Thanks. Now that we've got your permission, there clearly won't be a problem.

Your welcome

heard you guys wont to sign him but they wont releae him from his current contract.

You heard wrong. They won't guarantee to release him. Which means they need some form of compo. Standard business deal.

Nope, thanks to setanta!!

Why how's he playing?

'Patchy' is the official line.

Good move here by the Aussies. They get rid of a patchy prop to Wigan, pick up some compo and make room on the CAP for their emerging front rowers.

I thought Moi Moi was off contract at the end of the season? Far better.

Exactly. Like I posted on the Carl Webb thread, good move for the Aussies.

Moi Moi is a Feka type player.

Webb is more of the enforcer type prop we probably need.

Not anymore. His fitness means he has to be spelled in a similar way to Feka. He comes on can have impact in his drives but quickly disappears due to poor fitness.

Wigan will have to use his as an impact prop, fitness won't allow him to be an on-field enforcer.

An enforcer would been more of a Petro or Price. To a lesser degree (and more in Wigan's league) Meley.

I always thought of Webb as an impact prop? Haven't seen him play this year so maybe he's getting more minutes these days.

Nope his not. You're right about Webb.

Tbh he's been quite poor, but so have most of the Roosters forwards. Clearly Fitler isnt getting along with him, so he'll probably be out by the end of the season. I think his total average meters gained is around 73, (the highest is 170m) his stats dont make good reading.

You talking about O Meley not Webb?

In the current climte no chance of him getting a visa i think he has done time on 1 maybe 2 occasions in the past. Would be suprised if Webb could get a vis s well as he is on a chrge of drunk driving think he ws cught the morning after his wedding, if Eastwood cannot get a visa for driving convictions i doubt Webb would.

Yes, sorry for the confusion...

In which case I don't think he's what Wigan need - they should be after more of a Ryles type IMO.

Does O Meley have any criminal records to stop him playing SL rugby?

Eastwood had a load of them though IIRC, not just one. No idea whether that makes a difference though.

Not as far as i know.

He's not getting a proper run out though is he. playing a game here and a game there.

I'd sooner have him at this stage than Webb.

I would of had Webb 2 or 3 seasons ago but not anymore, we need as someone as already said an 'enforcer' prop. But if we did get him I wouldnt complain, still a very good player, with plenty of experience and doesnt take cr@p from anyone.

I believe we are very close to closing the deal on a new Halfback the hint was Thurston. Bailey, Smith and possibly Riddell will leave at the end of the season.

hmmmm

He was not the first choice but if we get him he is not a bad second choice halfback is he
