Not anymore, they get told to watch 'home and away' and 'neighbours' to try and master the accent and try to get some aussie phrases into the Wigan dialect to help them progress through the ranks actually -

'Exuse me shiela, that pea wept is a ripper! Fair dinkum!

'Horeet lad, lets put another shrimp on the barby!

He played at Wigan St Pats, till he was 15, then moved, I know

You are Stefan Ratchford, and I claim my £5!

Not quite

but we did throw a oval shaped ball at one another

My next guess would be Flanagan, going off name and age

P22 of rumours thread

Here we go again

Good to see the guy is getting better(I would not wish ill health on anyone ) but keep well away. Look what happend with Davico when we signed him lasted 3 mins was it?
Hopefully he will get back to match fitness but not with wigan.

It's good to see Ross recovering well but if true, it just seems as though we're interested in him because he's ''damaged goods'' and we'll be able to pick him on the cheap.

I just find that really fustrating.

Let's hope it isn't true.

I agree.

It seems a very Lenagan style signing in that it's a gamble but it'll be cheap so it doesn't overly matter if it's a success.

We're really going to struggle to progress whilst we keep going for bargain bin signings.

As Long has now gone to Hull [urlhttp://www.hullfc.com/hullfc/contents/?p=3524[/url

Does that leave Wigan in the frame for Matt Orford.
