Had you been eating cheese just before bedtime the night you dreamt that version of events up?

33718_1325770967.jpg Games as big as Grand Finals define individuals and clubs. Remember, we only rent these journeys. In my time I had Pat Richard's shirt. Ellery Hanley had Sean O'Loughlin's jersey. Sam Tomkins is wearing Radders' number one jersey. Andy Coley is wearing Shaun Wayne's jersey. You have to make a mark in these shirts before you hand it down to someone else. Hand it back. So be aware for 80 minutes that you are not only playing, but you are also writing history and creating legacy. How many people actually write history - not many? A big stage demands big players…..INSPIRE YOUR TEAM MATES.

Wally Lewis (the greatest player at the time) DID actually sign for us. I have a picture of the signing in the boardroom at Central Park with Mo somewhere. I cant recall why he never actually played.

| Mal Meninga - the story goes that Mo was down under sorting the Brett Kenny when Ray French who was also in oz contacted him.
Ray had been talking to Mal and needed some RFL registration papers to complete the deal.
Mo obliged and Ray was in the process of signing Mal up when he realized that the paperwork had Wigan RL stamped all over them.
Nice one Mo

I seem to remember him being rumoured with a big money switch over here once Farrell left.
Not sure if the rumour had any truth in it.

The Yorkshire Evening Post broke that story. If memory serves, they said the deal was all but done. But I never heard mention of it again - from any source.
Possibly, it was Mo trying to keep the fans onside after the catastrophic decision to release Faz.

20333_1393344959.gif 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 |

| Quote: Paul Youane "Had you been eating cheese just before bedtime the night you dreamt that version of events up?'"
That came from a player who was playing at the time and seen him around the training camp and spoke to him. Any better source than that?
A replacement for Lam I think, then we got Moran instead?
Maybe someone else can back me up?

Keith Senior but we went for Steve Renouf instead.
Nat Wood - Signed for us but after a medical found he had a broken bone in his neck he couldn't play but his wage still counted on the cap for the next couple of seasons without playing a game.
Lee Hopkins - In 2004/5/6? when London Broncos were going belly up we were in talks with him and he was readt to sign for us if they went belly up but they never, pity as he was a decent player IMO.'"
he's got a challenge cup winners medal for last year, more than any current pie player! (none of whom got a medal last year! )

| Nick fozzard signed, then mo regained power and canned the deal suggesting he wasn't wigan standard and that we only sign the best from now on.
Think we signed someone like tony mestrov or stuart lestor instead

You're going to feast on that solitary Challenge Cup win for the next ten years aren't you?
