I suppose one hit every few years taking his info from internet boards isn't something to be that proud about.

why would he wanto leave a club where has a very good chance of picking up silverware to go to a club that has lost 5 finals in a row or to a club that ain't got a chance of anything, Wigan are THE club

Because he knows it will be his last big contract and he will want to make himself as financially secure as possible.

fair enough, but if he was going to do that then surely he would head back down under for a big payout rather than going to some small unsuccessful club living on their past glories

We should have the money available on the cap to match whatever Saints or Hull will be offering. I just worry about Lenegan's tight fisted approach and Wane's desire to have as many Wiganers in the team as possible.

Brett was asked if he had signed a new contract yet on Tues night at the Riversiders meeting, he said he expected it to be sorted within the next two weeks. He is loving it at Wigan and says the rest of the lads are terrific. I wouldnt be surprised if he doesnt become involved in the coaching side at Wigan later on.

Any news on his preferred volume of Weetabix?

IFL has done well so far and the team is going well under Waneys tutilage.

From a Saints perspective I can't see there being any truth in this. In order to sign Finch we would have to release one of Puletua, Soliola (only just singed new deal), Laffranchi, Perry or Hohaia earlier.

Laffranchi is in his first year and doing well, it wont be him, and I cant see a reason for Puletua to leave now.

The only possibilty would be if Hohaia was unhappy or homesick and wanted to go back.

But it is very very doubtful IMO.

Not arguing with that. I just wouldn't like to be in a position where Lenegan won't match another teams offer for Finch and Wane spots a chance to bring another Wiganer back and thinks Kevin Brown would be a suitable replacement. I'm hoping Finch will sign a new contract very soon. We can't really afford to lose him.

Lenagan won't break the bank but I'm sure he knows how important it is to keep him and I'm totally confident he'll get this deal done.

As for Wane I don't buy in to him wanting a team chocked full of Wiganers. I'm sure he'd love to have a 17 made up fully of Wigan born players 'if' they were good enough but he's not daft enough to think that's realistic at the moment. If he did Gelling wouldn't be in the side King or Russell would and Lauaki wouldn't be in the side Spencer or Crosby would be.

He signed four players in the off season made up of 2 kiwis and 2 welshmen.

Been told he wants the new Golden Syrup Weetabix, Wigan only prepared to go to Choc Chip. Deal's off!

but i like choc dip......surely if we throw in a jar of honey as well it might sweeten the deal

I'll back Lenegan on this. Unless he can get the syrup bix on a 3 for 2 'family favourite' deal he shouldn't be held to ransom by Finch's agent.
