Wests Tigers are out to sign Wigan Warriors centre Oliver Gildart.
The Tigers are on the hunt for a centre after the recent departures of Moses Suili and Taane Milne.
According to The Sun, the NRL side has been monitoring English outside back Gildart.
A Wigan junior, Gildart has crossed for 34 tries in 63 first-grade appearances.
The 21-year-old, who is off-contract at the end of this year, is considering one of the best young talents in Super League.
Gildart was eligible to play for Italy at last year's World Cup, but was unable to play in the tournament after papework issues meant his Italian passport did not arrive in time.
The outside back has spoken publicly about his dream of playing in the NRL.

I just watched that press conference with Barrett and Evans. Interesting that Barrett cut off Evans when he was answering the question about Hastings. Barrett referred to the matter as "bruised egos" (plural). Evans' eyes betrayed his thoughts.
Interestingly, it seems the players from Blacktown can play with him as he has been relegated for the remainder of the year.
Just an observation but when a large percentage of the salary cap is taken up by a few players and they are not putting in, fingers will be pointed by players on lesser contracts (and rightly so).

Yep, pretty interesting presser. But do you think DCE isn’t worth the dough? I wouldn’t say he’s underperforming at all. He’s a freak. I’d pay him 800k a year so I guess a mill is a little too much. Fingers can be pointed at Fulton and whoever agreed to pay Taupau, Lussick and Korisau overs.

I ask why DCE hasn't played more SOO? Talent is one issue, personality may be another?
The uneven distribution of the salary cap no matter how well intended has the potential to create dissention in dressing rooms.
The two brothers are on big salaries as well and watch the highlights of the Manly v Souths game when Hastings scored the only try for Manly. You can see the elder brother brush Hastings.

Fair question about SOO. There's a lot of competition for those positions though and I reckon DCE was thrown in a little early, not to mention in a role he hadn't played much in dummy half / utility (halves and dummy half are very different positions imo but that's another thread).
I'd understand attitude being an issue though. He had a lot given to him very quickly, whether fair or not and that must have effected him. His decision regarding the Gold Coast said a lot about the guy too.
I also think Barrett has been given too much to do or perhaps isn't sharing his responsibilities as well as he could. Manly have a few players with questionable pasts on their books and it seems Barrett is solely responsible for managing these guys.
We're seeing at the Roosters how being top loaded with contracts affects depth; you have to get those lower tier contracts right and pray to the injury gods too. I actually think Manly's depth is okay talent wise but they're relying too much on young players. Our club and the Raiders before that were case studies in why that is an ineffective strategy in rugby league.

There has been trend that has followed DCE for the last 3-4 years, not many positive headlines are printed about him and the position he left the titans in when he turncoated on the deal was unprofessional.
He’s not in the good books with the manly club either I believe.
If I was manly I’d punt both DCE and Hastings.

Agree, after Cronulla re-signed Holmes (as a fullback) I couldn’t believe that they would sign Dugan (who wanted fullback money) then swap Maloney for Moylan (who they play at fullback).
Clubs do get themselves into a pickle trying to pander to all the prima donnas these days.
