| Quote: Cronus "I understand you're outraged by Wigan's alleged overseas fixation, but you're clutching at straws if you're trying to count Hansen as a true overseas player. I'm not sure when his family moved to the UK but this is a lad who went to Moorside High School in Swinton from 1997-2002, played for Folly Lane (also in Swinton) as a kid, joined Wigan's Junior Academy in at least 2001 or 02 and made his debut for the First Team in 2004.'"
Is that Swinton in Wellington NZ? or the Swinton in Samoa?? I get mixed up. |

Born in Auckland, played his first rugby in NZ and has represented NZ.
Sounds like a Kiwi to me  |

That's shocking tbh. Considering the amount of criticism we got in the past, and how much Crusaders and Catalans get, why shouldn't Wigan receive any?

Jesus h christ.
Hansen is not an overseas player, this is bordering on racism! If any black player decides to represent Jamaica in the WC qualifiers despite growing up in the UK all their life will that make them an overseas player? Hansen chose to represent Samoa, big deal, he's as homegrown as the rules get.
Leuleui i'd agree with being off quota too, if some kid wants to move here at 18 and work here all his life then thats fine, if he wanted he could represent England and would still have qualified for u20s by years.

Hansen clearly isnt an overseas players. It would be a nonsense to pretend he is.
