I wonder if that is why ainscough has been recalled for a game on Friday night. Maybe a 3 month loan deal for a place in their toyota cup team this season may be on the cards. Let craig belamy take a look at him first hand before the deal is done with Widdop doing 3 months in return for us.

Where do you dream this stuff up?

Well I said before MM came that it was a gamble.

It may still turn out to be so.


However, one thing I will say is how much of a nice guy he comes across as. Irrespective of what happens on the field he looks to be a genuine person. I'm impressed thus far.

Inglis might not be realistic, but Cameron Smith might be. www.wigantoday.net/warriors/Smit ... 5782589.jp I'll never forget that article.

Stranger things have happened. Widnes or melbourne ... mmmmm let me see.

I'll have what he's having.

There's sh*t, and then there's the sh*t Dicky posts! Another level altogether...

Be a cracking link up as long as we can have Inglis.

Would be an absoloutely epic link up.

It would make sense if it was Melbourne but St.George and Brisbane have been mentioned at previous fans forums too.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was Canterbury Bulldogs,
Andrew Farrer is on their board and keeps up to date with whats going on at Wigan.

Just think, if we get the link up and we both win our respective grand finals... the WCC would be rather fun next year!

A link up with Melbourne would be excellent especially if we can send a couple of players over there to play in the Toyota cup. They'd benefit hugely from the better standard of that competition aswell as the life experience they'd gain living on the other side of the world.

Maybe the clubs could get some sort of fan swap system in place where they send a raft of us over to Melbourne for a month to watch the Storm and Vice versa!

I'll put my name down now if they want.

I was wondering this.

Did IL possibley bump into Maguire through trying to establish a partnership?

They would be my choice of club. They get some quality young players and to have some over here would be great!

Whoever the team might be, we would be able to go and train with them in the off season which would be fantastic.

i hope they don't expect the same atmosphere on friday as they heard on saturday gone. Because they will be left desperately disapointed.

Apparently he was recommended by Wayne Bennett

Oh yeh, forgot about that. That was enough proof fomr some people that Maguire should be our man!

Wayne Bennett's opinion will certainly do for me.

Well Inglis looked happy enough last time he played at the Kaiser Dave Stadium



He'd have looked at lot better playing in C&W

And from what we have seen so far, Wayne Bennett's opinion was spot on! (maybe I should add "as usual"icon_wink.gif

Melbourne would be a superb twin for the club, their recent success coupled with their use of the most cutting edge techniques and methods would only enhance are own chances of future success.

Now with McGuire in charge and Lenegan's much publicized admiration for the Storm, it would seem an ideal and likely partnership to happen, no doubt if used correctly we stand to gain a lot from it, whether Melbourne would as well I don't know.

That's my worry (early days yet I know), but we seem to have found ourselves a fantastic coach. The trouble is he's probably going to want to go back to Oz at some point in the not so distant future.

And if he's lonely he can bring that Slater fellow for company !!

If we have got a tie up, could this lead to us getting some of there players in for the playoffs at the end of the season like Andrew Johns did for Wire a few years ago. Can imagine having to accomodate Slater or Inglis for a few weeks, perhaps wouldnt be fair on Phelps or whoever would drop out but still...
