I don’t think the side is great and lacks quality, strike and should be way under the salary cap but what players are out of position? Cust is questionable but looked ok playing for Wigan at 9 in a league winning side.

There will be a few unhappy posters but well deserved Jordan Lane, player of the year. Thought him, Ese Ese and Lewis Martin were stand outs. Separate comment, I noticed Jed Cartwright at end of the game with his shirt off. He looks absolutely ripped. a good sign of our strength and conditioning to come for next season.

Well deserved for what? Putting in slightly more effort than the dross around him? If this is the clubs standard for a top player then god help us

As per Irregular hoops response, you know who weve signed, you know what positions they play, please do offer some form of constructive feedback as to who you would have in the team o improve it with what will likely be available? I mean aside from maybe moving rapana to wing and moy to full back i think its best we have right now no?
That may well change with new signings etc but id say the above with the right team off the field behind it would be capable of moving up the table IMO, say around 8th? I don't see anything or anyone that give me reasons to think the likes of Huddersfield, or Cas will finish above us, even Wakefield tbf, im not buying all the hype around them, i still think they will be bottom 2 or 3 and Salford will surely struggle to go round again, think they will likely have a drop off too, Unsure on how Leeds will go, they could finish anywhere from 4th to 10th IMO and Leigh are gonna go through HUGE change so there's no telling how much the players leaving will hurt them aswell. The gap will close between 6th to 12th next year i think.
I'll bet you were one of the ones predicting we'd challenge for the play offs with the signings we made last season

That's been his one and only suggestion so far, says it all really.
Cheap and better than what we have currently. People don't agree because they don't want to admit I'm right but I am. If we picked up 2 or 3 solid forwards at the same level as kershaw we'd be a whole lot better

The half back at hooker, the winger at full back, the full back in the centres

As far as Rapana goes, Stuart has mainly selected him at full back this season and the player himself said he's loved it and it's his prefered position for next season.
Zak Hardaker has played centre far more than full back since switiching there for Wigan in 2020 when they signed French.
