| Quote jonh="jonh"I do not think we have to aim at the top International players who are earning thousands of pounds a week. In my opinion there are many union players some who are not even playing in the Guiness Premiership who would be much more suited to rugby league than they are in rugby union, i would suggest this would be the same world wide.
The man will have a network of contacts throughout the world, clearly young talent are still attracted to the game in New Zealand for example despite union being the national sport and a much bigger sport.
Given the federation trained rule and the loop hole of 3 full seasons prior to the age of 21 Jones may well be able to identify realistic targets who could be brought to the club at a young age and included on the federation trained list.
Its all speculation, clearly but you do not always have to look at the big earners in Union to unearth the talent suited towards our code of rugby, i think much of it has to do with ignorance of union, which having someone like Jones on board would put that issue to bed.'"
I take your point but the last thing English RL needs is an influx of teenage Kiwis - not that any of this is likely to happen.

I do not disagree, but i am sure we would not mind the odd one here and there if they were potentially top class league players, the kiwi's especially in union tend to turn out year in year out these massive pacey wing men who would be perfectly suited to our code, would not mind bagging one, a Lomu as a 16 year old for example.
While i agree it maybe unlikely the potential for him to do this is there and IF he were to come i think the clubs horizons would be significantly broadened.

"Whether they will become available in the next few days or weeks or not at all is something I can't predict, but we've got to be ready.'"
Wonder who they are?
Richard Moore?
David Solomona?

Considering Moore has lost over 2 stones with a mystery illness thats definatly the case!
And Solomona could do with getting the same one!

Moore and Solomona won't be comming on mega wages but also they wont be cheap and it’s very likely there will be a transfer fee involved also as both are under contract. Is there no one else realistically available who would command the same wages and a transfer fee?
I’d personally try and get Guisset back if that’s the level of player we are looking at. At least we know we’ll get a committed lad who won’t take a step back and he’ll be on the same pay bracket.
Is there no one else tho?

That would be a great signing, just the sort of player we need.
It was a shame us missing out on Ryles though.

| I think a few of our players are going on loan to Leigh. Mossop being one of them.

| IL stated a while ago that Wigan have a max of 20 grand left on the salary cap so who will go if a player of quality comes in? You won't get much really for that amount without letting somebody go whether it be sold or on loan.

I got told that off a mate of mine who did also say that he'd said people may not be able to tell due to the fact that the bulls play in a white kit and it doesn't flatter him
In all seriousness though if he has got himself fit i'd take him in an instant because he's a fantastic ball player and is different to anything we currently have but i don't see any truth in it.
