This presumably is a joke?

You would seriously consider Carl Webb a bad buy?

Put it this way, we'd be lucky if we got anywhere near him.

Yes I would. DId you watch the match today? He is too hit and miss. That is why the Broncos off loaded him back at the end of 2004. He is not the right type of player for Wigan. We need a workhorse prop and a two 25 minute stint prop.

Carl Webb's contract is until the end of the 2010 season and he is meant to be on $300,000 Aussie per year. So what is that in English? About £140k a year? Value for money on that wage? Further, I guess we would have to pay over the odds to get him out of his extra year?

Luke Bailey at the Gold Coast is off contract. WHy not go for him?

Just noticed that Thurston has a criminal record for being drunk in a public place. So even if we were to sign them would they get their visa stamped?

has Big willie and O'meely not also got convictions?

I like the idea of Fielden and Webb starting the game with Feka coming on for Webb after 20, both interchanging smashing up the line for the full 80 between them.

Not my first choice but a good signing if it happened.

I'm surprised about the news that Thurston is looking at SL clubs, he's the starting 7 for the test team and he's only 26. A classic example of an Aussie player linking himself to the SL to get a better contract.

Where is it stated that Thurston is looking for a SL club? I doubt he is.

Well that is interesting.

I doubt anything will come of it other than Thurston getting a bigger contract in the NRL.

Thurston, however, is the type of 7 we need.

We already have three workhorses in O'Carroll, Prescott and Fielden. People keep saying we need an enforcer to run alongside Feka. I can't think of anyone else in RL I'd rather have alongside me than Carl Webb if I was in need of an enforcer.

Carl Webb is a nasty piece of work.

Fantastic. Just what we need at Wigan.
