I think ISC being next years kit supplier was pretty common knowledge, but if IL has gone to Australia to finalise that deal instead of finding us a stand off i'll cut his nuts off

Can't think of any stand offs of any quality that might be available? Even the NRL goes through periods when some positions are a bit weak - right now its good young halfbacks (both 6 and 7). Hence the ridiculous amounts being thrown at Chris Sandow - probably the most erratic player in any position in the NRL.

Taking his drinking antics away what do you think to Todd Carneys playing ability?

Chances of us getting him are very slim obviously due to the Visa issues.

Daly Cherry Evans and Shaun Johnson, both leading their sides to grand final berths.

Hopefully he's signed a stand-off, prop and centre, and maybe Des Hasler (Manly coach)?

Why do we need a prop?

Fielden
Mossop
Prescott
Lima

Hock + Lauaki both able to do a job there.

Gil Dudson + Ben Flower signing.

Dom Crosby can't be too far off.

No wonder we can't beat Australia. There's too many playin' over here. Overseas signings mark failure in the youth set up in my opinion. I'd love to see an all British Wigan 13 again like the one that beat Manly. Ideally I'd love to see an all Wiganer Wigan 13 (we can but dream).

Foran looks quality as well, looking forward to the game I think the Warriors will give Manly more of a game than Melbourne would have done. I would love to see the aussie press in meltdown if the Warriors win it

There's no doubting his playing ability.

The sad thing is I don't think you can his drinking antics away.

Yawn. Thats never going to happen.

As long as he brings a top centre back it will have been a worthwhile trip.

Wiggy hemmings mentioned, that IL will discuss 2012 business once all the business of 2011 is completed so read into that what you will

Lets start big rumours then, Benji Marshall and Greg Inglis will both sign 5 year deals for Wigan, and will be paid in Rupees and subsidised by Simon Moran

His point is pretty silly, it's like saying he would rather have Joe Mellor than Benji Marshall.

The aussies can teach the youngsters in our youth setup how to do things. I guarantee Sam Tomkins wouldn't be as far along in his development if he hadnt have had Trent Barrett to learn from in training and look at how important the aussies can be. They give you something fresh in your team. Look at how Finch is now hes had time to gel with the team. Hes throwing passes that the opposition never see coming and those lead to tries. I think its a ridiculous statement that the English game would be any better without Aussies and Kiwis.
