Why are we gonna buy him when Shaun Edwards is there at Wasps?
I would have thought that made it more likely?
If the lad is disgruntled at not progressing and is maybe looking for 'a new challenge' the Edwards link to Wigan would make a move more logical.
Although I do agree its not an area we are struggling in at the moment. Maybe Noble is looking to mould the right player into a Leslie Vainokolo style winger.
We are talking pure rumour it has to be said but at least it passes the day!
Maybe so, but given England recent fortunes (or lack off) in RU, he may get the opportunity if the RFU see sense. I understand why players would come from league to union but the financial implications of the reverse for such a youngster seems pointless, plus the expense of moving himself and family to Wigan seems unlikely.
He has been on the fringe of the England team though as he has played quite a few 'A' games (do Wales have a team any more? haha!!) and a few baa-baa games, he seems likely to be given a chance soon.
Faz hasn't had his day, he's using his brain, sitting on the sideline with knee injuries whilst getting paid far more, that's clever if you ask me. Seriously i hope he suceeds in either code. He did brilliantly and bravely helped us through some of the roughest times and we could have been embroiled in relegation battles more than just this season. A true ledgend and im sure he could still do a job for us.

For a start i was not slagging faz off, i just think it would be a mistake if he came back to wigan, seriously he has been out of league for well over a year now and has been training to play an inferior sport, how long would it take him to get back up to league standards and he is only getting older, look at Rads comming out of retirement, it was a fantastic thing that Kris did and probably had a lot to do with us avoiding relegatiuon, but can you really say that he played like the Kris that was here a few years ago, no, and i feel any performance that while Faz would give his all, his performances might not be up to scratch

Well comparing a back to a forward is a bit ridiculous and Faz could cope, he is taking his time because he adjusting to different environments and tactics. He could cope in a return match im sure and would be an asset to any rugby team still and he has not retired for a while unlike Rads.
Plus Rads did a great job and was not ready to return in all honesty and Faz can be and his career is not over either.
