Celt Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Just the sort of high profile player we need to see coming in to our top clubs. This one will certainly generate a lot of column inches in the sports press. Marquee signing perhaps? Rugby League: Alive and Handling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaKangaroo Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I have it on good authority that brown was not at training today This deal is on Could that be because he's on holiday with his family perhaps.....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wackojacko Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I actually think that this will reignite the Williams rumour, as Brown might be filling in for a year before Williams' contract is up... Isn't the latest Williams rumour that he's off to the NRL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Jack Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I've heard they've bought his contract out for £150,000. If true i'm happy enough. 32, injury prone, and has some terrible games, not consistent enough for me. Widnes - Cheshire's Original Glamour Club.

Desert Skipper Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 That wire conveyor belt of talent just keeps churning them out. Considering that their primary locally-procduced half backs are out injured for the start of the season, what are they supposed to do? It's a short-term solution that will also provide cover for when their main half-backs are injured, no? The other option was to panic-buy from overseas so which solution would you have preferred Wigan to go with in such a scenario? “There is perhaps no better a demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world.” Carl Sagan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing you said was wrong there, but that was definitely one to avoid. I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Desert Skipper Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Hi Desert Skipper. Nothing you said was wrong there, but that was definitely one to avoid. But who else was available as a short-term solution. Will likely cost a transfer fee, but the club can afford it and at least will be signing a current international. Obviously I'd want to see a Marquee half-back for the future, but this is enough to cover the Patton/Ratchford injuries for the start of the season. You may even be pleasantly surprised with KB's contribution. I'd have bigger concerns about the three quarter line as it struggled to threaten much on the right-hand side last year. “There is perhaps no better a demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world.” Carl Sagan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
