Get in!!

Here's hoping it's true.

Fantastic News if true!

Could that be one of the reasons that there is a fans forum next week?

Paaaaaaaaaaat

At the bottom it says they are linked with finch

Good work from IL if true.

Must've been a tempting offer to head back to Oz and the NRL.

Heres hoping. With all the possible player movement next year we need to retain our one true strike weapon.

Very happy about paaaat. But I'm p***** off that not only they took our coach there trying to take our players surly it's gonna make unrest between madge and IL if there poaching our players while madge is still Here

this is one of the big reasons i am dead against a coach saying he is going to another team at the end of the year and continuing to work at the club.
if they are going then they should just go,

We keep Pat, they take Finch.

Sounds fair

To be fair, that wouldn't prevent him staying in contact with players he'd want to take with him. But it would prevent him continuing to successfully coach Wigan for the remainder of 2011, which could be seen as shooting our own foot off.

Probably the richest and most on the up team in the NRL could you really blame him if he'd gone? Bloody glad he didn't mind!

Wasn't sale the main threat of taking Richards?

Great news for Wigan if he's signed a new two year deal as he's very important for you guys.

He's a very good player.

Sale were reported as interested, and the chance to play RU for Ireland might interest Richards. Then again the IRU look to their provincial teams to provide international players. Maybe a move to Munster, Leinster might tempt him?

I agree with what you say, Madge going now wouldnt stop him speaking to those players, and if the Richards story is true, it will perhaps show that we arent as vunerable as we think.

But it does leave an element of a sour taste in the mouth that it appears he is working on Souths for 2012 currently as well doesnt it?

If he is only trying to approach off contract players then thats fine with me.
