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.

Let's get real, Jon. We're not going to tap up two top props in case only one of them will be able to come.

Its not looking good on the webb front

It's not looking good on the whole recruitment front, perhaps at the fans forum Lenegan might give us some updates on whether we'll be signing anyone or no one, after all he can say whether were chasing a prop and a halfback or both with out naming names.

In normal circumstances no, but given it was always a long shot to bring Webb over, i would not be happy if we had invested all our hopes in an outside bet, we must have other options available to explore and not be straight back to the drawing board if it is confirmed he cannot get a visa.

So he will be 30 when he signs for wigan.

Sounds about right.

Just seen on SSN that Leeds have signed Delaney from Gold Coast so could they be letting a prop go or is it an addition?
