I have to laugh when everyone keeps having pop at chris ashton but with regards to joel no one seems to be turning against him, at least ashton didnt sign a 5 year deal and then want out after not even a season and same so goes for sam no wonder we didnt get to grand final when them two have one eye on RU and you could see it in there performances. Signing with that james grant says all you need to no also he went to london two days before a big game messing about with someone from that management company probably discussing there union move.

Several more pages of people saying Joel has gone 100% and still no firm information? Well this thread is 5*

This rumours thread is just full of rumours ain't it? Pathetic.

As much as I would love to see Manu in a Wigan shirt it simply is not going to happen under the current restrictions we have in place regards the cap.

He would be a frightening talent in our code, he has the perfect build and attitude for a centre in rugby league, his ability to break the line would result in a boat load of tries, but quite simply, never going to happen.

While there's no chance at all he will be a Wigan player, that doesn't stop us enjoying this once again...........

If it is true Wigan are looking to sign Tuilagi then IL will be ahead of the game on this.
Wouldn't surprise me as he's not exactly done himself any favours on the England Union trip. The RFU are going to sort it out big time with Johnson and Tindal not being the only ones to suffer. Fran Cotton won't mess around and Tuilagi may find it better to be out of their game.
RL would be a good fit for him with his skills etc. They will just have to make sure he's disciplined enough off the field.

What makes you think he'd want to leave Leicester and all they can offer him in terms of RU, salary etc, even if he gets disciplined by the England RU team? It's not as if he's going to get more than a slap on the wrist anyway.

There's more chance of me having an orgy with the best looking women from Sky Sports News, than Tuilagi contemplating a move to RL, never mind it actually happening.

On the off chance that that does happen, give me a shout and I'll brave the M62 traffic to come and give you a hand.

You might be surprised, there are 6 SL clubs monitoring the situation, he is very unhappy at the moment and is open to offers. It could all be a ploy to get bigger wages but we will have to wait and see, Wigan/Leeds/Saints are all waiting for any further developments
