General Rumours!
Posted: Wed May 30, 2007 8:55 pm
I own a fishery in Wigan so tend to get some rugby league players, trainers, scouts and general people involved with clubs like Wigan, Warrington, Salford and Widnes on a regular basis! Because of this, and my obvious passion for the game, i sepend most of my time chatting rugby to people on the fishery! Therefore, as you can imagine i get to hear a lot of stories and runours around the clubs! Some i suspect are just rubbish while others seem to carry more weight! A couple of the Wigan trainers are regular visitors, so i very often get my fill of information from them!
So here is what i have recently been told:
From a number of reliable sources involved with both Wigan and Salford, Andy Coley is said to be %100 on board at Wigan next season! The club had even looked at bringing him in at some stage this season, but he is said to be a dead sert for next year!
The same goes for Shaun Briscoe, i was even told that this was being finalised about the 2 - 3 week into the season, when Briscoe was 'dropped' for a week or two due to a 'lack of form'
The players about two weeks ago at Wigan were all talking about Jason Ryles over lunch! A trainer at Wigan was in the room at the time and said it was being discussed by all!
In the more 'unreliable' or 'not to be believed' category of rumours, John Martin (is he still a director at Wigan?) who knows my dad quite well, told us both just a month back that we should expect to see Peacock in a Wigan shirt next season!!! He was very assured about this i must add!
So i just thought i would share with you all what i get to here day in day out! Please don't shoot me down, as like i say as yet they are just rumours i here. However, i will say this, the Briscoe and Coley runours i do here on a regular basis from people who are genuinely involved with clubs like Wigan, Salford, Warrington!
