Wigan coach Shaun Wane says Wakefield forward Taulima Tautai will be the Warriors’ only signing for 2015.
Centre Darrell Goulding (Hull KR) and Blake Green (Melbourne Storm) are both on the way out at the end of the season, but Wane believes he has enough internal resources to provide sufficient cover.
“I’m happy with Tautai and I’m happy that Dom Crosby is going to be another 12 months on and all the other players are going to be a bit more mature,” Wane said.
“We’re really young, we just need to be patient with our team. It’s exciting. We’re in fantastic shape as a club.
“I’m a big believer of building for the future. We’re the most successful team since 2010 when me and Madge (Michael Maguire) joined and we’ve still got a really, really young team which is going to be good for years to come.
“I get so many negative remarks sent to me about playing so many kids but people need to understand where we’re at.
“We’re in good shape. If we win three games we’re top of the league and we’ve probably had the worst injury run out of every Super League team.
“We’ve had 38 players training this year but, when it comes to the real business end of the season, I have to be a little bit more ruthless. I have a select group of players and it’s a bit more defined. The young kids understand that they are not going to be in every session now.”
