Because those other sides haven't applied for cap changes.

Wigan demanded cap changes supposidly to keep English players in the game. They were given £100k of allowances based on players provided to the England Elite players list. They then spent all of said allowance on 5 players, a total of 0 of which are eligible for England selection.

Do you not see something where I'm coming from?

We spent all of said allowance on keeping Sam Tomkins in rugby league, of which I'm sure you're grateful. You can draw it up however you like. Wigan aren't breaking any rules, no matter how much you'd like to think they are. Like bondi_warrior says, maybe Saints should have gone cap in hand to the RFL last off-season in an effort to keep Kyle Eastmond in rugby league? Instead of spending his cap space on Lance Hohaia?

I wouldn't call what he did a mistake. If he does sign it will be interesting to see the reaction from Wigan fans after what was said when Joel Monaghan signed for us last year after one 'mistake.'

I wouldn't bother comparing either to be honest. Neither are things to be proud of and both are unacceptable

I wouldn't be telling my family anything if I'd done either. I'm not saying there's a comparison either. Just I seem to remember that some Wigan fans were virtually demanding Joel be burnt at the stake. By the way, I didn't know dogs liked peanut butter.

common knowledge if you like films like american pie (but i guess dont trust films?). i dont think he should be burnt at the stake but i think it was vile thing to do but pooing in a night club it just a act of immerturity and all round n0b head. but if you have ever been in a club with players in there you will see the majority of them are n0b's

Last time I looked it was a rumour in the Sun, so unless that is now the official website for Wigan RL I'd say you're jumping the gun a bit to start being selective about quotes, especially when the selective bit was made-up in the first place.

Fair enough, obviously if this isn't true then there's nothing to see here. If it is true then I think the sentiment still rings true - last week Leneghan was talking wanting to give young British players a chance in relation to off-season signings (specifically in relation to the centre position), and so clearly if he signed a centre from down-under a week later this would seem strange.

Anyway, we'll wait and see.

You'll be glad to hear those young British centres are either in the squad for next season already or were signed today in the case of a certain Rhodri Lloyd, an 18 year old from South Wales Scorpions.
