WIGAN Warriors have denied claims that Brisbane Broncos have an option on Aussie ace Wendell Sailor.

"We don't know anything about that," said vice-chairman John Martin. "We told Brisbane we opened free and open talks with Sailor and his agent. There would have been no point talking to him if we had known about an option.

"The deal is still on and Sailor will join us at the end of his contract."

Broncos claim they have an option on Sailor until the year 2000.
