Re: Let's get Owen!

As much as I admire Owen, he's not quick enough to play 6 (or centre) and not big enough to play 13 in league at the top level. After a period of adjustment, he'd do a good job but wouldn't be worth the massive wages that we'd have to offer. It would look great for RL to grab the England RU captain ...

Re: Squad for London

I agree it's a big year for Jake and I hope he can step up. Although the championship may be an option I think he'll stay with us because it will only take an injury to Tommy or Sam P and Jake will be in the 17. Harry Smith has great potential but I'd thought that Jake is considered to be ahead of h...

Re: Benny

Good news, I hope he avoids injuries and finds his best form this season. It's nice that we seem to be starting the season with an almost fully fit squad.

Re: Starting XIII for Warrington?

Surely we have to try Bevan and Jackson at 6 and 7? It's the only chance before the season starts and this partnership is the big hope and the big unknown for 2021. No need to rush Manfredi now that we have the reserves back. Liam Marshall is a great back up and I'm sure he'll start the season.

Re: Where will Wigan finish in the table?

Interesting rumours today about the possibility of Ben Flower moving on before the season starts. Our pack looks strong but I wouldn't want to be losing Ben (surely in our top 4 props) without another signing. Perhaps he sees the 'writing on the wall' with his contract running out this season and is...

Re: Where will Wigan finish in the table?

I think that to be able to win the competition, the Jackson, Bevan combination has to be a success. Jackson with anybody else should be an improvement on what we had this year but not good enough to beat saints in a big game. We then need (like all squads) luck with injuries and a couple of players ...

Re: Canberra Eyeing Up More Wigan Talent

It's difficult for us to compete with the NRL money but we can insist on players not leaving until the final year of their contract, picking up a fee that suits us and getting first refusal on their return. What really annoys me is when they go with two or three years left on their contract. Wigan p...

Re: Benny

I'd be surprised if Ben didn't expect to lose out to George but he must be sick to see Clubby get a squad number ahead of him. It's interesting to see that some players take the squad numbers seriously whilst others clearly don't care. That being the case perhaps coaches need to take that into accou...

Re: One More Recruit??!!

Really can't see why we'd need Dwyer. We've got Sam P and Tommy with young Amir to back them up. If we do sign Dwyer I hope that isn't because Tommy is playing 7 with Bevan at 6 because Jackson really isn't coming over. Hope I'm adding 2 and 2 to make 5. If Jackson arrives as I expect him to I suppo...
