Fair point, however he's lived in Greater Manchester for 14 years now.

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.

Madonna lived in London for 10 years , didn't make her a Cockney

Quote: 21-12 "
Quote: 21-12 "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.'"


yea i can see what you're saying....Born in new zealand..... plays for samoa.

Blatantly not from overseas.'"

Hansen was 4 when his Dad Shane signed for Salford , it's watering down the impact of the argument if you class him as an overseas signing when all his RL development was with Salford Schools & Folly Lane

Hull KR let Shaun Briscoe go and offer Ben Galea a new contract. I await the outcry from RLFans contributors.

It'll come, but it'll be posted under 'Wigan trained youngster released to keep an old Aussie'.

Saddened ought to be along in a minute to do the honours, and have a go at Sam Tomkins in the process...
