Best of luck boys and thanks for the great memories.

The NRL sucks the BIGGEST at treating its long standing players with respect and dignity.

What do you get for loyalty and hard work at an NRL Club.......a one way ticket to ESL.......that's what  :x

The future looks bright for cherry n white  :lol:

BTW : I'm starting to dislike going to the Storm website,(or should that be the News Ltd propaganda spin site)  :evil:

CUT THE CRAP NEWS LTD !

Who have newspapers & electronic media a plenty to peddle your spin.
Try JUST once to do something decent for the people who REALLY care about this club.

Maybe the story in Rugby League week was right and Hoffamn will be back in a year, seeing it is only a one year deal (with an option for a second).  Would be good to if it happened.

Hoffman has only signed a one year contract with Wigan - so maybe the poster that said it was a get out of contract movement has merit.  That was what was implied on Foxtel tonight - a holding pattern.

I would be very happy to welcome him back in one year.

I guess this makes me a Wigan fan now.  Now if only I could actually see the games on TV.

I am really happy with these signings. Hoff has only signed a one year deal because he isn't sure if he wants to stay in England long (can't say i blame him) although i do think he'll return to storm if possible (don't worry, we'll look after them).

Madge has done an awesome job for us so far and with these signings things can only get better  :D

Also welcome to the family to the new Wigan fans among you, glad to have you  :D

That makes 3 of us then.

Goodluck to the boys, suprised about the length of Jeff's contract though.

Nah, its a one year deal with an option for a second year. He's never lived abroad so he doesn't want to commit to a loger contract. If he ejoys it then he'll take up his second year, if not he'll be back to Aus
