Read in the Sun that they are after Willie Mason and Matt Orford..


Confirmed by the Wigan chairman as well.

Interesting times at the mecca bingo HQ. There was me thinking Wigan had changed and were going to give youth a chance.

bet fielden will want to move clubs v quickly if Pies do sign Mason

They are, albeit at Huddersfield, St Helens and Widnes.

Damn right.

There are always big names linked with wigan, but they end up signing garbage.

Having said that- one old, one bang out of form with issues - sounds plausible.

Mason & Gleeson together, some good nights in prospect there.

Can't see sense in them signing Orford. He's 31 will be nearly 32 by time he gets here.. and we wonder why internationally we're a shambles.

If you think the collective 'we' are a shambles, just look at Wigan, they're a big bowl of wrong.

The could get Sean Long for the same money

I thought they'd learnt their lessons. Obviousley not.

Don't they already have something like 7 or 8 non english players..


Leu leuai, fekka, phelps, tim smith, richards, hanson, roberts...
(apologies for the spellings

)

Pay increase in his 30's! his agent will get bombarded with calls from Calderwood, Chev and Cunningham!!

Yes they might as well hadn't they..

would be funny to see saints reaction to that.

Hansen?

Kiwi.

Kiwi indeed

While were chewing the fat on this, may as well mention:

Piggy Riddell and Phil 'Yawn' Bailey.

Orford isnt gonna stop the next 7 coming thru from wigan, at mo they have leulai who plays there so its aussie for a kiwi, at 7 in this country we have burrow, myler, long, deacon, brough, robinson, thorman who are all british so ageing no.7 signing for wigan aint gonna affect us in an international sense..it would be different if they had someone who could step up and who couyld play there for britain but they havent..burrow should be england no 7 along with brough for next 5 - 7 yrs then myler will take over if eh hasnt by then already.

Its fb, wing, centre we need to find, we have ones that can make do at mo but we need to find ones that can compete with the aussie versions..we havent got a folau/inglis etc like they have and scary thing is they have 10 yrs at the international level before they need to find anymore..until we sort our backline out we will always be 10yrs behind them..ainscough being kept out by phelps, crookes(even tho hes injured at mo) being kept out by nero, penny being kept out by hicks etc..

Why would the current clear runner for super league dream team scrum half have to wait around for 5 years to get his chance?

We should be basing the England side on the back of him now.

English
Samoan

Take your pick really.

I agree

Danny Buderus

Dobson is clear runner for dream team scrum half not myler.

We all know that england always goes for the safe options..burrow is dependable and has been there and done it..hes not past it and poses a bigger threat than myler..whilst myler is doing it in sl international is a completely different ball game..briscoe shouldnt have to wait around for wellens to retire but hes a safer option..ainscough shouldnt have to wait around for garbage to retire but hes a safer option..atkins with gleeson..tomkins with maguire..you cant just throw kids in cos theyve done ok for their club for a few weeks.

Isnt he english trained tho so even tho hes said hes samoan or whatever for international game he is classed as home grown..am sure he came thru their ranks.

And Mauries English.

Non fed trained tho so again even tho hes pledged allegiance to england not classed as english when it comes to quota players allowed.
