at best badly thought out, at worst purely delusional, if he thinks top r.u players are going to come for a fraction of their value then hes off his rocker unless as i sugested jokingly where off back to the good old days off maurices "creative accounting" scams!!!
mrs o driscoll to check out 2!!!!!!!

since when have the cherry and whites needed permission from the powers that be to break the salary cap!!!!

maybe if they did not sign second rate aussies on big salaries and kept some of their home grown players instead of selling them to the Giants they might have a spare £50,000 to spend on a RU player

He can have Ricky Bibey he plays like he is playing a different code

and henderson

Nobby is always worth a good old laugh! When he's sacked at Wigan he'll do well in stand up!

ay the laughing policeman (no offensive to emerdale dwellers)

I may be wrong but i got the impression that the plan would be to sign the players for a lot more than 50k but it would only count for 50k on the salary cap record?

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.
