Heard he's primed for a move to Aus to play reserve grade (his GF has just gotten a job over there). Anyone else heard this?

if thats true then i hope that it's only as part of this proposed link up with an aus club. Heard about his skill in the reserves but then i've been impressed with his defence in his first team appearances.

For a guy that is done he aint half been ripping it up in the NRL this year. Would be a good 12 month buy.

But you've already announced Danny Brough as our new half back for next season, so I think it unlikely we'll get Jones as well

According to Wigan Today, the Webb move has been held up by the driving ban issue. Sounds like a Visa may not be forthcoming for next year, despite Wigan getting in touch with the High Commission, etc.

Not saying it's true, just that it's on Wigan Today.

It would certainly explain the long delay.

Edit: Damn - Kirk beat me to it.

Given the fact we knew it would be a tricky issue I would be slighty put out if we did not have a Plan B for this turn of events.......Shane Tronc anyone....oh hang on another ship that has sailed.

IFL needs to deliver a top prop for 2010, even if we do miss out on Webb because of his failure to get the visa, he has had the time and opportunity and must have been aware that this was on the cards should it so prove to be correct.
