Think at the moment Griffin is on the cards not Moore, or so i keep hearing.
Unofficially the most boring poster on Cherry and White.

Fell out with Nathan Brown at the start of the season, needs to work harder in defence but go forward and aggression he has bucket fulls.
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.

Hopefully, all his family and girlfriends family are from Wigan/St Helens so that would sway it.

I know it won't be done, because IL will lose money, but players like T. Smith, Bailey, Phelps, players who will go at the end of the season, should not put on the Wigan shirt again.
Why is Mossop good enough for a top 4 team but not a 7th and under? Currently Mossop would cover what Bailey gives.
Briscoe would love to put that No1 cherry and white shirt on again, if we had the right coach. Think with a coach like Morgan, we'd have him at Wigan next season without a doubt.
The number 7 shirt, I think Myler as to be introduced to the side, yes Wire are in for him, but the crowds they get, the team they have, the staff the factilties, don't come close to us. He'd only go to Wire if the money was far far better, because tbh Wire don't offer much more then Salford in my opinion.
The props. Luke Burgess and LMS would be ideal to bring into our pack, keeping Fielden, Feka and O'Carroll (Prescott) Loan deal somewhere.
End of 2010 season, the likes of Fielden and Feka should go, simply not offering enough, but maybe this will change under the right coach.
I have to admit 'Justin Morgan' as to be our man for the job.

Would agree with most of that getting them is a different matter, one thing is for sure Lenegan must now be strict and get rid of the dead wood, we have the chance with players coming off contract this year and next and if we don't this will only prolong are problems.
Wigan vs Leeds finals aggregate score.
Wigan 178 - 64 Leeds
Wigan wins - 6 Leeds wins - 0

Main priority at the minute has to be a new coach.
As much as I want an experienced Aussie, I want us to more away from signing the Aussies.
Justin Morgan, fits our bill, our players need an encouraging coach, who knows what direction he wants to take the club, he's worked very at Hull KR without the £££, imagine him with our potential and our £££. He'd bring a great future to the club.
If Bailey leaves at the end of the season, it still leaves us with 4 players fighting for 2 second row spots, Hock, J. Tomkins, Hansen and Mossop.
Hock will play that role no matter what, the other side should be a fight between J. Tomkins and Mossop for next year, Hansen I feel should go, he could be used in an exchange deal for another player within the league.
T. Smith's defence last night was shocking as usual, makes me wonder is he actual wanting to play for us? But then again the way his playing he's about second grade standard back in Oz.
IL is going to have to spend big, whether it be over here or over in Oz, I'd much prefer to see 2/3 GB players and a young talented GB Coach signed up with great potential, then some well scouted but average Aussies, tagged with a huge risk of not performing, least signing the GB players that play SL every week, have proven they can play this type of game. Where as the Aussies, it's a huge gamble as too whether they will take to this style of game.
