IL is going to invoke his right as owner of the Club and move the whole Wigan Franchise to London.

Great idea! Much more convenient for me!

Only trouble, is, the beer wouldn't be at Wigan prices...

Presume he means Sarginson, Charnley and Bateman are following Hampshire out the door (all the rumours that go round now and again).

It's a sign of how strong we are that we'd still cope.

You can always cope, but I'd hate to see Bateman go.

Hampshire will be signing a contract extension with Wigan by the end of the season.

Chris Bridge rumour getting stronger - I just wonder whether Wigan know about an imminent move by Bath/Saracens for Sarge, hence why they give him a deal to at least get some fee. Just a thought.

Ratchford is a great player IMO but I think we'd struggle to play him in the position he's most effective in at Wire, FB.

In other news, Frank Puletua signed for Hull FC on a 3 year deal. He's 31 but will still be one of SL's best back rowers, good signing. Krisnan Inu rumoured to be following him over to Hull too - he's had his issues but he's a quality talent.

Obviously it's not working out in Union for Inu.

I remember that bloke! He used to hang around outside Central Park and confront my dad on our way in! It would be great to have him back outside the DW Stadium. He always used to remind of that Peter Cook sketch from Beyond The Fringe...

I think it's Frank Pritchard who has signed for Hull.

These fellers were especially at CP when we changed from playing Saturday afternoons to playing on Sundays. He/they used to call us all sinners. They often used to stand on a box to berate us all. Harmless enough, but I admired them as they took some 'stick' from the CP faithful. Me and my Dad used to have a joke with them and agree, that we were all sinners. We'd just turned out of the Balcarres so sinners is what we were.

Anyone know which Christian group they belonged to ?
