Quote: NickyKiss "The salary cap raising in Australia is really going to cut back superleague clubs options over here in terms of bringing top NRL players over so teams will do 2 things. One is panic and bring in second raters and the other is bring through their own young players from the u20's side.'"

The third option is to recruit young RU players. This was mooted by IFL at this weeks press conference and earlier on this season. In fact I believe our chairman is actively seaking some form of salary cap dispensation for signing young RU players from the RFL.

Given that we could potentially be employing a Welsh RU legend and the Welsh National RL coach, it would seem to me IFL has a plan to source and nurture this talent in the South of Wales.

Quote: martinbuckley "So its ok for you to work in Reading, but its not ok in your view for a Wigan-born rugby player to work elsewhere for better money.'"

It would be OK for him to work in Reading if he had not signed up to work in Wigan for 5 years beforehand.

Quote: Kernel "Im absolutely fuming about JT possibly turning his back on his hometown team like judas, but thats nothing Wigan can control. A very sad day but if they dont want to play for Wigan they can get stuffed as far as im concerned.

Would like to see us sign another prop and DEFINITELY a centre.'"

Weren't the Tomkins brothers born in Milton keynes and raised in Appleton, Warrington ?

Quote: LovesToSpooge "We'll probably attract those players who are struggling in RU because they don't have the required body shape. I certainly won't be complaining if we uncover a James Graham of our own, which there's every reasonable chance of, seeing as someone of his shape isn't suited to RU in the slightest.

I'd agree the threequarters would be very difficult to poach. But then again you never know. Those two twins at Warrington chose RL over RU because they enjoyed the game more. There's nothing to say that can't and won't happen again.'"

If the evans boys become as good as we all hope then i am not optimistic about keeping them long term. Wales RU will more than likely come sniffing for them. I would love to be wrong though.

Quote: Wigan28/Leeds18 Andy "So not only do we have a player that's going to wind-up the Dire and Whino fans (well until he decides to join his brother), we have someone on the coaching staff as well. Happy days.
It's a nice thought. However, Harris's single-handed successful torpedo-ing of Bradford has wiped his slate clean for most Leeds fans. In fact, in a recent "Leeds Dream Team" type thread he was a pick of many.

Dunno whether Wire fans have mellowed though.
