Rule gone?

Not a rumour - see the other thread

Heard we are after Misi Taulapapa after his impact at Rovers.

Broughton is faster than Sharp and is the better winger,oh, and I was at the Warrington match.

I agree Broughton is the faster player, but that's not saying that Sharp isn't fast because he is.
I like Broughton and wouldn't mind him at the club at all. But Sharp was made a scape goat last season by Agar, we need to give Sharp another season because I have faith that he will come good and we don't need to waste time on looking at getting another winger in. Give him another season and then if it's a bad one then look to replace him.

Sharp was made a scapegoat by the fans - including several on here - after making a couple of huge errors that cost games that could have seen the team finish higher in the table. Admittedly it was perplexing why he was kept on the bench so many times and given two minutes at the end of games - I could accept the "replacement back in case of injury" reason up to a point but...

Scott moore signed for Widnes

Sam is absolute class and will be a massive loss to Super League.

The salary cap needs to be looked at to try and stop our best young players leaving for RU.

Also international RL needs looking at.

Joel T to Saracens for £400k a season is looking nailed on now. I can only assume the RFU will be funding part of that - as a game we just can't compete with that.

According to a very liable source Sam T was offered £500k a season to go to Saracens but has turned it down and told them his price was £1m and he wouldn't discuss until after the 4 Nations - they are coming back to him after the 4 Nations with an offer he can't refuse.

Given the state of the England RU side I can see them panicking and throwing money at other young RL players as well.

Mate just told me there was an article in League Weekly yesterday where Mccrae stated our recruitment is complete. Did anyone else read this?

Massive shame for Wigan and the sport in general (whatever people say about those two as characters) if this happens. There's really not a lot English RL can do about it though, if you changed the salary cap to accommodate these situations you'd have to do it across the board, and some clubs would use that rope to hang themselves in the long run.

I won't be sorry to see the back of him. Ronaldo is a classy footballer, but I never enjoyed watching him because of his horrendous attitude. Sam Tomkins falls into the same category.

Unions salary cap is £4m so that's a hell of a slice out of their cap or does that include England appearance money etc.
