That came from a player who was playing at the time and seen him around the training camp and spoke to him. Any better source than that?

A replacement for Lam I think, then we got Moran instead?

Maybe someone else can back me up?

he's got a challenge cup winners medal for last year, more than any current pie player! (none of whom got a medal last year!

)

chomp

Nick fozzard signed, then mo regained power and canned the deal suggesting he wasn't wigan standard and that we only sign the best from now on.

Think we signed someone like tony mestrov or stuart lestor instead

You're going to feast on that solitary Challenge Cup win for the next ten years aren't you?

You mean like Richards who has a NRL grand final winners medal?.......or Gleeson,or Fielden. Really should think before typing eh

They're going to feast on it for the next millenium at least, suprised they haven't yet had a solitary star to put on their badge to celebrate all the trophies they've ever won.

LuLu world cup winner.

Jamie Lyon..........Mo was 'warned off' him by an agent in Aus who thought he would not see out any contract in the UK because of his 'tendencies to go walkabout', instead we signed Vaealiki, and the rest as they say, is history !!!!

Yeah - one's that actually true.

Nat Wood had a deal agreed with Wigan when he had a year left on his Warrington contract - Wigan had offered two years. Wigan backed out of the deal and Wood played the following year with warrington and injured his neck the back-end of that season. Wood retired at the end of the season and did lap of honour type thing etc saying his goodbyes. The neck injury only came to light when he returned to Australia and looked at the option of playing with Souths.

Could you ask your "player playing at the time ..... any better source than that" how he knew about Woods neck injury 12 months before it happened? Unless of course the player was Kevin "Darren" Brown.

No it was Nostradamous, he was playing in the academy at the time.

Years ago we were supposed to be signing Tom Van Vollenhoven.
He was lined up to sign for us then signed for Saints as they got to him first.
Something like a mix up in the post?
I'm sure a Saints fan will enlighten us but he was definately Wigan bound at one stage.

Didn't you offer Adrian Morley megabucks before he signed for Sydney Roosters? Your pack at the time would have been quite scary if you had managed to sign him.

no Mat i think it will be for the next 35, as its summat like that since there last trophy before last years CC finsl win IIRC.

Lets not forget people say WIGAN are chasing them to get a bigger contract at thier currant club.

remember buying WEP in 2001 and had a full backpage article, interview with mo, the full works saying morley was coming at the start of the 2002 season. me and mate went for a pint to celebrate but then we never heard anything about it ever again!!! anyone else remember this?

AJ???

Andrew Johns.

When we signed his brother Mathew the WEP printed the wrong picture which led some people to believe we had signed a world class half-back.

Instead we got an Aussie comedian.

That's correct.
It was a problem with the telegram to Vollenhoven.
What a wing combination that would have been, Boston on one wing and Vollenhoven on the other.

Wigan then went and paid a record transfer fee to Huddersfield for Mick Sullivan.

With a dark past

If Ray hadn't realised and the deal was completed would Ray French have signed Mal Meninga for Wigan?

if it remains solitary yes, if not god help you all

what, they've got medals for last years challenge cup, must have made them out of lego, cos i don't remember them playin



really should think before you type

read what i posted bent carrot, a medal for last years challenge cup, no wigan player will ever achieve this!

So what's your point?

the sharp bit at the end!
