Did Wigan get any cash for Faz? Was he still on contract at the time? I think they got a decent wedge for him but can't be sure.

I know Ashton went for a fee.

I seem to recall figures around £1m being bandied about at the time, some from Saracens and some from thr RFU. It was a great move finanically for both Farrell and Wigan.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.

For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.

Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row

are your seriously suggesting that this sport is in a worse state than when wigan won everything? if not for the cap then how many decent players do you think you would have?????? The cap protects all clubs Leeds Rhinos are the shinning examples of this they have never broke the cap but are the top team in northern hemisphere at the moment and clubs like wakey are not in debt . The cap works unfortunately its just soured the goons grapes.


Have a look at the debacle that was the England RL World Cup performance for your answer.
