Quote: Trainman "I think the biggest issue we are going to have is player drain. They will have a minimum wage of £70k and an average wage of £200k. Just looking at us they could probably double the wage of the likes of Burgess, Gelling, Manfredi, Bateman,& Farrell and still pay them less than their average wage.'"
On last season's form, they'd be lucky.
With the possible exceptions of Manfredi (if he ever plays again) and Bateman (though he's done little in the WC so far), none of those players are NRL standard.
That said ... if they play to the best of their ability, which as Wigan fans we are desperate to see, then it's a different matter.
It's a real Catch-22.
