Wigan set their sights on Super League halfback

Wigan are said to be in the hunt for Wakefield Trinity halfback Jacob Miller, according to Wigan Today.

With the likes of Jackson Hastings and Oliver Gildart departing, the Warriors have room on the salary cap to strengthen their squad for 2022, with Trinity’s Miller on the top of their shopping list.

Wigan are said to be chasing two halfbacks, with the 29-year-old one of them though he is understood to be under contract with the West Yorkshire club in 2022.

The Warriors have already signed NRL duo Kaide Ellis and Patrick Mago for next season, with Iain Thornley and London Broncos winger Abbas Miski also heading to the DW Stadium.

It’s going to be an uncertain time at Wigan at the end of the year with head coach Adrian Lam departing, whilst there is still uncertainty over whether captain Thomas Leuluai, 36 – who is sidelined until the end of the season – will play on or retire to take up a coaching role under the returning Shaun Wane.
