Wouldn't swap him for Carmont, not a chance, George Carmont has been absoulutely fantastic fromthe minute he came to us, Matt King was terrible for 18 months.

You also said you wouldn't swap Inglis for Gleeson. Comedy genius. Two best centres in SL Wigan had, I think your line was. Liverpool fan with a United flag in his avatar. Love it pal.

At the time yes, I wouldn't have swapped them, they part a huge part in our grand final success and were both superb, so why would I swap a grand final winning partnership, ask MOS Pat Richards who is the best centre in SL, 80% of his tries are down to Carmont. He is aslo very much a father figure at Wigan, a lot of the young players like Marsh, Charnley look up to him.

Still, any RL fan with a brain would swap any of them for Greg Inglis. Coming out with daft statements doesn't make you more of a fan mate. Like saying "I know we did really well with Sheasy at left back an won the league. but I wish we didn't sign Paddy Evra".

Carmonts does a hell of a lot for the club though, like I said, young players learn from him and he's a father figure, im not doubting Inglis maybe technically better, but who's to say he would come over here with the right attitude and contribute more than Carmont? Carmont has been up there with the best iv personally seen at Wigan.

They mean most league titles, most WCC's and most challenge cups FWIW.
However on a another note I cant see me adding another star to my liver bird tattoo with 5 stars above it any time soon, not with a 15 million bid for Stewart Downing on the cards

I fully understand why you're fond of him, but anytime you can improve a part of your team so greatly it would have to be done. I'd swap any of our centres for Inglis(apart from Blythe).
