The reason for that is probably because no one has ruled out Wigan signing him despite the fact most think it would be a very bad move.
Probably has something to do with the fact the club has made other less than inspiring signings over recent seasons and he fits the bill.
I know the saying about smoke & fire, but how did this rumour get legs and why in all this time has nothing of substance emerged, despite denials from Leigh, on any approach being made ?
Agents/players are very good to nurturing rumours. To the best of my knowledge Wigan did ask about Beswick but were not interested when Leigh mentioned a transfer fee.
There must be some very talented 9's in the NRL. The Rabbitohs brought one in this season and he looks class. I daresay there are several reserve and below class hookers in Aus/NZ. Remember Dobson was just that in Aus.
Don't see it with Beswick at all.
I'd prefer Waney to rotate his halves between 6,7 & 9 anyway. We have Powell, Smith and Williams and it would have been even better if we had Hampshire but that's not to be.
