Was watching "Boots 'n' All Online" from last week (reviewing the Cas game) and Terry O'Connor was going on about us getting rid of to many good players and came up with this "Wigan Departed XIII"

1. Shaun Briscoe
2. Dave Hodgson
3. Paul Johnson
4. Chris Melling
5. Martin Aspinwall
6. Danny Orr
7. Luke Robinson
8. Jerome Guisset
9. Terry Newton
10. Danny Sculthorpe
11. Danny Tickle
12. Bryn Hargreaves
13. Stephen Wild

Just out of interest who out of that lot where we wrong to get rid off? And who if any would you have back now?

For me only Shaun Briscoe is a major loss. Newton maybe at the time although I think we got his best years out of him.

Thoughts?

I think Chris Melling would have made a really good fullback. He was also a very good captain of the academy team when he was at Wigan and a very good organiser.

It's a shame he got those bad injuries so early in his career.

Not in the thirteen but I can't help feel that we should have kept hold of Lee Gilmour.

I came up with an extremely similar team to that a few weeks ago Bilko and everyone shot me down about it. But i think it could challenge our current team. They have all gone on to achieve bigger and better things. I'd maybe move Johnson into 2nd row

They aren't great players but i'd still take some over the players we have now;

Newton over Riddell
Briscoe over Mathers
Guisset over Coley
Johnson/Wild over Bailey i think PJ is a better centre than both Wild and Bailey but Wild is still a quality player.
Dobson over Smith(does this one count btw?)

And possibles would include

Colbon over Phelps
Godwin over Mcilorum


Briscoe
Richards
Johnson
Carmont
Roberts
Tomkins
Dobson
Fielden
Newton
Guisset
Hansen
Lockers
Tomkins

Feka
Tommy/Godwin
Hock
Prescott

Is that a better team than we have now? Better halfs, Hooker, Props and a solid centre spot only 5 overseas imports also
