Quote: Hockmonster "Seriously though, why waste a transfer fee on an average Aussie? if you buy young English talent like Warrington (Stefan Ratchford, Atkins, Myler etc) then at least you get some resale value. Poor business from Wigan.'"
I agree, Wire have made a great move in signing up 3 of the - potentially - best 1/2 back British talent (OBrien being the 3rd) at a time when the imports have dried up. A move which will keep them up at the top when Briers Morley Hodgson etc call it a day.
Of course it helps when your salary cap is on the flexible side.
