The reliable Johnny Davidson from the League Express reckons it's a goer.

we might be the only credible option for him.... If he does come back to league....

He wont return to Wigan for the same reasons he left.
The Salford payday has gone
Saints spent all their money on cladding a few years ago
Leeds dont need him

Agreed, we are probably the best option for a quality winger who wants first team rugby without much competition. He'd be a good fit for us and hopefully he will think we are a good fit for him. Be a great signing for us.

Can't he just announce his retirement from RU. then come to us as a freebie ?

I wouldn't want to spend good money on a winger only to see him running around Vikky Park after being dropped following a few iffy performances.

Sale announced the signing of Marland Yarde. It would seem he will be 4th choice now at Sale. He might well come back to League instead of only playing in cup games for Sale.

With Sale, Yarde is a (safe-ish) gamble on a quality young international winger who became available mid-season (rare). He wouldn't, for example, have been a panic/replacement buy because Charnley said he wanted out.

However, having signed him, this leaves Sale with these wingers vying for game time (listed in rough pecking order):

Solomona
Yarde
McGuigan
Charnley
Odogwu

Odogwu is a young lad, but a number of fans rate him more than Charnley based on his appearances last season.

The first 3 are all internationals, so Sale would need cover during the Autumn internationals (although Yarde has been left out of the England squad).

I would say (just opinion), that Sale don't "need" to offload Charnley, he's not surplus in any way. I think they're quite happy with their depth of wing options, and happy to keep Josh. I think any decision to leave would rest solely with the lad himself.

But how many times does morleys_deckchair have to say he made it up before we agree he made it up?

Best rumour ever though this, if it comes off you deserve this month’s Rubber Duckie Prize for best post.

I know, but that's how most moves happen. Phone Josh and say Wire are interested. Phone Wire and say Josh is interested. Post on forums to create buzz. Like playing matchmaker in the school playground.

It's been 8 whole days without us announcing a new signing. Gotta pass the time somehow.

haha you're absolutely right.

He might as well make the move now, even if it was just made up. It makes perfect sense for everyone.

I've forced his hand, he has nowhere else left to turn.

Charnley is OUR

Really i am not allowed to say G Y P O

The "P” word is a racist term, often used to refer to gypsies or travellers and Roma do not like to be called “gypsy” as it is often used pejoratively in eastern Europe.

Safer to refer to members of the GRT community.

I don't think you can say (p) is racist?...it's not like a gypsie is a creed, just a choice of living style...offensive yes, so much why I enjoy winding up the saints fans.

P***y is not a racist term in the slightest. Mainly due to the fact it's not a race! Like how people say your being racist to muslims. Muslim/Islam isn't a race its a belief.
