    Why do I think you will regret saying that.

    No idea.

    Going from Thomas Leuluai, a superb defensive half back and quality organiser with plenty of top level experience to Matty Smith is an absolute step down, simple as that.

    There are very few players on this earth that would be a level move or higher. I'm glad to see Wigan invest in British youth.

    Soward and Smith together sounds a very good combination to me. Certainly miles better than Hohaia and Lomax.

    I have a bad feeling the rumours will be true and Smith will be replacing McIlorum at hooker with Brough/Soward at half back. I hope not as McIlorum is vital to Wigan at present

    Its admirable to see them sign British. I would think the primary reason why they are doing so is because the chance of attracting a quality Aus/Kiwi half with the salaries on offer now is very, very minimal.

    True. Especially if the other lad they sign for the halves is from down under.

    What rumours are those regarding McIllorum Baz?

    Wigan sign a Saints cast-off? Surely not.

    I don't get why either team would want Smith. Salfords main playmaker is Holdsworth. He is the better player, why not sign him instead.
    I could agree with you but then we would both be wrong.

    I imagine we want Matty for his kicking game, we will still have Tomkins and possibly Brough/Chase to do the playmaking

    Where has the Brough rumour come from? Surely there would be a sizeable fee involved if he still under contract?
    NEVER WRITE OFF THE SAINTS

    I would imagine so, but that is the strongest rumour I have heard, the Soward one has gone quiet
