Quote: Saddened! "I don't think there's much strategy to what Wigan are doing. It's availability and finance that is driving it. You won't sign the star imports as you aren't willing to pay them enough, they'll continue to go to Warrington, Catalans and Leeds. Whilst it's good for Wigan and SL that Field is staying, you've got to be cynical and wonder if there is an NRL release clause in there. It's either that or he's had a firm no from them and has given up, fullback is one of the most oversubscribed positions in the NRL at the moment, most clubs seem to have a worldie or an up and coming star.'"
It most certainly is a strategy that Wigan are employing.
We signed George Burgess and Bateman from the NRL - the finances are clearly there.
Also offered George Williams the biggest contract the club had ever offered.
The finances are there, there is clearly a strategy.
