imo, fielden is finished and he is draggin our team down with his inept, overpaid performaces
Props are what we need and a 7 for a start. Please relax when it comes to the 3-quarter line, we could argue ours is the best in the league.
We need an old school coach who knows the game inside out, someone who saw the Wigan glory days and knows exactly what the club is all about. A coach that demands respect and will take no cr@p from players who fall short.

True enough.
Carmonts that good he'd run the ball over to him and plonk it in his hands near the line allowing Meli to fall over the line......................abit like Gidley does with that waster Gardner
Said that a while ago, drop Fielden, play a young lad!! Ben Davies?? If he made a metre in each tackle it’s more that Fielden’s input!
When do Wigan youngsters get a chance at playing for the 1st team??
Ainscough -- Play your booty off in the Reserves, ready for SL and we sign Roberts…. Nice, had to wait for an injury!!
S. Tomkins -- Had to wait until the fans got on the coaches back to play him, as well as having to wait, until the coach realised we don’t have a quality 6.
Mossop -- I’d rather have him then Hansen any day!
But relating back to my Carmont comment, instead of Goulding, how about Ian Thornley? ? One for the future, give them the experience, whilst there’s no relegation.
Stick O’Loughlin in the Second Row and give Flanny ago!
Not saying make all these chances, but why can’t we just try these sort of ideas out? Whilst there’s no relegation..
But then again Wigan youngsters!! Play your booty off in the reserve’s and training, leave to another team, then get begged to come back, when you’ve lost you heart for the Wigan badge!! i.e. Briscoe, Robinson, Wild, Tickle

If Thornely is a s good as people say he'll still be a couple of years of being a fully fedged superleague player. He'll get his opportunities in pre season games, cup games and when players are injured in the next couple of seasons and then hopefully will be ready to take over from Carmont in the 2012 season when he'll still only be about 19 i believe.
Thats surely what the club should be aiming at instead of saying bin Carmont off and throw an unproven player in.

I would imagine that the clubs ideal target is Pryce to replace Carmont and then Thornley to replace Gleeson or move to the second row.

Well said!! Although I would sooner see Joel given a real run at 13 over Flanny.
Woooooooo!!! I told off for mentioning Gleeson to left wing and Carmont to right wing, something about Gleeson is right handed and Carmont left handed, so Thornley can't replace Gleeson, he's a left centre
Rugby League it's about taking risks!!
Playing unproven players works!! *cough -- S. Tomkins -- cough*
Leeds did it with Burrows (Unproven when he first started in such a key role) L. Smith (FullBack, Unproven) Gibson and R. Hall (both Unproven) doing the job tho.... We should do it
Let FIELDEN get battered in the Reserves for a week or two lol
