Quote: Cruncher "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.'"
Would they be lucky? My point was the NRL teams can now sign that level of player as a squad player, doubling their wage which would still put them on less than the average player in the NRL.
