[wiganspies]

thats the fellow ....

[mrs_carney]

i've heard that as well

[wiganspies]

i did not rate him that much.. hes playing union at the moment

Hes not that bad, he's dependable and he has plenty of Super League experience, and if he's the only prop we can get, he is better than nothing, and he
is alot better than any of our young props look at the moment(not having a dig at them before you all slate me).

That speaks volumes as to were Wigan are now if that's on the list of transfer targets.

Not at all, you could have said that if we had targeted him at the end of last season or somthing when we had other players to choose from, but not 4 days before the season is about to start and we are down to 2 first choice props, 1 of which is already prone to a fick up a few injuries, we need a prop and we need one fast, if you think that is easy you should go out and get us one, he has tried to sign some top quality players and has been refused becasue we are on the verge of a new season, that is the only reason he may have been targeted, not because Wigan can no longer attract big players.

Someone said he was 'pants' but I dont believe them! (sorry)

Apparently he is in the French sevens squad and based on that I was going to suggest maybe he's not your average union forward. Then again check out where the French are in the IRB sevens league!

I cant say i noticed him at warrington is he any good? Wigan are apparantly "pouring cold water" on the speculation we are getting him

He played about 4 seasons maybe at Warrington and was always a reliable performer, he isnt the biggest guy around but he puts the effort in, and he can play prop or second row, the guy was signed from Canberra originally by Warrington. He's a decnet player, but by no means a world beater. If you followed rugby league, you wouldnt have to watch rugby union 7's to get some info on him, hes been playing in super league for about 4 years previous to last season.
