Having thought about it I think its more likely to be a Morgan Smithies contract extension.

I get the sentiment with Owen Farrell but I’m not sure signing a 30 something RU player who’s not played league since he was a kid is great news for the game?

Latics have just announced a new manager, given a couple have said the podcast is c*** and usually just blowing hot air has he got the whole thing wrong, and we are in for a boring day instead

Great shout.

His contract is up.

Smithies is back in for preseason

Would would Harrison need to be there

Harrison talks up his players massively (it’s his job)

Happy enough with that

I can't see it being Farrell. Isn't he in the cusp of breaking some international points scoring record. Not a chance he's going to pass up the chance of that legacy. I guess time will tell. I'm not sure how credible the podcasts are. I don't listen to too many ti compare but stumbled across that one and just wondered if anyone in the know with the club might have heard some whisperings.......other than Dan

Possibly a big name signing? JWH or Frizell.

Harrison would be in danger of being laughed out and potentially ridiculed for such comments. Smithies extension would be good news for Wigan but certainly not in the way he mentioned.

Half back . Superleague . Yorkshire based . Great signing

Think he gets ridiculed a lot anyway. He promotes his players so much, makes out Toby King is prime Greg Inglis for example.

Also he’s only recently discovered how to pronounce SAL-ford. Mick and Jimmy on that show provide good insight but Harrison and his son are a few sandwiches short of a picnic.

What else could it be?

Stadium no chance

Owen Faz no chance.
