If Maguire fancied having a crack at signing Widdop then i'd be made up because he must know alot about him and his potential but as for any of us calling for him to be signed it means very little. I'd guess not one of us on here knows anything more then what was written about him in the one piece i've seen on the internet and thats not much to go on.
I hope for Englands sake that he's as good as that article made out and that he really can make it bigtime in the NRL.

Not seen anything about this - when was it? |

We keep talking about bringing the Farrells back to Wigan, but I'm not sure it would be that big a thing for us.
Andy is long finished as a player, and seems to be at the very start of whatever coaching career he may have; I'm surprised to hear that he's got a job like this, given how little experience he has. I'd also cast doubt on the view that his mere presence would be inspirational. I don't think the likes of Faz and Robinson, who the new generation mainly remember for taking the Union shilling, would have an nth of the respect that the likes of Radlinsk and Wane have.
Owen would be the main reason for bringing the Farrells back north, but even he by now will have got into lots of bad Rugby Union habits. I'm not sure he'd be anything like as effective in League as if he'd stayed on and served his apprenticeship. Sure, I'd like to see him at Wigan, but would he really be worth breaking the bank for? I think Owen now falls into the bracket of those top Union stars who League used to sign all the time, but who we never sign any more because, with the salary cap, it's too much of a risk to pay them the necessary big money. |

A Leyther at work said he was speaking to somebody involved with Leigh and they're apparently taking a Tomkins' brother on loan.
If true, it's obviously going to be Logan.

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

Not bad news, any young player getting more game time at a higher level is good news.
Is the championship that much higher than the reserves league though? |

It was a small article in my father in laws paper over the weekend. I think it was the express although there's nothing on their website.
It says England don't want to lose him like they lost Edwards to Wales so they're looking after him early. |

Dan Sarginson: "This is a fantastic opportunity for me to join the biggest name in the competition" 18/10/2013
Tony Clubb: "This is a new exciting chapter of my life signing for Wigan and I couldn't be happier" 18/10/2013
Romain Navarrete: “I’m very happy to have signed for Wigan Warriors. As soon I knew that Wigan were interested, they were the only team that I wanted to sign for. To me, Wigan is the biggest Club in Rugby League and it will be an honour to pull on the famous Cherry-and-White jersey next year. I look forward to working with Shaun Wane and the players at Wigan.”:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10172.jpg |

Thought 2 and 7 looked very useful.
Interesting in the first clip to see the amount of grapples, wrestling and flops. I thought the refs were hotter on that kind of thing over there? |

Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_20333.gif |

If we play him prop with Fielden we could have 2 big Jesses in the front row.
