My worth may not be calculated in rubies and diamonds, BUT, there is one thing I thank the Lord and the little baby Jesus for.......

.....I'M NOT FROM WIGAN

I am truly blessed. Hallelujah, brother.

On reflection I was disappointed that we have lost the excitable little man Sandow.
But I've always thought Brown is a very clever distributor and he'll fit in fine. Jonathon Davies always waxes lyrical about the skills of Kevin Brown ... and he does know his back play. I think we have done well.
I really couldn't give a toss about the money we've paid ... I don't think we are short of money.

Disappointed about Sandow but OK with Brown, and probably the best available out there.
Take your point about the fee, but I do want us to have a sustainable business model and NOT rely on a 'sugar daddy'.
If we're funding purchases out of real profit then that's fine for me.
I like our board to use there 'business acumen' and 'rugby league nouse' rather than their wallets.

so Brown is a little older....he might do a job for us. Might.

Playing in two big finals must have helped us with our finances.

And the odd player's too.

How much did we actually pay for him?

£250k, hence disclosed fee. Don't want to look like we have had our pants pulled down. Which, for that fee, for a player who is good, but wont play a full season,we clearly have!!

We offered £400k for Williams by all accounts.....

I'd be surprised if we paid that much for Brown. We'll probably see in the accounts released in July 2018 if you can wait that long!

I'm not normally one for spreading unsubstantiated 'facts' but I was told £175k for Brown which I thought was a bit dear.

....and nothing but a nod and a wink for Williams.

What is extremely coincidental, is that when we've raided these middle to struggling clubs for their special one....
That team then ends up being financially sound and off the back if that, have a very good following season...more often bettering ourselves!?

Go on then, I'm not saying you are mistaken but please give an example or three

Hull last year? They won the Challenge Cup, although we won the LLS and got to the Grand Final.

I could be tongue in cheek and say St Helens when we signed Martin Gleeson

Well, Wakey certainly wasn't one of them
