They say its two players who played last week at finals day. One for Featherstone and on for Swinton.

Re: More new signings : Fri Oct 09, 2015 9:09 am  

So Alex Foster is the first announcement and his return, next one to be announced at 2pm.

Possibly not but competition for places is all important

The one area we have little if any competition is half back and this is where we are weakest, least experienced, and as shown last week, a decent/experienced half wins you games at this (and probably every) level.

I thought Foster was the best of the Leeds loan signings by a considerable distance. Seemed to have a good attitude.

the other player is andy ackers from swinton

I don't know much about Andy Ackers in his time at Swinton, just know he is one of the many young players Wigan have produced.
