Well he didn’t set the NRL alight and ended up loaned out, and the Roosters don’t want him.

Gildart is too small to play centre in the NRL, and should never have gone there.

That was exactly what I thought when it broke he was going.
He’s a stone underweight for me

It’s not necessarily an indication that he’s not good enough though. Hardaker looked like a rag doll over there and came back and is still effective.

Nobody will know him better than Wane though, so if he’s not being considered back at Wigan, he & Peet must see King as being better/better value for money.

There are probably a lot of examples, but I can’t recall Wigan letting go of many players and them going on to regret it.

I take exception with these signings, if true. Wigan almost always have a “first refusal” option for those that go to the NRL, so either they don’t want him (red flag, if they have taken King) or we have paid enough to make the club attractive.


Wigan have their centres sorted for next year in King and Wardle.

I really don’t see Gildart returning to SL.

I’m sure he has signed for The Dolphins for 23 just prior to going on loan to the Roosters.

Hock discipline, Tomkins cost, and Hardaker if you consider banning as going away.
Whereas I can’t think of any other players other than that of Wigan.

Sean Long, and to a lesser extent, Kevin Brown

It seems that almost all of those of Wigan or at least Wiganers, in contrast the Barbs post.

Long is a good shout, missed out on a genuine player there.

Hardaker when he left Wigan was third choice in his best position, so not sure on that one. Hock, well his career went the way we thought it would. Tomkins is 50/50, not sure who drove the move, but he had continued at a similar standard, but his body is slowly giving up on him.

Brown, good player but I’m not sure Wigan would have been too upset watching his career unfold.

Tomkins is a sign of true class. When he left Wigan and his speed was on the decline, I thought he'd end up as an average full-back plodding along on big money. However, he's shown he has got the brains and leadership to make a big difference when he's in the 13. I guess that's partly due to his Wigan RL education, they seem to breed good leaders through that system.

I think our starting No. 6 will be Ratchford, sadly.
