Offiah hasn't sent anyone to Union yet. Clarke and Howes have.
SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row Saints have five in a row
When I met Offiah last year at our reserves match in London, it was obvious he is very close to the Quins side, including the management and the players.
His career and income depends on his ability to get the best deal for his clients, and if he can build a reputation as a good agent, he'll get more clients.
Let's not forget that to him and the players their career is short, and they need to earn money whilst working.
As much as we, as fans, want the best players in RL, we can't begrudge a player chasing the cash, when we would probably do the same in our own walks of life.

Romain Navarrete: “I’m very happy to have signed for Wigan Warriors. As soon I knew that Wigan were interested, they were the only team that I wanted to sign for. To me, Wigan is the biggest Club in Rugby League and it will be an honour to pull on the famous Cherry-and-White jersey next year. I look forward to working with Shaun Wane and the players at Wigan.”

According to Offiah on Sky towards the end of the season, Michael Worrincy is already THE best back rower in SL

I agree, but it's inevitable that RL folk will resent it when someone like Offiah - who owes everything he has to RL - starts looking to send RL players to RU.
Sure, it's all about money. But British RL can ill-afford to lose any more players, particularly from its star ranks, which are threadbare as it is. People like Offiah and Andy Clarke expect us to understand that they must get the best deal possible for their clients. In turn, they must understand why we hate them for deliberately weakening our game.

Michael Worrincy is officially the most mentioned sportsman on Sky Sports News for 2009 so far
David Beckham is lagging 2,537 mentions behind and Wayne Rooney is 1,450 behind. Tiger Woods is making a late charge but is still a whopping 5,550 behind.

Surely Henry must be up there
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
