Rumours about Graham seem hardly believeable, that Saints would let such a talented player go.
What bothers me more is Eastmond.
He is ooc 2010 and Union are already sniffing. I do hope that if Saints can't afford to keep him, rather than just let him to go to Union I hope they allow other Rugby League clubs to offer him a contract to keep him in the game.
Under the current rules no League club could approach Eastmond until after 1st Septmeber 2010 but he could be signed up long before then by Union. If a League club made an offer to the player before 1st Septmeber then Saints could report them to the RFL, they be fined and his registration withheld.
This would be a massive decision by Saints but I hope it's one they would consider if they felt he was not going to stay at their club. As a Wigan fan obviously I'd love him to come here but if not I'd rather he went to Leeds or another League club, anything but lose the lad to Union!

If we land Graham Ian Lenegan will get the keys to the town.

If we get Graham and off load Fielden he will go down in folklaw

If we get Graham and off load Fielden and free some money on the salary cap I will expect Inglis, Hayne, Moi Moi and Slater next year no bother.

In Ian we trust.

We aren't signing Graham, how this rumour is still going on is beyond belief.

How do you work that one out?

I know we've been through this before and nothing is set in stone in regards to Hock but I'd take him back!

Bringing Hock back means we get a good player on a cheap wedge and other cap space can be invested more easy elsewhere!

If signing Hock means we can outbid Saints for Eastmond then it's a no brainer for me
