Bargin really!
I hope we get LMS, he is doing as well as most experienced props, he will only get better as long as they don't play him too much like the ginger guy.
Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS

That what the rumor started from i think. Bradford are a little punch drunk with cash after not having any for a while.
Either way with IL having very close ties with Quins he'll know if Bradford are sniffing around he'll also know
-How much they've offered,
-What he's currently on wages wise
We should in theory be on much stronger negotiating grounds with the previous history IL has with him and the enthusiasm Wane shows.
He's a player we should definatly be looking at when his contract is up at the end of season.
BTW can IL not just offer his quins counter part a transfer fee and then accept it himself and walk away with the dosh? You know Whelan would have done it

You would hope that Lenegan's ties with Quins would be are advantage over Bradford, either way LMS comes out of contract at the end of next year anyway.

Wigan 178 - 64 Leeds

The only thing Bradford may have is more cap room and they have a couple of ex Quins players there.
Other than that i really don't know why a player wouldn't pick us over Bradford as we seem better in most areas
Training facilities
Final league standings
Cup runs
Stadia
Players
Juniors
Coaches
If you really had to look at it from and unbiased view point 99% of the time you'd pick Wigan over Bradford imo as we are in a much stronger position.

I'd agree with all of the above"Waiting for irate Bulls fan to turn up".
The only reason that I can see him going to Bradford over us is larger salary and possibly ex-quins player being there, I just hope that if this is more than just a rumour that we actually make a move for him.

All of the above are reasons/suppositions why I'd be surprised if we bid for LMS at all. As IL has interests in both clubs transferring a player from one to the other would probably be seen in a very dim light by the RFL.
Mind you it never stopped the Hethrington's with Hull and Leeds...

It's neither Wigan's or IL's problem tho imo. If they RFL approved his takeover of Wigan then it's their problem not ours.
At the end of the day we've as much of a right to bid for anyone as say Bradford have.
