very well deserved and a good long contract too.

The story is now on the Saints website.

Great news. It sounds like the club have renegotiated his deal as he still had two years left on his old contract. I'm glad he has been given this reward as he worked really hard in 2011.

Good stuff.

Great news he deserves it.

I think some of the other youngsters need a contract upgrade but maybe not as much as JLo.

Great news to have another young english half back tied down. Very curious to see how he goes and if he has the famed "2nd season syndrome" so many breakout younger players have. I hope with Hohaia (sp) signing he doesnt see notably less gametime.

Lance is 6 and JL is 7

Good news.

I hope you will all write to Ian Lenegan to thank him for his initiative that has helped you do this.

Surely you mean the RFL Rogues? Wigan don't make up the rules as they go along do they?



It was an RFLs idea, Wigan were just the first to take care advantage of it (and announce it) (and know about it)

It was an idea put to the RFL by Lenagan.

Are you attempting to derail a thread again Rogues?

What enabled us to do this was (a) we have just lost some players commanding big salaries, and (b) we declared some time ago that we had not spent up to the cap for 2012.

Nothing whatsoever to do with Wigan. So go away.

We had room for his increase anyway without the extra 100k. Nice try though.
