To see this is a trend I can easily get used to. Good on Wigan, Radlinski and Greg McCallum.

Wigan Warriors today announced that Kris Radlinski had turned down immense offers from Rugby Union to sign a new five-year deal with Wigan.
Wigan Chairman Maurice Lindsay today said:
"I am proud of Kris and all that he has achieved and it goes without saying that I am relieved that he has chosen to stay with us. He was faced with a mammoth offer from a leading Zurich Premiership Rugby Union Club, but in signing for us he has elected to stay with the club who signed him as a schoolboy. He has come right through the ranks starting in our Academy side to become not only an important member of our current Super League side but a mainstay of the Great Britain side. I am proud of all that he has achieved, but this is a great moment for both the club and I believe, Kris himself."
Lindsay continued:
"I am also delighted that Kris has been recognised as an important player by Club Great Britain. Greg McCallum is respected by all the players in our game and I should pay tribute to Greg for his support in this important signing."
Kris Radlinski said:
"I am delighted that the matter has been finally settled. Wigan is my home town and all I ever wanted to do was don the famous Cherry and White and follow in the footsteps of my heroes who I used to watch on the terraces at Central Park. This is a great club and I want to be part of the teamâs ambitions to get better and better."
RFL Director of Football Greg McCallum said:
"This is a great announcement by Wigan and I am also happy to have given my personal support. Club Great Britain is a good concept and players like Kieron Cunningham and Kris Radlinski are worthy of the recognition and support they have received."
