It's all a bit moot really isn't it apart from fun speculation, IL isn't going to pay for one of them out of his own pocket and the falling attendances means the club can't afford any of them anyway.

Was it Eddie Jones that Stevo was having banter with before the Wigan v Bath game at Twikers?

When England won a grand slam you had Alex Murphy in the National press stating how much the players would be worth in league. The figures he quoted were embarrassing.

According to Will Carling's autobiography, Leeds offered him a million quid to join them, and that was back in the early 1990s.

Rumoured at the time that he was afraid of getting hurt by the tougher tackling of the Wigan players.

If true, what a coward!
