Does he? News to me but then is that a rumour or has he asked for move?
If he has then we all know it will be down to Noble and his poor treatment of him. Yet another example of Noble's inability as a coach IMO.
If he has asked for a move he follows in Stanton's footsteps as another young player wanting away due to the way he has been treated by Noble IMO.
I really do with Noble would get the sack before he does any more damage.

Impossible, we've agreed Mathers and two pies for Shenton only this morning.

Just been told a similar thing only my version was;
We want Shenton, Huddersfield want Gleeson back, Warrington want Whatuira and Cas want Goulding. Now Cas won't trade directly with us because we got them relegated and Huddersfield won't trade with Warrington because Ken Davey once bought a poodle off Lord Doug Hoyle that turned out to be a Cocker Spaniel. Huddersfield also won't trade with us because we gave them Kevin Brown (once bitten etc)...
We give Warrington Goulding and they give us Gleeson. We then swap Gleeson for Gidley (bear with me now). Gleeson is then swapped for Whatuira who is then swapped back for Gidley. Meanwhile Warrington swap Goulding for Shenton and then we swap Whatuira for Gleeson.

| Good to see the WEP on the ball again with the Gleeson rumour - not. Most nationals have got it now.

Out-rage-ous. See you in court.
As for that bit at the bottom. What a load of crap - are you suggesting that Rugby League clubs would create phantom transfers just to avoid directly dealing with a club even if the end result is identical? Say, involving Bradford, Saints and Wigan for example? It'll never happen.

And due to complicated Kolpak and EU trading rules we end up with David Vaealiki back...

| I'm unsure about Gleeson signing for Wigan, we definitely need a decent centre for the right hand side of the field. But, if the rumours are true, do you think Gleeson is the ideal signing if one of our young players is going the other way, with regards Goulding?
Now, Shenton, he'd be a cracking signing! Not that it'll happen.

Sounds as convincing as anything I’ve heard up to now.

Wane given IL's perceived penny pinching attitude (so he would not buy out a coaches contract from elsewhere).
If IL suddenly finds a deep pocket then take your pick. Noble wasn't available when we got him.

Maybe Wane doesn't want the job and is happy working part time with the reserves...
