Wigan linked with move for RL great Benji Marshall – while Salford want Joe Burgess
WIGAN are eyeing a move for New Zealand great Benji Marshall - while Joe Burgess may be set for a switch to Salford.
The Kiwi icon is thought to be looking to move to Super League for next season.
And SunSport understands the Warriors have registered their interest in the 35-year-old half-back, who is certain to have plenty of offers coming his way.
While winger Burgess is thought to be in the sights of the Red Devils for 2021.
Marshall would be a big name introduction that Wigan may be looking for if skipper Sean O’Loughlin and half-back Thomas Leuluai retire at the end of this year.
And his coach at current club Wests Tigers, Michael Maguire, is a former Warriors boss.
Speculation is also surrounding Jackson Hastings, with talk New Zealand Warriors want to take him back to the NRL and Harlequins are monitoring him with a view to taking him to rugby union.
Although sources close to the Great Britain international insist they have heard nothing.
Marshall captained his country at the end of last year against Great Britain and despite his age, he is still one of the biggest names available.
Reports in Australia linked him with a switch to the New York franchise, which is entering next year’s Challenge Cup before joining League One in 2022.
However, SunSport understands those are wide of the mark and no talks have taken place.
