Wigan sign yet another overseas player : Tue Jul 12, 2011 12:54 pm  
Hull Kr, Crusaders and Catalans have all been criticised for having too many overseas players in their squad, yet I have not seen any critisim of Wigan, the sky team endlessly go on about their amazing youth development whenever they are on sky, yet the realitiy is Wigan have more overseas players than the vast majority of clubs. How on earth have they been allowed to add Ben Cross to their list?

Only Roberts is leaving I think. Isn't Carmont going to sign a new 1 year deal?
