Is that basically saying he’s held off on his deal in the hope his form has caught the eye of NRL clubs? Fair play for his honesty I guess but still leaving us hanging and I guess a marquee (or close to it) wage still not nailed down for next year.
Yes thats what I read into it but doesn't tell us anything we didn't already know. If an NRL deal comes in he's not staying at Wigan - if that wasn't the case he wouldn't have held off for so long. I guess the only caveat to that would be if an NRL offer is hugely inferior from a financial standpoint.
But yes a little surprising how honest he was.
