[quote="Mark"]Great game of rugby league. Fantastic atmosphere, Wigan were breathtaking and dominant in all areas for the first 25 minutes, coupled with us making alot of dumb mistakes,then fortunately they brought McIlorum on which helped us back into the game. I thought some of the tries we scored to get us within two we're out of this world stuff. Towards the end we had to force it a little and we had a few things go wrong, i.e Monas kick on the first for King and Solomona going off who was causing havoc. Wigan were clinical in their eventual execution of us. Proud of Wire today and gave us a little glimpse to the future. Silverwood was awful as per, but I expect no less. Tomkins is a world class player and by far the best english player in SL. Wigan are a champion side and would be a worthy winner of taking our title as challenge cup. Good luck over the next month and a bit.[/quote]

I don’t have any problem with potentially short term signing (has it mentioned how long the deal is anywhere?).
Sounds decent by all accounts and reliable without bleeding us financially dry. Best of all it FINALLY looks like we have a year where we don’t have to release all out up and coming players to get some depth in the squad! Woo hoo!!!
Good luck George!!!

We haven't seen a good attacking centre at Wigan for a good few years.
Bring back gene miles
I think he will go ok for us and looking forward to see how he goes on

Solid defender, quite quick with a very good fend. But he certainly wouldn't get into any of the top teams in SL although that has to be expected with the financial difficulties we have.
The contract is for 2 years which possibly could be 1 year too many. But I'm guessing he needed at least that length of contract for him to agree to the deal. He's centre/wing so he will at least have utility value now and in the future.
