"A rugby union legend for England, Farrell came up short of World Cup glory at the semi-final stage despite a superb performance against South Africa from the Fly-half.
The Wigan born star has often been linked to Wigan and fans believed after the World Cup he would join Wigan and Smithies departure sent the rumours and the hopes of Wigan fans into absolute overdrive.
However, it would immediately seem that those hopes had been emphatically ended with an images immediately emerging of Farrell back at Saracens after the World Cup.
One fan said, “That’s not a Wigan kit,” whilst another said, “I thought he was signing for Wigan.”
Since then, Farrell has made his return to the pitch with Saracens featuring against Leicester Tigers on Saturday. This would be a very odd move if he was set to make the switch.
Furthermore, it is understood that there was never any formal interest from Wigan in the England flyhalf meaning the dreams of Wigan fans were just dreams. A case of putting two and two together and getting five.
The question will likely persist however until Farrell formerly retires from rugby. It would be a major moment for British rugby league if Wigan or indeed any club could acquire his services but that will likely never happen.
Now would have been the moment for Farrell, after a World Cup and replacing Morgan Smithies. But his committed to the 15 man code remains the same. He has shown he is still committed to Saracens and reports have also emerged revealing that he is still in plans for the next World Cup in 2027 down under.
After that, there may be a small window of opportunity to make the switch but by then the moment could have well and truly passed us all by.

SARL articles aren’t worth posting Josie. They just make things up and have no sources.josie andrews wrote: ↑Thu Nov 09, 2023 7:52 am Wigan Warriors fans’ hopes of signing Owen Farrell crushed

That's assuming he's offer anything meaningful now I'm not against the lad at all but I'm a cynic at 32 years old having played union all of his life it's a massive ask for anyone..Wigan_forever1985 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 10, 2023 10:08 am I think its now or never for the Farrell idea any older than he is now and he wouldnt contribute anything
