I've heard a very strong rumour that we are in line to sign a former St Helens great who has had some time from the spot light...
Apparently Ray French isn't happy he's been binned off by the BBC for Dave Woods and he still reckons he can do a job for us off the bench.
In all seriousness does anyone know if the lack of work he's getting is down to anything in particular?
Not really looking forward to Saturday as it is, at least if Ray and Jonathan Davies (both far superior to Stevo and Eddie) are bickering with one another we'd have some entertainment, whilst we're getting our backsides handed to us by the Aussies.

I have not heard anything. I have a feeling he might be going home to give MaGuire a chance to sign a player.
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

I know that Shaun Wane "announced" it on GMR, but whether that was official or not, I have no idea.

Ray French has turned down a playing contract with us as he wanted a deal beyond 2010.
The BBC came up with a better offer so he's sticking with them.
The first trip under his new contract, after being disappointed by not being able to come to Wigan, is that he's off to the South of France this weekend commentating for the BBC on the France v Kiwis game.
Ray speaks fluent French and does like their wines. He knows quite a few good restaurants in that neck of the woods too.
I know he'll be making the best of a bad job having to go to the South of France for the weekend. All expenses paid of course!
Don't be so mean Rouges,
Ray has turned us down and stuck with the beeb, so why should
they count under the flat cap!
I wonder if they count as BIK for tax purposes?
He might be breeching the spirit of income tax!
