I'd find this story more credible had it not been for the fact that Bret has already confirmed his desire to stay here. If we don't re-sign him I'm damn sure some other SL club will!

Me too Kitt, we were only discussing this after the Easter Monday game.

Bilko reported yesterday that NRL on Fox have linked Soward with Wigan.

With Roberts, Tommy and more than likely Fielden off the cap at the end of the year and we don't need any more forwards or wingers. And as Josie has already been aware of on Facebook, I will get my todger out if Jamie Soward signs for Wigan

According to Loverugbyleague.com Wigan want Soward.

Thought this was just a way for Sowards agent to up the ante and get more dosh out of SGI for their man. It now seems like it could actually happen. Hope it does because he's class.

Finch and Soward half-backs, linked with the forwards we've got, happy days.

Shaun Wane guest on radio Manchester RL programme this evening and was asked by a listener about the Soward rumour.

Said not even discussed him with IL as got Finch for next season plus all the other local youngsters coming through who will be staking their claims.

May have been a smokescreen but Wane at least is honest and forthright with his answer, so this does appear a rumour and nothing more. I'm quite happy with finch and with his vast experience he'll be able to help along these younsters like Mellor and Russell, etc. to become fully established SL players for Wigan.

So Brett is getting a new contract?

That would be better than getting Soward. Soward does have an incredible kicking game though, much better than what we have and as good as anyone in the game possibly - hilarious pre-conversion dance aside

It shows Soward better than I initially thought he was 29wes28.
In the past he's been blasted for poor skills level and poor defence, but he shows plenty of skills in the highlights vid.
Soward also had a kicking comp against Daniel Halangahu of the New South Wales Waratahs RU and beat him hands down, see the link.
Would love to see the Chicken Dance at the DW.
