:lol: Slightly OTT. I dont believe in all this bought our success rubbish you look at the players that played for Wigan during that glorious era. The vast majority came through the Wigan academy and wanted to play for Wigan.

Kris Radlinski, Andy Farrell , Terry O'connor , Mick Cassidy , Sean Edwards , Andy Gregory, Andy Platt , Phil CLarke , Denis Betts.

Platt came from Saints and Greg from Warrington mate, and that is nowhere near a vast majority...

Irrefutable evidence. If they reported the World is flat, would you believe that too?

Its probably a fair whack though - he's the worlds best centre - and came to the highest bidder.

The World's best centre has spent this evening in Tony Clubb's back pocket

the lad played well!

Tony Clubb made Matt King look scared of getting hit all evening.

Plus he made a few foraging runs, leaving the Test centre in his wake.

A decent youngster from Kent makes an Australian international look very, very average.

very nice to see that the majority of the squad are british players too.

Definately not a top centre as is being claimed from certain people. For his size he looks incredibly weak, particularly in defence.

physically weak or technically in defence?

He is a big lad and so he could be coached to use that size better.

He flew out the line and dominated Matt King, on other days he may have missed him and been caught out, not today.

He is raw. Some people see him moving into the second-row at some stage of his career. At this moment he is a hard-working youngster who has potential, a good solid centre or winger.
