Sign him up Mr Chairman. He is one of our own.

Exactly, we need to keep that continuity in the squad rather then seeing umpteen players walk through the door each year.



Tuson could be our JJB. He'll never be a world class player because his size will limit him but he's turning in to a fine superleague player that plays with heart, desire, aggression and above his weight.



If any Wakey fans are reading this thread I bet they're hoping it doesn't fall through! There's no better measure of a players ability then the reactions of the teams fans who that player is leaving.

I'd like him to stay but his main reason for leaving was wanting a regular starting role, would he get that at Wigan next year?

Jeez the way things are going Doc Murray would get a regular starting role.........

He would be a man of steel contender in the modern game.

It all depends on the value Tuson wants salary wise. Wigan will have a figure they think he is worth and that's what they should offer.

I like Tuson he's a hard working player BUT I don't think he's big enough if we also have Farrell in the second row. If Tuson is happy to be a squad player at Wigans valuation then I agree he could be worth signing. However bear in mind he will be 24 years of age at the start of next season so may not be able to go out on loan.

One factor that might have a bearing is Lockers' long-term future, depending on how serious his injury is. Tuson might have to cover at #13 until Burke comes through...

You cant keep them all and I dont think Tuson at Wigan justifies the salary that he can presumably get as a starting player elsewhere. He will always be a bench/squad player at best at Wigan and he doesnt offer anything that Farrell and Hansen dont.

Hansen and Lockers ghave missed big chunks of this year, that is why Tuson is invaluable. He has started a large amount of games this year and is a 1-17 regular. We must keep if we can.

This. I've said all along that as a pair they aren't big enough.

Agree but I also think Hansen for all his fine defensive qualities offer little in attack, he rarely makes a break or even draws defenders to slip a pass.



Pettybourne next year may offer something a little different (assuming he plays at 2nd row) because it is needed at present



[size=85or say it quietly perhaps put Gelling in as an attacking 2nd row[/size

Defensively Hansen is second to none and worth his weight in gold. In attack he's very limited. In fact he's only got one move - cutting back inside. It's very predictable and means the ball generally has to bypass Hansen just to ensure it reaches the backs.
