I agree about Clarky. Every team that is on sky is "the best team at............."

Its stupid and pathetic and we dont buy it anymore Phil!!

Got to agree about Clarky,and when he starts calling Wigan the cherry and whites you know he is drooling over them being on top in a game.Think Barry Mac is a great ambassador for the game,always seems to have a good word for everybody.As for the squawking Jonathan Davies and the living in the past Ray French,they must be the two worst with Martin Offiah a close third.

He was using himself as a benchmark

theyll have to give him a new contract first! he's only contracted to them for the remainder of this season

Pretty sure they will.

would like to stay at hull long term im told

Would be delighted if he did but think Quins see it as a short term loan deal.

short term loan deal? he's got another 2 years at hull uni and his contract at quins runs out this season

Yup i know, but my point was that Quins with give him a 2 or 3 year deal and then loan him to us for the remaining 2 years of his study. Same as they did with Worrincy and Mcarthy-Scarsbrook i believe.

thats if he wants to stay registered to quins

Due to his age im pretty sure we'd owe a fee wouldnt we should he decide to turn their offer down and join us?

Well thats the end of that then

I may be wrong?

You old cynic, you.

Maybe, but I think you're right.

Something to do with clubs keeping hold of their juniors i think to warn off clubs able to offer bigger salaries and pinching them for free.

Yup. I think you have to pay a fee for any player under 21 regardless of whether they're OOC or not.

Yup, if the player is contracted the clubs can agree a fee or he cant go. If the player isnt contracted and the club doesnt want him to go i think the RFL tribunal sets a fee.

its 23 and under isnt it?

The fee will be negligible though. the club should invest the money if this kid is as good as everyone says

AFAIK he did love Wigan, but has recently developed a thing for Wire.
