I think giving him the 6 shirt next year would be a move too far.
I do think we should be looking at Sarginson at 1 to replace Bowen. With Smith our permanent 7 then Ryan H and George to rotate at stand off with Sam Powell, also Sam to sub MM.
If I were SW I wouldn't give the 6 shirt to anyone next year unless they sign a stand off.
I really hope Rocky ends up at 6 and George at 7 at some stage.
If they can produce anything like the level of play they attained at academy level, they're certain to be the GB halves.
George's try last week v Salford has been voted Super League Try of the Week ????
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

That will continue into 2015 IMO with Hampshire added to the list
All depends Ted, something said weeks ago can be changed weeks later. Weeks ago I would have said give them equal opps but George may have forced Wane to change that idea with his recent efforts.
The big loser will be Logan Tomkins as I think Sam P will be the back up hooker / halfback if he does not get the starting HB spot.
That would be my choice as well but with Joel's return I reckon Logan is safe. Particularly as IL has declared his ambition to have all 3 back in the Wigan side!
