MILLWARD TAKING A LOOK AT LUKE

[chorleywarrior]

New Zealand union international Luke McAlister has emerged as a target for engage Super League outfit Wigan.

Warriors coach Ian Millward, who enticed NRL star Iafeta Palea'asina from the Auckland-based New Zealand Warriors this month, is now trailing McAlister, whose father played rugby league in England during the 1990s.

McAlister has penned a three-year contract with the New Zealand Rugby Union, but Australian Millward is keen to sign the 21-year-old, who was a league representative for Lancashire in his youth.

Millward told the Sunday News: "When I saw him play I went straight on the phone to club chairman Maurice Lindsay. I wanted to know what chance there was of bringing him to Wigan."

It's a quote from someone at the club, rather than a rumour posted on an Aussie site, is that ok for you Damien ?

It would be if we could sign him unfortunatly he dooesnt want to sign for us according to an informed poster on the site,sorry cant remember who. Wasnt trying to be dismisive on my post but think that he would balance out the side for next year but the signing looks unlikely and this makes me tetchy.The potential for us with this lad would be phenominal.

I understand your frustrations IF it is old news but I saw it on Sporting Life this morning so I can't really see it being that old,on a positive note if Millward did pull this signing off one thing for sure is we are going to have some really big lads in our Squad next season which is what Wigan have needed for a long time I personally think that has been one of our downfalls for quite a few years!!!
