Error prone isn't he? I know he was dropped for a long spell last year to Parra's reserve grade side after totally losing all confidence in his ability.

The only swap deal we should be looking at for Amos is one with Ainscough after we work on him and improve his weaknesses.

If he doesn't come for 2010 then it looks less and less likely to ever happen because he's 29/30 now.

if im honest i have barely seen the NRL this year what with setanta going bust, but i saw him score some cracking tries last season. thats all it was. Looked impressive everytime i saw him. But look at Dobson, cant make it over there but arguably the best half back in the league over here. Grothe in an inferior league would probably shine as there would be no reason for him to lose confidence. The NRL is brutal, and easy to fall out of favour if you lose a bit of form. I would take a punt on him

Why should we be looking to swap Amos? He's been brillant towards the end of the season.

Wigan Warriors 2010:

Super League Champions
League Leaders
Under 20's Champions
Club of The Year
Floodlit 9's Winners
Pat Richards: Man Of Steel
Sam Tomkins: Young Player of the Year
Michael Maguire: Coach of the Year

Because he is a aussie, and some Wigan fans are borderline racist when it comes to imports v homegrown "potential".

I'm starting to wonder about this, myself.

Some people are taking his Ainsbough v Roberts thing a little too far. Roberts has flaws in his game, but so does Ainscough. I don't think Ainscough was treated particularly well the way he was just dropped out of all contention, but I doubt he'd have done anything that Roberts hasn't been able to do.

I like the idea of filling the team and club with Wiganers, but some advocates of this system are starting to sound xenophobic.
