Quote ="TrentBarrett""We can't compete with the NRL" Yes we can, we have him tied down till the end of 2016, the same goes for Sam these player's can't accept the comfort and job security of long term deals and then turn their back on them after 1 or 2 years, it works both ways you get your security and your club should get your services for that length of time. Maybe I have an old fashioned sense of loyalty, but contracts at Wigan just seem to determine how much of a transfer fee is required when an NRL club wants one of our players and IL bends over for them.'"
For the sake of the fans' sanity, the club can't afford to let Josh talk to anyone else.
They've simply got to draw the line here - whatever the outcome. Even if it mean Josh sits on the bench until the end of his contract.
Or alternatively. Yes, MM, you can have him - in exchange for all your best players, AND a £10 million transfer fee. Otherwise, f**k off!
