Kimmorley stated a few years back that he had no desire to play over here until his career in OZ was finished and he would then only come over to finish his career off and top up his pension, sory but i don't want an arrogant lover like that in this team

He was only stating the reality of the situation. No current SOO or Kangaroo rep is going to be coming over here.
Kimmorley is the type of 7 we need. Great long and short kicking game. Great organiser, an aspect Wigan is desperatly lacking in. Also a great long and short passer. We could get 2 good seasons out of him.

sorry but i don't want 2 good seasons then back to naormal, we have been signing stop gap players ever since Edwards left, has it worked, has it sh!te, would rather have a youngster to partner Sam and have 2 years of adequate play with several more when the 2 are settled together

So you want two 19 year olds at half back. I hope you are prepared to be patience enough to allow this develop, as one strongly suspects that we will lack any direction for about 3 years.

and what if they click like Burrows and McGuire?
fact is we could sign Kimmorley or Orford and the same thing could happen, at least a Britsh born youngster will be cheaper to replace and won't cost as much on the cap

Absolutely there doubt that if we were to sign orford kimmorley or lockyer we would get two good years out of them, but then we'd be back to square one again looking for someone to partner tomkins.
People say you couldn't have tomkins and myler together at 6 and 7 but if we improved the pack with N Cayless and they looked after the young lads we could start with myler and leuluai and after 20 minutes we could put leuluai to nine and bring on tomkins.
Wigan vs Leeds finals aggregate score.
Wigan 178 - 64 Leeds
Wigan wins - 6 Leeds wins - 0
I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I am all out of bubblegum.
Don't you struggle. Don't you fight. Don't you worry, cause it's your turn tonight!
We need to spend the cash on a superstar to get players wanting to play for us and with the superstar. If we signed Lockyer and we were offering a player a little less money than another club they would sign for us for the chance to play with Lockyer. Its the simple fact, its no good filling the team full of average steady eddies we need a superstar halfback and prop.
Morley and Lockyer please.
LMS and Myler next year.
Plus throw in Briscoe.
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.

Burrow and MCGuire never operated on their own. They had Andrew Dunnermann for 2 seasons with them.

Lockyer would have been great about 3 years ago. With his dodgy knees I think not.
