No idea on his contract situation but Murdoch-Masilla is looking a real handful this year from what I've seen although admittedly that is mostly highlights.

Signed a new deal about 2 weeks ago.

Type of player we need though

He can be a bit of a penalty machine at times and given our discipline this season I am not sure that would be good.

How long is Elloitt Whitehead contracted for in the NRL??

Still got this and next year I believe. He's very happy though and has talked about staying in Australia for longer

He seemed to cut back on the dirt and thuggery towards the end of last season and has become as much better player for it. Unless there are reasons we don't know about, which may be as simple as cost, then I'd be surprised if Wigan got rid as he's been better than a lot of their recent overseas players.

Weird post. He's literally the least dirty forward we've ever had. Most of his penalties were holding down/interference. He's been sensational for the last 12+ months, second to Bateman as our best forward. We would miss him a lot if he was to leave.

Well I suppose 11 cases brought up for the disciplinary review committee, 2 of which ended up with suspensions for grubby cannonball tackles in 2016 is sparklingly clean behaviour by Wigan's dirty standards. By any other team lacking Wigan's dedication to cheating then it is viewed differently. But he did indeed clean his act up at the end of last season and was a much better player.

James Graham?

No chance of Graham on about 400k plus in the NRL, doubt that any SL club would pay that for one player even if he was a marquee player, pretty sure Pearson won't.

Think we can forget about any top NRL players coming unless it's the end of their career.
