Webb could be a good signing and the enforcer we need.
Sam T has only just got into his first season and the thugs and cheap shot merchants are already having a go. They could well be put off if Webb was in the team and he could be the protection policy for Sam and the other young players we will be bringing through in the next two years or so.
Not many seemed to try it on with our young kids when Pongia & Craig Smith were in the squad.
As for top class props, that sort of money will only be available when Fielden & Feka are OOC and IL can re-negotiate or replace.
The UK Border & Imm may have relaxed their view on visas now they have had their pound of flesh from Rugby League.

| Quote: jonh "According to a poster on another forum who lives in NZ there weekly rugby league publication states we are signing Webb this week. Hope it is true but just cannot see it advancing beyond the visa issues.
Wonder if the Antipodean cousin Dave "Nosey" Parker is behind the article.'" Webb pleaded guilty and got a 6 month driving ban and a $750 fine. |

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

I don't know. The army of Joel Tomkins, Fielden, Lockers, and pretty much the rest of the forwards running over seems to do the trick when anything happens. |

We don't need another Hock 
People should also come around to the fact we are not signing someone for next year.
Has anyone thought though that with Flanagan off to wests we should try and get one of their players to come here? |

| Quote: jonh "As far as i know his only potential conviction is a drink drive charge that was held against him that i think he is contesting. He was done the day after his wedding driving back to help clean the venue.
Do not think he has any other convictions against his name.
As far as i had been told the visa problem was the issue that prevented him signing, but according at the other poster it has made the weekly rugby press in Australia that he has signed.
Personally doubt this to be true because of the visa situation and also down to the fact the Cowboys have already lost Tronc.'"
I hope what you have heard/read is true. Webb is the exact type of player Wigan need to be targeting. |

Not claiming any inside knowledge, just repeating what has apparently been written in the Aussie version of League Express, given his conviction and the current visa situation i would say him coming to SL is highly unlikely. |

I know mate, just hope it isn't an Aussie journo doing the usual 'Wigan are interested and he has signed' rumour. |

Well obviously Ellis would be a dream but I mean one of their young players in the same position would be great.
I hope league freak does not read this, he would vomit at the thought of the super league stopping the development of a younger player.

The deal was done weeks ago, we can't go back and change it really. |

He'll be too busy seeking pyschiatric help after the cricket result.
Either that, or he's looking for the same hypnotist who managed to convince him that all those WCC results didn't happen. |

It's not about changing the deal but we now have space for a player of a similar wage so maybe a young promising player from aus would be the way to go. |
