I would love for the club (in 12 months time) to put a cheeky bid in for Briscoe. He's publily stated on many occasions that he love the chance to play for his hometown club again at some point!

In 12 months time he will have a year left on his contract and Hull KR will be fretting of the possibility of him leaving on a freebie at the end of 2011.

I'm sure they would gladly accept a 100K transfer (ala Gleeson)...!

We could include Pryce, Piggy and Fielden in the deal and take Dobson back as well

Offer £95k cash then...

Bargain if you ask me!

Regardless of if you like Long or not he would have been a good signing for a number of reasons. Not only is he a good player who would have kicked us around the park well but being a local lad he would have settled in almost straight away.



If it was a choice between him and Orford who was the other so called option I'd take Long 9 times out of 10!

Big call that mate picking him over Orford.



IMO Orford is a different class and would make a barrett type impact

Correct

Long showed excactly what he can come up with in 'big' games last night. If we'd have had his experience in our 5 semi's over the past few years we'd have won at least 1 or 2 imo.



He's been shocking for Saints in the main this year and I don't think many of the Saints fans had much confidence in him producing at display like that last night but as a Wigan fan it worried me. He's done it time and again in semi's and final's and especially against Wigan. I said to my dad when he pulled off that tackle on Richards he'd kill us and it turned out that way.



I say all that i'm still not certain i'd have liked us to sign him. As i said before he's been awful this year 95% of the time and the Wigan fans would have had a real struggle taking to him and vice versa especially if his form was poor.



On balance i'm happy we didn't sign him.

Right, if every player in Superleague was out of contract as of now and every player wanted to come to Wigan which players would you sign bearing in mind we only have enough for 1 or 2 world class players or a 3 or 4 average players? Adding to our current squad with Bailey joining the backroom staff for a season.



For me I would take Morley, Brough and if there was anything left Wheeler.

James Graham, Ryan Hall, Kyle Eastmond, Jamie Peacock.

I respectfully disagree.



I think there are a far longer list of reasons why we shouldn't even have made an offer if indeed we did.

Not enough money for both Eastmond and Hall, which one would you pick then?
