If there's anything in this, and its a current world cup player, they usually wait until after the WC to annouce anything now.
Hopefully not another Paul Koloi.

Its a back up/ utility half we are short of
Not a single "big name" in world rugby will play a utility role unless they are completely finished & wanting one last contract. In that case, they probably have Wire on speed dial.

You would hope that any big name player that we are going all out for would be playing in the WC.
The safest bet would be
Luke Thompson based on Dan's information about him being a 2023 priority in the past & the fact that a current player that Dan has connections to -- realistically likely to be English -- is saying they know them.
Another layer would be to look at Wigan's signings under Peet. His main ones have been proven but young players with squad fillers being more experienced players so I would expect that trend to continue. Any 30+ year old NRL veteran looking for 6 figures doesn't seem too logical.
