Well personally I haven't been so excited to watch a player at the DW since Sam Tomkins. I can only wish him well, but will be gutted to see him go. We can get another decent winger, but special players like that don't come along too often.

Him and Field are the closest to that level of excitement/anticipation we’ve had since Tomkins without a doubt. To have both has been brilliant to watch. I don’t think I’ve as many moments in one season were you just go ‘wow’ when watching a team.

When I said a French type player above, I mean in terms of a player that could play on the wing but also allow us cover for Field at fullback and the option to move Field up to 6 when needed. Getting a player ad good as French will be nigh on impossible.

Rumours in Australia that French is being hotly pursued by Newcastle Knights.

So that’s KPP & French they might get….by my reckoning they will owe us about 6 more George Carmonts!

Honestly, Newcastle (Ponga apart) are so poor, they are a pain to watch.They certainly haven't got anyone of the class of Carmont available.

Gagai, yeah. Good Origin player. Best is massively over-hyped for me, there are plenty of better centres in the NRL.

We need to sign a winger with pace, would love to keep French but he wont be fullback with Jai around so if he goes to NRL so be it

I though it was common knowledge wigan were not offering bibby a contract like 4 months ago?
