At centre I'm not as sure. Martin Gleeson is the only player in the UK of any quality at centre coming off contract. (I think)

From the NRL Lance Hohaia, Jerome Ropati and Iosia Soliola all have good reputations and would be good signings.

Yes we should go for Dobson when his contract runs out.

Pat Richards
Amos Roberts
Martin Gleeson
George Carmont
Sean Ainscough

Sam Tomkins
Thomas Leuluai

Stuart Fielden
Mark Riddell
Andy Lynch

Gareth Hock
Joel Tomkins

Sean O'loughlin

Feka Paleaasina

Keep Tommy on as a 9 or let him go?

I would have Scott Logan back easy.

He could drive the ball in really hard, gave away a few too many penalties though.






Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.

Scott Logan cut short his contract with us due to homesickness.
We won't see him playing for Wigan again.
Earlier this year it was rumoured Richard Moore was signed or about to do so. If that was true then IL & BN had plans to have four experienced props with Moore in addition to Feka, Fielden & Coley.
Not surprising they identified a need for a fourth prop as we are lacking power up front to an alarming degree.
If Coley goes then we'll need two props.
Only bringing in one to replace Coley won't take us any further forward than we are now.
One prop will give us a season in 2010 like we're having now.

I think this opinion owes more to hope than reality. I simply can't see Wigan signing two new props when they already have four. Even if they did, one of the current four - probably either Prescott or O'Carroll - would almost certainly leave, and then we'd be back in the same boat.

The best we can hope for, IMO, is one new prop - preferably a really good one.

going back to the richard moore rumour, i always thought he would have been a decent signing for us at the right price, but ive just been to the gym and he was there with a couple of the wakey players, the lad has lost an unbelievable amount of weight and bulk. hope he gets well soon. i went to the brennan rooney charity launch with work and he was there and was a huge unit, such a shame to see a drastic change in someone, chin up richard, you'll get there.

Do we need a scrum half or do we resign Tommy?

Do we need a centre? Depends if Carmont accepts an extension and how well Pryce and Goulding can settle into the side.

Do we need a fullback? Depends how well Ainscough settles into the squad.


Absolutely resign Tommy IMO. All his talk of Dobson actually puzzles me. Is it in any due to rose tinted sentimentality because IMO Tommy is the better of the 2?

Tommy is the better defender and broken play runner imo but looking at it from a purely who's the better SH i'd say Dobbo is more of a conventional SH and more like the type of player we need in our team. We have a few creative players but very few organisers. Dobbo at SH would be a good foil for Sam who will hopefully grow more into an attacking 6 who takes on defenders etc.

He just seems to do the basic rights e.g puts you in good field position with his kicks, marshals the team round the park and occasionally comes up with some spectacular plays e.g Hatrick against us and MOTM against Saints recently. A little bit like Burrow I guess who killed us on Friday by making the right decisions at the right times.

We play at our best imo when Tommy is running from DH when Riddell goes off as like I said before his broken field running could be the best in the league.

As harsh as it seems on Mcilorum my ideal team would be

6-Tomkins
7-Dobbo

9-Riddell
14-Tommy

Compare that to the likes of Saints and Leeds and it’s not that far off imo.
