Wrong. Wire noticed it as part of their post game review and asked the question. Saints got wind of it and decided to use it to their advantage. Wire, whilst querying how it happened, didn't want to play the game. It was too last min and a hiding to nothing.

Laughable to see Saints "celebrating" the win on social. It has about as much credibility as AJ fighting a replacement brought in 2 days out.

The first Saints knew about it was on Thursday

I'd love to know where you are getting this from.

Fairly certain this is the nonsense Keith Mason was peddling.

Yep, he’s cringe on socials

I know it won't happen but either of those players would only count as £150k against the cap. I expect that Wigan will invest their money much better than Warrington. All the players we have signed, apart from Keighran, are non-federation trained. We will continue to promote players through our fantastic scholarship system but we are now in a position to attract big name players. It will be interesting to see what happens when our federation players come off contract.

We not only seem to be recruiting good players but at the same time we are transforming the size of our pack. The likes of Smith, French and Field should be rubbing their hands. There is no doubt, in my mind, that Waney is responsible for this.

its was saints who appealed against Warrington not wanting to play, the RFL made them play due to it, spoke to both Wigan and Warrington lads involved

You’ve literally made that up.

You not tempted to buy a ‘Mason’ watch?

I’m in a number of WhatsApp groups for various rugby clubs where the only topic of discussion is him.

The bloke is an absolute fantasist across all his social networking platforms in some attempt to promote himself and his glamorous A list lifestyle, which you can see quite clearly isn’t the case.

On a serious note though I do wonder if it affects Lukas. It’s obviously very early days for him but he is a very good prospect and his old man using him in his socials is no doubt going to cause him a bit of grief with banter in the changing rooms and abuse on the field.

Keith Mason aside, his son Lukas is a very good solid player and one for the future.

Just had an Australian podcast on (Triple M) and the subject of Luke Thompson came up. James Graham was one of the hosts and he spoke about the move to Wigan and how gutted he is with it, likening it to when Gary Connelly crossed the divide. You’d imagine Graham would be in the know and he certainly didn’t talk as though it wasn’t nailed on.

Luke Thompson’s NRL career is over with the Bulldogs prop heading back to the Super League.
Thompson will return to England after signing a mega deal to join Wigan Warriors from 2024. It is understood the deal is for four years.
Thompson had hoped to extend his time in Australia but the offer from Wigan to return home proved too difficult to reject.
Thompson’s stint in Australia was marred by injury at suspension. He played just 42 games after arriving midway through 2020 on a huge deal which made him one of the highest paid props in the game

Its a bloody big risk. Good job our new owner is loaded

[size(glad its not my money)[/size

Everything points towards us signing Thompson. I’m not convinced but trust the judgment of Peet and once he pulls on a Wigan shirt will get my support. Hopefully he doesn’t turn out to be another Burgess.
