Forgot about Stuart Reardon.
Fair enough to Wire. They have a very good squad. Not sure how Myler, Briers, Moanghan, Clarke and Higham will work out but they have a lot of quality now.

Clarke and higham will fight it out for the bench hooker spot, 5 fighting for 4 places.
Sure i read somewhere they were considering Clarke at LF, not sure how that'd work though!

Don't think Salford would let both there young halves leave in the same season though, and I just can't see Lenegan paying stupid money like Wire have for Myler. Fair play if they can do it, I just don't feel like lenegan has to.
True Salford wouldn't let both leave in the same season but you never know about the future, if Ratchford wants to win something then he'll have to leave Salford at some point plus he's a Wigan lad I believe so that might count.
Wire are obviously going on some what of a spending spree, yet if you look at are squad list the number of player we will have leaving at the end of 2010 will mean we may be in a similar position to wire in 12 months time with plenty of money to spend.
Wigan vs Leeds finals aggregate score.
Wigan 178 - 64 Leeds
Wigan wins - 6 Leeds wins - 0

Don't you struggle. Don't you fight. Don't you worry, cause it's your turn tonight!

With a much better base of young local players already though. After next year the team will be built around:
Paul Prescott
Mike McIllorum
Ben Davies - hopefully
Lee Mossop
Joel Tomkins
Harrison Hansen
Sean O'Loughlin
Liam Farrell
Sam Tomkins
For many years to come hopefully. Possibly with Hock to come back we could potentiallly be looking at 9 academy produced first teamers.

We could have one hell of a team if most of our young players reach potential with a mix of overseas players and Coley type players, we will be in a great position to be on top of the game for a few years.
Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS

Its what some on here keep saying, but not many are listening.... How much space will this lot give us under the cap? and how many will we need to bring in from outside?. Also could make us a club that needs to sell good players for good money...

Ultimately not much. While they are establishing themselves in the side they won't command a big wage obviously but if some of them reach the potential people think they have Wigan will have to pay the going rate to keep them. In fact they may not be able to keep all of them and stay under the cap which is of course what the cap is all about, spreading the talent across the teams with no club being able to hog all the best players.
