Isn't it time Saddo had his own "sticky" for his Wigan obsession. I emphasise the sticky bit.

This lad must be on 20-30k a year and we've lost Coley, Hoffman, Deacon, O'Carroll, Davies and obviously Joel Tomkins.

I think the RFL need to investigate!

But no one has offered a logical and rational answer.

Why did Wigan want the rules changing if they had so much cap room available anyway?

The lads not from the NRL and he won't be classed as middle of the road. He's a total punt, a junior who may play hardly any games for us.

Lenagan meant we could sign a player with NRL experience but who's talents aren't all that and would ask for money they dont warrant.

Im not being deffensive, I merely highlighting your obsession with Wigan. I dont really care, I find it funny how you talk about them more than I do. I quite enjoy the fact that everyting they do manages to wind you up so much.

What Wigan wanted was something that should have done along time go to help keep our talent in the game and is a positive thing. Had it been done earlier maybe you guys could have kept Eastmond.

Why? To enable Wigan and other clubs to offer a more attractive package to those players who may well be targets for other codes/countries with deeper pockets.

If we hadn't lost Coley, Gleeson, Deacon, Hoffman et al this season and wanted to keep Sam for Wigan and England RL, the same principle applies. The 'extra' added on if used for Sam is well worth it.

It is reasonable to suggest that Wigan can use their existing cap space to recruit players to replace those that we have lost.

To be fair, George Carmont was a middle of the road NRL centre when Wigan signed him. He's not done too bad though

If wigan want to sign a centre from the NRL they can do - there's nothing wrong with that, and indeed Carmont has been a good player (as he was in the NRL). I'm just pointing out that Lenaghan's recent quotes regarding how the club wasn't going to look to the NRL for a centre seem at odds with signing a centre from the NRL less than a week later. If he is just a punt on a junior then fair enough, let's hope that some of the other British junior centres at Wigan also get a run this year.

More importantly, why was he sacked for having a poo in a hotel. I do it all the time when I'm working away from home. Should I be worried?

How long before all the poo jokes are dumped on us?

It might have helped if you hadn't got the "quote" wrong.

Hmmm....

But the rules don't only benefit Wigan, do they? It's a rule applied across the board to all clubs.

I can just see you turning green and shaking like a leaf every time Wigan is mentioned. Why don't you just start supporting them? You'd be a lot less angry and jealous that way.

Or maybe you should see a counsellor?

I agree with Nicky Kiss, i dont think he even made an NRL debut, he was playing in the toyota cup when he was sacked, hes going to cost next to nothing, plus as others have mentioned wigaley, dean have also now lost hoffman, coley, deacon, o'carroll and gleeson, so i cant see the logic of this post.,
oh and joel as well

lol at another SL club signing an NRL no name.

lolsaddened.

There's nothing sadder than saddened

Perhaps starting with Saddened! staging a dirty protest in his capacious underpants.

"We've looked around rugby league and there aren't really opportunities to get a centre of the right calibre to come to Wigan at this stage.

"We could go to Australia and get a middle-grade £100,000-plus-a-year centre but we don't want to do that.

"We would rather give young English players an opportunity. Darrell Goulding, for example, will get his opportunity again and Josh Charnley is another potential centre."

For years on these forums fans have called for the salary cap to be changed to allow concessions for those players from clubs' academies and should do more to keep our best players from Union and latterly the NRL.
Now the SL clubs have agreed amendments there are complaints due to the initiative coming from Wigan.
The SL club chairmen can't do right for doing wrong!

Makes me wonder why you chose to make it up then? Especially as you seemed to missed the most pertinent point about cost.

Hmmm....

he certainly sounds like it.

www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/new-d ... 5917084983 sounds like a nice lad.....he wasnt even drunk!!!!! just the type of player that a SL club should be signing to help benefit the English game.

So imagine your a coach/scout of a super league club and you see potential in a player and recommend/want to sign him for your club. You then find out that he got sacked from a previous club because he pooed all over a hotel room. Your telling me you wouldnt sign him just because he made a stupid mistake when he was 19 years old?

Anybody would think that the guy stabbed somebody FFS.

#SuperLeagueInDecline

The good news is he can play for England within a couple of years if he's any good. Then Wigan can get an exemption for him as well.
