Quote: Toulouse for super L "
Quote: Toulouse for super L "
In the past Wigan have been negligent with some of our home-grown players. The club under Maurice/Whelan during the Super League era was an utter shambles. Thankfully we've seen that turnaround and we've got a coach who is not afraid to blood some young lads - we've also taken advantage of the dual registration system too.

Look we have too many overseas players. I want to see that number come down. Ben Cross is a short-term signing in a position we need to strengthen. Both Cross and Hoffman will leave next season for certain. That leaves Amos Roberts, George Carmont, Pat Richards, Brett Finch, Jeff Lima and Thomas Leuluai. That's 6 overseas players. The same as most clubs - ideally I would like to see the number stay at five and from next year with Amos Roberts, George Carmont and possibly Finch/Leuluai set to leave I think we'll achieve that.'"


Its good that you admit there is a problem at Wigan with the number of overseas players rather than being in denial like most Wigan fans. You say when Cross and Hoffman leave at the end of the season that will leave 6 overseas players (if were not counting Hansen but lets not get back onto that). This is presuming Wigan dont sign 2 overseas players to replace these, I suspect they will, but I suppose we will just have to wait and see.'"

yet, you continue this debate using the term 'overseas' player. which as has already been pointed out is redundant given that place of birth and/or parentage is irrelevant regarding the classification of a player as 'fed trained' 'non fed trained etc'. 'Overseas' has no application in that classification process.
what about toulouse then? how many 'overseas' players have they gone through in recent years? and I include those who have been given french passports but are clearly not 'french'.

Are you seriously using a spurious rumour from the s*n to try and prove a point about Wigan and overseas players?

That's almost unspeakably stupid.
