Agree with that, I would love to have Colbon in the squad instead of Mathers. Centres are more important than wingers and I would rather have a world class centre with Colbon on the wing that a winger with and average centre.

So, yes, my argument is very convincing.
Isn't McGuire younger than Pryce thus putting a hole in your original statement re not giving young players a chance?

[quote="jonh"]Each you player needs handling differently, there is no right or wrong in this debate, there is no set model for every young player, each player needs bringing through and developing at a rate solely specific to them. quote]
I totally agree.
I'd add that where Wigan have got it wrong in recent years is not handling the off the field issues that adversely affect some young players (I'm not talking Sean Long here BTW). At 16 to 18 years of age, some of these kids are the main bread winners in their family, bringing-up younger siblings etc and, therefore, face serious off the field pressures - some of these kids are now first team players at other SL clubs.

Im not doing it, but think people who do have a pop at him are entitled to their opinion. Some people have yet to accept that we are not going to be as dominant as we once were.
