Looks like a Hardaker/Field/Smith axis for 2020. If Gildart and Burgess both go in addition to French and Hastings I doubt we're in a position to win trophies. As bizarre as it sounds, I still think we have to consider whether this actually matters until we get through this pandemic. We will still have a competent side (I'm sure we will recruit a little bit more) with an aggressive forward pack and we'll be competitive. I'm far more concerned about the sport over the clubs ability to win trophies atm.
We certainly seem to be functioning in a strange unreal bubble at the moment, which is a world away from the near-normality the NRL has managed to reclaim for itself over a period of a couple of months, and which at present doesn't look as if it will have ended even by next summer never mind the start of next season. It's literally anyone's guess what financial state SL will be in by the time this thing finally ends.
So I can't help but agree ... optimistic discussions about Wigan's recruitment plans feel vaguely irrelevant at present.
