How would he pay for himself? I cant see him increasing crowds massively.

Re: Let's get Owen!
These are two reasons not to trust people.
1. We don't know them.
2. We do know them.

Re: Let's get Owen!
And which winger would you leave out, to make way for him.
Not that I know if Farrell has any great pace for this position ?
Or was it all a wind up ?

Re: Let's get Owen!
Why would he want to come to Wigan?
Never in a million years!
From our perspective he would be worthwhile picking for his kicking, but he would take time to adjust to do himself justice.
Anyway never going to happen

Re: Let's get Owen!
Bet he would. Think of the national media attention. SBW and Owen Farrel in the SL! Would Maurice Lindsay have passed up a chance to entertain and stoke public interest at a time when the game needs those things more than ever? Even the hard core are losing interest. Who cares if we win if noones watching? The game needs appeal and star names give it that. We should jump at the chance and who cares which winger is dropped - who did Frano replace on the wing? This is an entertainment business not an old boys club.Caboosegg wrote:How would he pay for himself? I cant see him increasing crowds massively.

Dave Marshall, Liam's old man, that's who.

Let's go for it, Mike you have changed my mind
Re: Let's get Owen!
He didn't replace him in the sense Dave Marshall was dropped. DM's career was ended in 1990/91 season (the season Frano arrived) by a knee injury. We don't know how Monie (who wasn't keen on signing Frano anyway) would have fitted him in the team had DM's career not ended.bill.inger wrote: ↑Mon Jan 20, 2020 9:09 amDave Marshall, Liam's old man, that's who.Mike . wrote: Who did Frano replace on the wing?

Re: Let's get Owen!
Have very few reasons for signing Owen other than he can tackle hard, run some great angles and his passing/kicking game is great. (We have players who can do these things just as well, apart from the goal kicking)
Don’t think he would go too well in RL without being given a pre-season and time to bed in. So not worth us going down that route as he would only be here for a season on loan.

I would see Owen as a 1-2 year stop gap in the 13 shirt between lockers leaving an smithies coming of age
