This has been said before. Not good if Maguire is tapping up our players.

Leuluai is keen to return to the NRL for the first time since 2004 and sought permission to leave the Warriors before his contract expired. However, the Super League powerhouse wasn't prepared to grant him an early release." This is not good from Madge if true. The underlined word is the most relevant one for me

Dirtbag - I agree, after the great year we had last year I dont want to give Madge a bad rap but I think the club needs to comment on this and refute it.

If they dont deny it we can only assume it is true. If it is true, the club needs to seriously question whether our current coach should continue.

I heard direct from The Insider that Leluai and Richards were the players Maguire wanted to go to Souths with him. I guess he saw them as realistic targets to make the move to the NRL.

Even if it were true, why would sacking him stop him from asking current Wigan players to move to Souths next year?

In a similar situation in business, as soon as you declare you are moving to a competitor, you are given gardening leave or allowed to leave immediately.

A sensible line of thought.

So Madge approaches IL and says: "When I leave, can I take Tommy with me?" IL says: "No".

Is that really so controversial?
