We're lucky now that we have some great wing options to cover his loss in that position like Roberts, Ainscough and Pryce.

I agree. I thought earlier on in the season (only been 5 games!) that we needed to recruit a fullback but given Pat Richards ability at fullback and the strength we have out wide on the wings I think we should give the number 1 jersey to Richards next season and just release Mathers and have Roberts and Ainscough covering the wings.

The only thing I would like to see Pat do is make more runs into the attacking line in anticipation of an offload or a ball back on the inside. A bit like Celtic Crusaders do with Tony Duggan.

I've always thought that in time Richards will start to do alot more of that as he gains experience in the position.

I thought we saw last Saturday that he's capable of it.

Should Wigan go after Martin Gleeson for next year.
He is OOC at the end of this year so will be available unless the Wire re-sign him.
He did express a wish to play in Aus but there don't seem to be any takers.
After the World Cup shambles perhaps British players are not now on their radar.
Tim Sheens mentioned that Ellis needed to learn the basics of Rugby League. That from the most experienced NRL coach about a GB/England established International.
Since then Sheens been appointed their National Coach.
If Gleeson doesn't go to Australia should we go for him?
If signed he would come to the club as a federation trained player, we've plenty room for those!
Thoughts please.

IMO i'd say yes.

I'm sure SL will see a marked improvement in Gleeson this season under Smith. He's defiantly gone backwards under Cullen and Lowes which is very understandable given their obvious limitations as coaches and man managers. I’ve heard people say Smith is more a disciplinarian which means he’s gonna have the Warrington bad boy behaviour reigned in big time.

Gleeson would do more than a good job at Wigan.

winning like never before. decoys. mouse traps. chicken wings. lollie pops. shepperds. the crusher. grapples. big league. In 1935 The Dragon Slayers as they were known defeated Canterbury bulldogs 91-6, which is still the biggest win in the Club's History. In 1907, the St George district had a club in the Sydney rugby union competition. Interestingly, the team's area was referred to as the 'Illawarra suburbs'. A resolution to form a St George rugby league club was made at a local meeting held in early 1908, but the movement faltered and collapsed. St George, wearing the district colours of red and white, played in the NSWRL's Third Grade competition in 1910, and formed a President's Cup team in 1911. References were found at the time to district teams being called 'The Saints'.the perfect 11

Gleeson wanted to come to Wigan when he was leaving Saints but they wouldn't allow it.

He's a Wigan lad and a very talented player. He's probably capable of producing better displays then he has been recently but i reckon a move to Wigan would bring out the best in him.

I'd love us to sign him without doubt.

Putting aside his off field activities for the moment, he's a quality British centre and they are few and far between. Certainly worth approaching the agent and enquiring but I reckon he'll get his wish of a move to Australia.

Realistically if we got Gleeson & LMS in this pre season we will be onto a winner. I’m sure it would be very achievable to get these two in as well…..

Richards
Ainscough
Gleeson
Carmont
Roberts
Tomkins
Tommy
Fielden
Riddell
LMS
Hock
Tomkins
Lockers

Feka
Hansen
Mcilorum
Prescott/O’Carroll

Dobson brought in the season after that and we are laughing……….

Easy this recruitment stuff



:wink:
