Cross code match, really?'"
AAARRRGGGHH!! At least let Lenegan explain it first, the guy hasn't let us down yet has he, there will obviously be benefits from this or he wouldn't have done the deal would he. Stop panicking, it was only announced 10 fecking minutes ago!!!! |

I agree that we must see some benefit from this deal, BUT I am sure they will benefit more unfortunatly.
I do fail to see what we can learn from a club which gets 6k gates and robs players from other sports. I am sure IL has something up his sleeve though.
Can't see the benefit of a cross code match, they have proved pointless in the past. The only plus I can see is raising the profile of RL and Wigan especially. Saracens have had games at Wembley in the past, I just hope both clubs go to town on this idea and move it there. I reckon it could get a higher gate than the England game. RU fans will buy tickets by the bucket full for games like this and we would take a few. It would be great for our profile and theirs.

Absolutely right. Why don't you all just wait for an announcement from your own Chairman?

If you think we will get any players in their peak years you're in dream land, we will either get potential that we will develop and they will go back to RU or we will get players past their peak |

If Lenagan thinks this deal will benefit Wigan, then that's good enough for me.
Nice to see the new deal for Sam.

The cross code match will be like an audition, the entire team will be playing out of their skin looking for a big money RU contract.

Correct. IL's goal through this deal is to create a deal in RU for every young Wigan player who comes through our youth system. Nothing positive at all will come from it.
We will also be moving half of our home games to Watfords ground and letting Saracens keep the money. Rename ourselves as Saracens North RL to help build their brand. We will update them on any young talent coming through at St Pats and invite them to cherry pick whoever they want.... (insert anything else which will help them and not us). |

Don't worry about it, Nigel Wood's master plan of holding everyone back so that badly supported, weak clubs like Wakefield can catch up is going to work soon, and then once we have a completely "even competition" League will reign supine, oops, I mean supreme.
Supine: Marked by or showing lethargy, passivity, or blameworthy indifference
