Goodbye all. It was nice knowing most of you.: |

| Quote: marshman "I think some people (Wakey fans it seems) are missing the point of that extra zero. He's not saying Westy or Shenny are worth £5m, he's asking what is the point in selling our top youngsters for a meager £500k? SL is supposed to be turning a corner with emphasis on home grown kids. To then sell your best kids would be plain daft, especially if we aren't to get that much of a gain from it. £500k would get us another couple of top players or help pay the wages of what we already have, but since you'd be losing a player to start with you're hardly in front. £5m would be a large chunk towards the stadium and future of the club. So he's saying why bother losing our best kids for little gain, especially when us fans are keen as mustard to keep them and it seems the players want to play for us? The only way we should be tempted to lose our best young players is if the offer is crazy money, say £5m.
You could look at it another way. If we can keep producing kids that are worth say £500k and sell them on we'd be set up for life off the cash. But better still, if we could keep producing top kids worth £500k but don't sell them we'd be even better set up for life because we'd have a team full of stars. And that's what we should all be aiming for. Back to that £5m tag, it would be only worth losing your top kids if the price was really worth it.'"

I can't remember the last time we got so much publicity from one person, (Dwain Chambers aside). He's in the Sun every other week when most other papers can't even be bothered to mention "rugby" and "league" in the same sentence. I think in one paper our coverage of the Wigan game said "and Wigan entertain Castleford". If it wasn't for Goldy we'd never be in the national papers. Obviously i do want more than just a news story of a player in my squad, but when you couple all that with his determination, (playing when he's bust for example) and skill i wouldn't sell him to anyone. We spotted his potential, we brought him over and no struggling team are going to buy their way out of trouble this time with one of our players!'"

Agree with every sentence . But this story grows and grows and im not to sure our club are been honest when they say no approach has been made, when it has . |

End of the day every player has a price. What happens when Saint Helens comes in with a cash offer for Brough? If its big enough I'm sure Wakey would sell him.'"
How did you manage to sneak Wakey into this?
Cheap shot.  |

The original post ackowledged that an extra zero just put into some context their worth to the club as opposed to reflecting their market value. That they will soon be two of the best players in GB/France is not out of the question . So what's to get real about.

I never said it was, there's certainly a question mark about weather they will be. |

One thing they are scientifically certain to never be is "weather" |

Looks a complete nothing statement from Matterson who clearly responded to a journalists question.
However, if there is something in it Wigan must be really desperate cos they'd have to ship out one of their current overseas quota stars to fit McGoldrick in (they had to wait for Carmont to get his Samoan passport and come off the overseas quota before signing Amos Roberts). That would entail the paying of compensation to the dismissed player as well as a sizeable transfer fee to Cas for McGoldrick himself.
