Hmmm maybe we are getting rid of Karl Pryce and Signing Thomas in his place to put out on loan at Quins?!?!?
That would be okay :wink:

It really is a joke but more than likely true. Thomas is not a Wigan RL standard player and signing him is a complete waste of our time and energy given his age.

I personally cant really see how he can benefit us in any way, shape or form and really hope this is not true.

Incidentally could this be a term of Iestyn Harris' maybe Harris wants him as an assistant to himself for the Wales set up once he hangs his boots up?

Blah Blah Speculation Blah Blah still dont want him at our club!

btw, Wigan will NOT be paying his salary!!!!!!!

Who will be paying his salary NSDU.
Seriously hope this OAP is not part of our salary cap.
This is my first doubt of IL's decision making if it is true. :(

Apparently, the RFL pay his salary and have done so previously.

I'd much prefer the RFL paid Fui Fui Moi Moi's salary and let HIM play for us.
I'd definitely buy a home and away shirt then! :)

Going to be some team with him and Epalahame Lauaki in it.

Wonder what the odd's are on us re-signing Dennis Moran?

Can't see him playing any first team. Perhaps his experience and knowledge is being taken advantage of to help the juniors? (if this rumour turns out to be true).

If this is true then IMO the most famous club in Rugby League has sold itself into prostitution!
