I watched James Graham's podcast on the sort of squad Perth Bears could build and couldn't help but laugh at his list of English based players they should target-They were Bevan French, Harry Smith, Luke Thompson and Junior Nsemba. It's almost as though he'd like to see this Wigan team broken up! Funnily enough there was no mention of Jack Welsby, Harry Robertson or Matty Lees or guys from other clubs like Mikey Lewis, Matty Ashton or George Williams.
I'm more amused by Perth's apparent preferred choice for head coach.
They must be easily pleased if Big Sam is the height of their ambition.
Still, I hope they get him. If they do, that should count against thinking man's players like the four you mention heading over there any time soon.
It's a funny old world the NRL and how little they think of anything Superleague! He's had a couple of moments Burgess as Wire coach but there's no doubt it's a Rooney/Gerrard/Lampard style appointment of picking on playing reputation, ahead of a coaching one. Anybody with decent knowledge and respect of Superleague would be targeting Peet, Peters or even somebody like Rowley above Burgess at the minute.
