Is it 'is or has'?? That should give it away!! If they are that confident surely they would know!!

Don't panic
A. He loves Wigan
B. Can you really see him playing against his brothers
C. He isn't ugly enough by a country mile to play for Wire

I think this announcement was dependent upon the RTS announcement (who IMO is potentially a far better FB) and then a marquee rule announcement.
I think that we will make room for him under the salary cap. A further player may come in under the marquee rule - now that would be exciting! One worry I do have is how we would also sign up Rocky to a good deal and still be under the cap? We are also rumoured to be looking at Percival at Saints, so some players may have to leave.
