Jamie Rooney is a player I would love to see at Wigan!!! If he'd played for any team half decent in the last 3-4 years he'd be in the international set-up without a doubt!

I agree that the chances of getting a world class Aussie stand off who is only around 26 years of age is extremely remote.
Who would you suggest? You seem to have an answer for most other things.
And I think you missed my sarcasm!
At least the names mentioned are better prospects than the player's coming over here for a pension.
I too have been very impressed with Bosc.

Sorry, I think it's cos the tone of someone's voice can't be heard when just reading a thread on a message bored.

i heard that monaghan and king from wire were unhappy and were considering askin for a release. If barrett leaves then the money is available. not sayin monaghan is as good as barrett but he is a class act

I would have thought that if they are unhappy at wire then they will be going home - not moving a few miles down the road.

If we want anyone remotely any good at stand off next season the club is going to have to pay a high wage whether it likes it or not.
Every players agent knows we need a stand off so are hardly going to accept what we or IL might think is a reasonable offer.
It's a sellers market and agents trying to flog us a stand off will know this. They will know we need a new 6 so it's simple economics that this will push the price in wages that they can demand up.
