Could it mean that they are already over the cap and hes hoping if this goes through then pryce would come off it to fetch then below the limit.

That, supposedly, can not happen now.

that is exactly what he means and in practice this is how it works.

1 The Rfl agree

2 we pay Gasnier or sonny Bill Williams £400,000

3 We only have to pay £50,000 towards the salary cap.

sod getting RU players who could play for England at RL, it is a way of getting RU playing aussies who used to play RL so wigan can legally get around the salary cap..

Pryce was signed last season but was injured all year.

He's lost the plot if you ask me.

Can anyone name me a "World Class" home nations RU player that could/would make a difference to our game? I can think of 3/4, not many more. One per team? I don't think so. Better than what we already have.... Nah!

I think Nobby is looking to turn the attention away from the fact he's got a team full of overseas players. He more than most (an English man and ex GB Coach to boot) is neglecting his duties to develop and bring through local ENGLISH/HOME NATIONS players.

I really feel for the Wigan fans. A club steeped in tradition and a club that's in the past produced some top class home grown players now sees good local players are forced to leave the club to develop their careers and this is very sad to see.

The sooner we cap the number of overseas players per team the better it will be for the development of our home grown players and the future of team GB.

I know that but this IS wigan we are talking about.

Dunno Pal, that Centre for Scotland looked pretty sharp on his feet, add to that a few of the Ireland backline and most of the Welsh I think you could easlily be at double figures for players who could 'contribute' - don't get me wrong I am no RU lover, but they do have a few who I would like to see have a run out.

Been watching the sevens aswell. Some very good players.

Agree 100% with this the man when put infront of a reported is a joke, he may well be like it away from the media spotlight too i guess.

He is full of sayings he finds funny and clever that simply make him look like a fool rather than talking in a straight manner and telling it like it is.

Noble is in my opinion in charge of several of the brightest prospects in British rugby league in the S Tomkins, S Ainscough and L Mossop, and they are not likely to get much of a look in while he is at the club.

No disrespect to Wakefield but the opening game against you at the JJB with your injury problems was the perfect opposrunity to give Tomkins a bench spot, especially as i would have meant we would not have had to shuffle the entire team when Riddell was spelled, but he never got a look in.

I personally given the game plan and tactics employed by Noble think he has very little credibiliy at any level anymore. Good players do not become bad players over night but they all seem to underperform at Wigan, coincidence, or is it due to the coaching?

Regards the union idea i have always been an advocate of looking to Union for talent but if he expects a top International player to come to league it simply will not happen. For me the key is to look at the pool of players below the top Internationals and also below the Premiership, there are some players who cannot break into the big time in Union as they do not have the game or mentality to be a top player in Union, and who are far more suited to League, these are the type of players that will not cost the earth and could have a real impact. I know Wakefield were looking at a wingman for Sandal briefly, he is not up to much, but at least they are looking and open to the idea, which i feel long term can only be of benefit top the club and code.

League has nothing for the top RU players anymore. Think of it like this: You're a pro sportsman, where would you rather be on a cold February sunday afternoon? Turning out for England against Wales in front of 70,000 at Twickenham or turning out for Wigan against us in front of 7,000 at our place?

It sounds like quite a few England RU players are off to France to ply their trade, they don’t have a salary cap over there .

Is that Fred Elliot ah say is that Fred Elliot??
