For the record guys, and as Geoff has kindly pointed out this post was intended as an April Fool.
Please read no further into Israel Folau signing for Wigan.
IMO he will most probably extend his contract with the Brisbane Bronco.
Hope this April 1 posting has not offended any members, as it was not meant to offend.

Couldn't agree more. I am a huge fan of Trent Barrett, but there is a big downside to signing a player who takes up a quarter of any clubs Salary Cap, not least the inevitable friction in the dressing room!

I'm more than happy with who we've got right now and who we can expect coming through the ranks!

This is an April Fool, not a rumour.
Would it be a good idea to "block it" now.
Thanks,
Mike.
