There is a feeling inside the club that Farrell is closer than ever, they're optimistic it gets done.
Bloody hope not I won’t be happy signing a 32 year old ex RU player!

Read somewhere that Kavan Rothwell is leaving for Leigh.

Ah there is a thread on this already

Think I may put O’Loughlin 13 back on my shirt, at least I knew he wouldn’t leave me for the NRL

No need for these sorts of statements Josie. Smithies is an exceptional player and is/was my current favourite player. I love his all action play and he's really grown, in my mind, into a top class 13 and I'm absolutely gutted he's leaving. But you can't be annoyed at a young man wanting to see what else their is outside Wigan and outside this league. The NRL is a completely different kettle of fish. Not only for him financially, but in terms of quality, exposure and a completely different lifestyle.

Well, I am not happy. It would be interesting to see the terms attached to this deal. I was hoping that we had turned a corner and players would have to see their contract out before going to the NRL.

Who are you unhappy with? The player or the club?

Sod off you he was more than good enough I’ve told you before! I’ve just replied to a message from Rads saying the same thing. He sent me a picture of me & my friends from the game 😊
