No chance hes off to union.

Personally think he will go prop in union as he is so big.

No thanks.

At one time I'd have jumped at the chance. Now I think it would be the worst move Wigan could make.

Neither of our current wingers can be faulted for their efforts this year, and we've got very capable back-up among our junior players.

Apart from that, Big Les is a shadow of the man he was. One too many injuries, I reckon.

Me thinks thats why he's listening to union. Knows he's getting many injuries and a couple more could end his career, more money from union wont be a bad thing for him to retire on.

So would Wigan. If Happy Frank had not been relieved of his duties at the club, then Vainokolo would have been at Wigan instead of Bradford. He was trying to arrange the deal before getting fired, but I'm assuming he lost interest in trying to help Wigan at that point.
