Briscoe

Got a hot rumour from a source inside the club, or just something you heard down the pub? Then what are you waiting for, post it on The Rumour Mill.

I like most other wigan fans would like to see him back but lets be realistic we need to spend money where it is urgently needed and thats in the forward department! Cant see the sense in spending money on another fullback when we have at least three players who can do a good job for us in that position. With Hock almost certanly gone and Baily Pally and also feilden on there way out we need some good forwards.Thats where we need to spend plus a good stand off would be nice then we can move luey to hooker and sam to scrum half

Perhaps nowhere but Feka is great going forward but in defence he is as bad as Smith and i am, a believer that a good defence wins you matches

It's like hearing that a high school crush always liked you and it's too late to go back. :(

Sean Long anyone?

Haven't seen a whole pile of him latley so maybe has improved.

He'd want to...

He didnt turn us down. When he left Hull FC his agent appraoched several Super League clubs, including Wigan, who said that they were not interested in him. He then signed for Hull KR.

About a week later Wigan changed their mind and stated their interest in signing him. He was desperate to go back to Wigan, terms of contract were not an issue. Hull KR however wanted £20k to release him from his contract and Wigan would not pay it.

Thats why he is at KR and not Wigan.
