| Quote thepriestman85="thepriestman85"The only thing Bradford may have is more cap room and they have a couple of ex Quins players there.
Other than that i really don't know why a player wouldn't pick us over Bradford as we seem better in most areas
Training facilities
Final league standings
Cup runs
Stadia
Players
Juniors
Coaches
If you really had to look at it from and unbiased view point 99% of the time you'd pick Wigan over Bradford imo as we are in a much stronger position.'"
I'd agree with all of the above"Waiting for irate Bulls fan to turn up".
The only reason that I can see him going to Bradford over us is larger salary and possibly ex-quins player being there, I just hope that if this is more than just a rumour that we actually make a move for him. |

Either way with IL having very close ties with Quins he'll know if Bradford are sniffing around he'll also know
-How much they've offered,
-What he's currently on wages wise
We should in theory be on much stronger negotiating grounds with the previous history IL has with him and the enthusiasm Wane shows.
BTW can IL not just offer his quins counter part a transfer fee and then accept it himself and walk away with the dosh? You know Whelan would have done it'"
All of the above are reasons/suppositions why I'd be surprised if we bid for LMS at all. As IL has interests in both clubs transferring a player from one to the other would probably be seen in a very dim light by the RFL.
Mind you it never stopped the Hethrington's with Hull and Leeds...

It's neither Wigan's or IL's problem tho imo. If they RFL approved his takeover of Wigan then it's their problem not ours.
At the end of the day we've as much of a right to bid for anyone as say Bradford have. |

You and I often sing from the same hymn sheet.

How do you know what the terms of IL owning two teams were? As far as I know he has not found a buyer for his shares in Quins.
While he has stepped back from running Quins completely if he still technically owns them regardless of what right we have to bid I'd expect him to play the politically correct game and not do so.
IL is not one to incur the wrath of the RFL nor do stuff that would get Wigan seen as returning to Mo's ruthless ways IMO.

IL is not stupid enough to go into an agreement which puts him at a disadvantage to the rest of SL
With the way the RFL has bankrolled and brought Quins back from the brink of death on more than one occasion the last thing they would do is force a backer of Quins to pull out of them by trying to force his hand or put restrictions on him. If it was any other club imo that IL would have owned previously to buying Wigan the RFL would have been a hell of a lot more tough with him.
Obviously this is all just speculation on both parts from me and you Dave but I’d tend to believe that if a player was at Quins who IL really wanted we’d go for him if other clubs were sniffing around. |
