I hope it happens because I reckon we will rip them a new one. It would be a big positive for the sport if a rugby league team demolished a union one imo.

How would it? The media is dominated by Union types and it would barely raise an eyelid. Anyway we would not demolish Saracens at Union and depending how they chose to play we would barely touch the ball. All it would prove is that they are better at Union and we are better at League. It would be a money making scheme with little purpose and I hope that Wigan fans would boycott such an event.

I'm going with the wait & see gang on this one. What if Saracens have a halfback or centre who is more suited to league or a running strong backrow forward that isn't 6'6" tall.

Before completely dismissing the idea lets have a little look. I admit to being a bit perplexed but is it another way of getting the Wigan brand into London & RU?

I disagree. They would market it big style imo and get it on sky and lets rip them a new one live on sky. We may get some extra people watching/playing rugby league off the back of it. If we make money from it too whats bad about that?

It's been done before, with Bath in the mid-90's. Nobody took any notice then so I don't see why they would now

From an outsider looking in... I just see this primarily as a publicity stunt... and also a way to appease the Wigan fans after signing one of their top forwards.

I'd bet a pound to a penny that this was suggested by Saracens to make Wigan believe they were getting something more out of it... I would guess that after a couple of money making cross code matches, you won't hear much more about the partnership.... I imagine it will be something like the Huddersfield/Sheffield merger... when they played a couple of games in Sheffield and then it faded out... this will fade out in a similar way... I'm pretty certain.

hahahahahaha, our academy this our academy that, lets face it most of your promising players go to kick and clap because nobody wants to be a wiganer !!!!!

is that the best u have got, back in your bin crust muncher

1. Joel has played centre all year
2. There is no merger at all so is nothing like sheffield/huddersfield and we hope we dont play any games!

I'm waiting for one of our zealous Mods to come along.
