There's nothing sadder than saddened

Perhaps starting with Saddened! staging a dirty protest in his capacious underpants.

"We've looked around rugby league and there aren't really opportunities to get a centre of the right calibre to come to Wigan at this stage.

"We could go to Australia and get a middle-grade £100,000-plus-a-year centre but we don't want to do that.

"We would rather give young English players an opportunity. Darrell Goulding, for example, will get his opportunity again and Josh Charnley is another potential centre."

For years on these forums fans have called for the salary cap to be changed to allow concessions for those players from clubs' academies and should do more to keep our best players from Union and latterly the NRL.
Now the SL clubs have agreed amendments there are complaints due to the initiative coming from Wigan.
The SL club chairmen can't do right for doing wrong!

Makes me wonder why you chose to make it up then? Especially as you seemed to missed the most pertinent point about cost.

Hmmm....

he certainly sounds like it.

www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/new-d ... 5917084983 sounds like a nice lad.....he wasnt even drunk!!!!! just the type of player that a SL club should be signing to help benefit the English game.

So imagine your a coach/scout of a super league club and you see potential in a player and recommend/want to sign him for your club. You then find out that he got sacked from a previous club because he pooed all over a hotel room. Your telling me you wouldnt sign him just because he made a stupid mistake when he was 19 years old?

Anybody would think that the guy stabbed somebody FFS.

The good news is he can play for England within a couple of years if he's any good. Then Wigan can get an exemption for him as well.

I'd love to know how Wigan are "abusing the new cap rules" full stop. There's a free quota spot and room under the cap. A 20-year old Toyota Cup player won't be on a massive wedge!

You really are obsessed. If you look at the players we have lost and look who we have brought in its no wonder we could fit it all in even with Sams increase in salary.

Hoffman, Coley, JTomkins and Deacon will all have been within our top earners, not forgetting a certain Martin Gleeson who will also have been part of this group.

Then bringing in 3 players from Crusaders and then a centre who plays in the Toyota Cup or something along them lines.

I think you should concentrate on your team and the how excited youll be at playing Paul Wellens at full back all season again.

If you knew anything about rugby league you would know the Vulcans are the New Zealand Warriors 3rd grade side.

New Zealand Warriors (First grade)
Junior Warriors (Toyota Cup)
Auckland Vulcans (New South Wales Cup)

They are an official feeder club and are comprised of development juniors and players not deemed worthy of a place in the NRL club squad system.

If he'd been from the North West, It would be regarded as a triumph of scouting for young talent, on a low contract, low risk but high reward.

As he's from the Southern Hemisphere, he must be an average at best criminal who's on 48 Million a year, of which only £3.50 counts on the cap.
