| Quote: Cruncher "The same philosophy applies with Unsworth.
His record at that level is pretty good, but someone at Wigan has decided that he isn't worth what Sale are offering him. He won't be the first coach to have left since the new regime came in, and he won't be the last. It may prove to be a mistake (either for him or for us), or it may not. We have to trust in Lenagan and Maguire.'"
Reading that article just came on the back of me being told something (not from a Saints fan btw) that may indicate that you aren't as wealthy a club as some of your fans like to think you are, it just piqued my interest (and I thought I'd throw a bone out with that initial comment abut trouble at t'mill  ).
It's just one of those things, that is just made more likely with Mick Hogans change of jobs. I think Harlequins improving youth system is a legacy of Leneghan's time there, so it's not as if you've got an owner that is likely to let that area slip at all. |

Think he's a friend to those players he represents - which is as it should be. Agents shouldn't lean to any club surely.
And.....good luck to Thornley I hope he does well as I would if he signed for anyone! |

Sports agents are only interested in one person. |

| Quote: Catalancs "People saying that this is just the same as when league took players from union but in reverse are slightly wrong I think.
I can't see any rugby league clubs ostracising players for changing codes, banning them from club events, blacklisting them from party and function invite lists, remoiving their names from club records or scratching out their faces on pictures/photos in the clubhouse.'"
 This statement above just proves what RL had to put up with for 100 years. |

No-one's saying they should, but some Wigan fans I know are always glad to see Happy Frank at the DW Stadium. My argument is that they shouldn't be.
He's not some old hero returning because he has fond memories of the place. Where Endacott is concerned, those days are long gone. |

ahhh get you now. Yeh he's there to get the best deal he can for those who hire him (otherwise his money goes down as he'll be on a percentage). That's his role and I'm sure he makes sure he does it well otherwise the players would be sacking him. |

He won't have that problem for long, because Mick Hogan is going to find them 15,000 new fans - all from Wigan - when they play their 'exhibition game' at the Reebok. |

I actually think they'll go close to selling it out. I'd expect a minimum 20k on for the game. |
