Nah but if I were IL I would enquire about if Wire would release him as they are supposed to be signing Myler (who has been offered a contract at Salford to become their highest ever paid player and turned it down so he mustn't be on buttons at Wire) and Morley is getting on a bit and wil be on a fortune and maybe would leave wire to another club if he was offered a 2 year deal and I reckon we could get 2 years out of him, best prop in the league this year.

Always liked Morley and I remember in about 2003 he said he would give Wigan first refusal when his contract ran out at Sydney Roosters.

Wish we would have signed him!






Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.

I remember Mo stating that we put a contract in front of him but we couldn't afford the money he eventually went for.

You have to remember tho that we signed Fielden at the same time which would disrupt anyone’s budget.

At the end of the day we’d all love Morley over Fielden now but we made what we thought was the right decision at the time and you have to also remember we signed Fielden mid Season where Morley came in the off season.

Got to admit I was over the moon when we signed Fielden and wasn't bothered about Morley at the time we got Fielden but in hindsight obviously would have had Morley.

Looking into the future for signings I think there are only a few players I would take from other clubs them young players being (as its better to sign them up young therefore costing less) :-

Cas- Shenton, Westerman and Owen.
Bradford- Burgess
Catalans- Pelo
Celtic- ?
Huddersfield- ?
Harlequins- LMS
Hull FC- ?
Hull KR- Wheeldon
Salford- Myler
Saints- Wheeler, Eastmond
Wakefield- ?
Warrington- Cooper, Riley

If you had watched a few more games then I think you'd consider Whitehead, Donaldson and Halley. There are plenty at Wigan that other clubs would take though, that probably means that you don't need to go looking as much as some clubs.
