I dont like the idea of some sort of partnership with a Rugby Union club. Saracans know that Wigan produce talented kids if they can possibly have 1st look and 1st choice then they will sign up. I dont see how Wigan benefit from this.

There could, but I'm not sure where. Yesterday Sarries had a pack of 7 elderly South Africans and one elderly Englishman. The only back I would look at is Farrell and yesterday he play centre with 30 year old Charlie Hodgson at 10. The partnership must have some financial gain for Wigan. I suspect that you will get an announcement tomorrow from IL.

Why should we get players from the other code we are challenge cup holders and was nearly double champions and i dont see how WRLFC can benifit from this deal i dont want to see a sarecen player wearing our shirt.

What not even Owen

I doubt first choice Saracens players would be coming to Wigan and who know what Owen would be like back in League anyway.

I hope it happens because I reckon we will rip them a new one. It would be a big positive for the sport if a rugby league team demolished a union one imo.

How would it? The media is dominated by Union types and it would barely raise an eyelid. Anyway we would not demolish Saracens at Union and depending how they chose to play we would barely touch the ball. All it would prove is that they are better at Union and we are better at League. It would be a money making scheme with little purpose and I hope that Wigan fans would boycott such an event.

I'm going with the wait & see gang on this one. What if Saracens have a halfback or centre who is more suited to league or a running strong backrow forward that isn't 6'6" tall.

Before completely dismissing the idea lets have a little look. I admit to being a bit perplexed but is it another way of getting the Wigan brand into London & RU?

I disagree. They would market it big style imo and get it on sky and lets rip them a new one live on sky. We may get some extra people watching/playing rugby league off the back of it. If we make money from it too whats bad about that?

It's been done before, with Bath in the mid-90's. Nobody took any notice then so I don't see why they would now
