Think Adrian Lam (Player), Trent Barrett, Sam Tomkins, Vaealiki... who of the current team would we class as being Class?
Austin at Wire
Lomax, Coote at Saints
Hastings at salford
Johnstone at Wakey
Gale at Cas (he is though...)
What are our options? Hardaker? Manfredi when fit. This is what we are lacking here and now and for 2020...

It should be Hardaker, Burgess & Williams with the next crop being Gildart and Farrell in my opinion.
We do seem to lack a player with the X factor since Tomkins and Bateman left.
The problem we have is that we have expectations greater than certain players potential. We also have injuries that is stopping players getting back to form and a style of play which doesn’t suite.

At Wigan i think only Oli really qualifies as its incredibly rare he has a bad game
Williams should be there but really needs to work on consistency and picking the right option
Obviously in his day Lockers but he is 2-3 years now away from that player

when we signed him it was pre injury and was classed as one of the best centres in the world on either side of the world

Burgess has the potential
Manfredi when hes not injured, the quality he showed when he came back was world class.
Maybe Hardaker but i have never been a fan, hes a glory hog for me and not worker.

I'm hoping that the signings of current fringe players like Clark and Bibby and the resigning of other current mediocre players is because Rads is keeping the money back for a superstar signing.
Even my 9 year old niece who is Wigan mad was underwhelmed with yesterdays announcement.
I would love us to bring in a superstar Aussie, even if they are getting on a bit and it doesn't really work out.
Its the announcement we need at the moment.
Sonny Bill Williams please.

Totally agree with this i can remember when Barrett was announced fans were buzzing! there was an atmosphere of expectation. Even more recently Finch and Hoffman or even Matty Bowen!
Rads and IL are so short sighted they would be asking Mr Magoo to be their eyes - Anything under Hastings now will be a complete failure - even atkin who is a very good prospect
