All part of Nobby's masterplan of introducing young wigan players into the team - this will knock a few of those who criticise him for only picking youngsters when he's forced into it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with moving Lockers to 2nd row and putting Tomkins at 13.

He was a better 13 then Lockers when Lockers was injured. Lockers can tackle all day long and he has go forward.

I'm not usually one for the whole 'letz sign im coz he's ded gud' thing but imagine this guy in SL. Tendai Mtawarira, nicknamed the beast. Type his name into a well know video sharing website. Out-scrummaged the British Lions Phil Vickery, SSN did a little profile on him. He really is a beast but has immense pace for his size.

IL, sign him on Bailey's, Hock's & Tim Smiths wage? :thumb:

See if we now can bring in

FB Chris Ashton
7 Myler
8 Cayless
and another possibly UK based prop.

And a new coach. Please come home Shaun Edwards!

When the news was broke today the thoughts of Myler crossed my mind, if we had enough money before for a prop + a SH, with Hocks wage added on we must surely be able to throw money at a top prop and sh, but if none of the top quality SH's from AUS come over, throw stupid money at myler and hope it sticks.

I just think that if a new coach comes in and moves Leuluai to hooker as is expected, he can be moved back to the halves if ST or RM have a bad spell.

Options at least.

I'm really against Tommy as a 7, its one of our major problems. No creativity from the 7.

I was once doubting Myler due to his age, but his age doesn't seem to be a factor with the way he plays the game.

Sooner have a young quality talent like Myler than an aging Aussie for 2 seasons like Orford.

Orford is quality, but we need to start building longer term stability.

I'd agree with every single one of those signings, personally thought Myler was more or less gone to wire, but now with us having plenty of spare cash I'm not so sure. Either way Lenegan needs to pull his finger out and and WOW us all with some good news.






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!

I agree tommy doesn't provide enough creativity, but as cover for the halves he isn't a bad player at all.

The problem for us now is the massive lack of attacking prowess, most of our attacks only produced goods on the left hand side, mainly due to hock.

I also feel this has now massively reduced the strength of our team, and with such a large amount of cap space becoming available we may as well take this opportunity to completely rebuild the team around Tomkins and Myler.

I'd happily let go

Hansen
Bailey
*Hock*
Coley
Smith
Fielden (not gonna happen)
Goulding
Pryce/Carmont < Pryce could possibly provide the penetration down the left hand side.

Put McIllorum out on loan.

Thats got to be close to about a third of our cap AT LEAST!

Get in Myler - Goulding+Hansen+£££
Cayless
If we release Pryce and Carmont we could use the money to get in a top aussie centre - Jamie Lyon perhaps now that Gidley has extended his contract.

Ideal line-up next year

Roberts
Richards
*Lyon*
Gleeson
Ainscough

Tomkins
Myler

Tomkins
O'Loughlin
Mossop

Cayless
Riddell
O'Carroll

BENCH
Leuluai
Feka
Prescott
Flanagan/Farrell

Compete with the best would that team.

The ones highlighted aren't good enough. We'll never sign Lyon.

We've certainly got the chance to have a clear out this year and next, if we start resigning certain players I truly will loose all faith in the club, personally made me feel very depressed reading Rad's book to hear him compare the club when he joined to the poor state it was/is now.

Wigan 178 - 64 Leeds

Wigan wins - 6 Leeds wins - 0
