If I recall correctly I'm sure he was pictured on the front of the evening post with a pie when he 'signed'???

Quote: Briggsy82 "If I recall correctly I'm sure he was pictured on the front of the evening post with a pie when he 'signed'???'"


I don't remember the pic, but Sailor definitely signed for Wigan. That was pre-salary cap, and Mike Nolan, who was the first Wigan chairman brought in by Dave Whelan, apparently made him an astonishing offer, which Sailor's agent said it would be madness to refuse. Sailor was then put under massive pressure back home to stay with the Brisbane. He finally succumbed, insisting that money wasn't as big a motivator as the loyalty he felt to his Bronco teammates. A year later - or something like that - he told RL (and presumably his Bronco teammates) to stuff it and went to RU.

Despite what some may think, Gasnier was also a nearly done-deal. How Mo thought he could fit Gas under the salary cap, I don't know, but apparently it was another amazing offer, which almost swayed the blonde bombshell. Not quite sure why that one didn't work out, but it could have been that Gas's agent had got wind of the even bigger package that RU were preparing for him.

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery....... I will look to the moment, and miraculously, the future will take care of itself. Radio 5 Live, Sat, April 14th, 2007,...Dave Whelan, "In Wigan, rugby will always be king" 'I was certain, positive, convinced, and yet..........unsure' 'It's only rock 'n' roll, but I like it' Worry will not prevent destiny from unfolding.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3632.jpg

Who's pie was it, Greenhalghs, Hampsons, Waterfields, Pooles ?, that could have been the reason he did'nt come, wrong pie choice, a basic error.
