Have we got a transfer fee for him, or was he out of contract?

<t>I'd like to see mcIlorum get a rest too, so I'd play:<br/> <br/> Bowen<br/> <br/> Manfredi - Gelling - Sarginson - Burgess<br/> <br/> Williams - Smith<br/> <br/> Taylor - Powell - Crosby<br/> <br/> Hughes - Bateman<br/> <br/> Farrell<br/> <br/> Subs:<br/> <br/> Austin - Sutton - Hampshire - Clubb...

<t>There's no doubt that both Burgess and Manfredi have bags of talent, and bright futures at Wiagn, but I think having two inexperienced wingers in the team might be a bit of a mistake, especially considering we'll be having a number of players making their competitive debut. For me it would be:<br...

<t>I think a year in Super League will do him the world of good; just look at the progress that Charnley made when he spent a season playing competitive rugby week in, week out. Looking forward to seeing him in action.<br/> <br/> By my reckoning, with the expected departures of Powell and Lauaki, th...

<t>I for one am disappointed that Tuson is going, because he is a real grafter, and played some fantastic games at the start of the season, but personally I think it is just a case of a player wanting to move on and become an important first team player. I can't comment on the contracts that Wigan o...

<t>I thing gelling had a decent game, took his tries well, and kept his winger relatively quiet, but he's still not an out and out winger for mine, just a couple of times when he took up the wrong positions attacking-wise. Its a shame but i don't think he will get a chance to build on a good perform...

I suppose it depends if Matty Smith is passed fit. If not, I think a move around will lead to Hughes starting at centre or second row, with Tuson moving up to the bench.

<t>I think it would be a bit of a missed opportunity to move Lockers to the halves, as it would be a great opportunity to give Powell a full game at scrum half, perhaps even giving someone like Williams a go off the bench? I'd much rather see players used in their natural positions unless absolutely...

<t>Gelling was always going to be a work in progress, but he needs game time to progress. I think that the rule changes have pretty much put a nail in the coffin of his Wigan career, which is a shame because he has shown flashes of real talent. It's a shame that the rule changes are going to discour...

<t>Sounds like he will be our long term kicker once he is in the team, but he needs to become a regular first. The partnership of Green and Smith looks like it will be pretty solid for the next few years, so playing him as a goal kicking full back might be the only option, one Tomkins has gone to NR...
