Are you naive enough to believe that these players were told "we can only sign you if we get special dispensation for ST from the RFL"?
Quote: Jukesays "If theyd have signed these 5 players (I take it certain posters are delibarately choosing not to highlight the players leaving as to make it look like Wigan have signed 5 extra players from last year!) and then the rules hadn't been brought in and lost ST to Union then I'm sure you would have been saying how stupid Wigan were in signing them without securing their prize asset.'"
Au contraire. The fact players are leaving just further highlights what a farce this is.

You call it "a shrewd bit of business" - I prefer to call it "pulling the wool".

Your not fooling anyone'"
I don't intend to fool anyone. I'm merely pointing out that, once again, Wigan have took the RFL and the rest of SL for mugs.
