Personally not sure it will go any further than an enquiry (if they decide to make contact) as he has 2 years left on his current deal at $400k per year and I can not see him wanting to move to England.
Wonder if the enquiry has been progressed….

I would hope so as I always rated him but then we would have the problem of too many half backs!

We spoke to his reps to gauge his thoughts on a move to England and it was positive, I believe now the fact he is “being offered to SL clubs” is so that they have a few offers for Wigan to compete against, rather than being his only option. I will try to find out more over the weekend

You said it mate, I hope it now happens so that you can prove the doubters wrong 😀. We will have to let one of our overseas players go to accommodate him though.

I’ve made no secret of my thoughts on Dan, but if this turns out to be true. I’ll personally meet him at a game in the future and apologise to his face!

No need to apologise mate, If it happens or doesn't happen, its out there now all I was told was that we were considering an enquiry I didn't have anymore info than that, yes it was vague, but its all I got. It seems a bit more advanced with him coming to the Super League…Wigan are speaking to his reps and the Bulldogs. I say Super League and not England because Catalan are serious contenders as well. They are the only side Wigan are concerned about. However, Both Wigan & Catalan need outgoings before they can sign Flanagan.

I honestly don't know which way this one will go, Wigan want him and are hopeful thats all Im getting at the moment

I would imagine that player is Tommy L

More interested in his dad. His son would be a bonus. Would put pressure on Smith and Field to perform. If we need to make overseas room Mitch Clarke comes to mind, or TL if he counts

Doesn’t Tommy count as a non federation trained player? Isn’t that what it’s called??

Thought Tommy first came over here at 17 to play for London!

If Flanaghan does arrive then there's no need for Tommy to go around again.
