any more signed in the front row. I would be happy with that I think. Bullock offers more than Sita, he does need to up his contribution from what I have seen of him in a Wigan shirt but our pack is better with him over sita IMO. I'm not sure where we could improve after that unless we lose any more of our players who are off contract.

Will thay be enough? Maybe a few youngsters will be (or have been) added to the first team squad for next season. Looks a good squad on paper for me although obviously Bullock is just a rumour at this stage, I suppose Hill is as well at this stage and this also assumes Darryl Clark will be staying.

No Ashton CW8 and I thought Hill had already signed for Hudd's unless there's been a U turn?



FWIW I'd keep Ashton as I think he's got great potential if he can get an injury free run and I don't think Charnley's contract will be extended.

Full Back: Ratchford, Thewlis

Wing: Charnley, Minikin, Thewlis

Centre: Mata’utia, King, Minikin, Wrench

Half Backs: Widdop, Williams, Ratchford, Dean

Prop: Hill?, Cooper, Philbin, Mulhern, Bullock?, Harrison, Butler

2nd Row: Currie, Holmes, Longstaff, Davis, Hughes

Loose: Hughes, Davis, Harrison, Doro

Hooker: Clark, Walker



Assuming Hill stays and Bullock signs we look ok at prop. I’m hopeful Minikin has been signed to cover that Mamo role and we still have a winger (or Ashton) to sign.



Only one overseas player in all those.

We might look good for cover in the backs, but if we don't get Ashton signed up then I'm struggling to see any real pace in there and that worries me.

Regarding Bullock reading some of the posts on Wigan board they will be happy with him gone.

His stats on the Superleague site after a game are generally shocking, but that can be said for all of their prop stats in terms of workload, except possibly Harvard.



If he’s a straight swap for Sita it’s fine, if he’s a replacement for Hill I’m worried.

I'd keep Ashton as well personally. I thought I had included him but missed him off the list.



Somene on here mentioned Hill has signed a 2 year contract extension with us last week and I like that rumour so I'm sticking with it. It may well turn out to be wishful thinking.



I think we need a little more back row cover myself, or another couple of squad players. Depends whether there are a few 17/18/19 year old who look like they could be ready to step up.

I think there's some kind of issue between him n lam to be honest. He got 12min the other day he was not in the 17 until gildart pulled out n they wasted a subbto bring him into the 17 but not starting which is crazy. .

When he first went to Wigan he looked really good but has faded since wane left. New enviroment and coach, get him back to his best i'd be happy with him in the rotation

Hilly has a bathroom business doesn't he ? I would guess it would be much more awkward to run / manage if he did go to Hudds. Plus would he move his family or commute ? either way it would be less appealing. I too quite like the rumour he has re-signed but have no definite info.

Ideally for me Hill to stay and Bullock being a solid improvement on Sita but I suppose time will tell!



I would like us to keep Ashton, but his injury record isn’t great unfortunately for him.

Not a signing that gives me the yippee’s.
