Yeah it would have been a good serve for Melbourne if Wigan had of taken their spot.
It was a bit cheeky of Wigan to ask. How do you add a seventeenth team to the competition when the draw and the time table has been set already.
Still the important thing is they have sparked the discussion at NRL HQ and they have been muttering about expansion from the day the Tickets sold out.
