Marquee and half back slots for 2020
Having to be realistic, who’d you like or think would be willing to join an edwards led Wigan for 2020 to replace George and which players could be given Marquee status
I’d give one marquee slot to Sam P

Re: Marquee and half back slots for 2020
Im worried about the edwards appointment now, with rumours nothing is signed, he needs a war chest and im just not sure one is available for him, there is a lot of deadwood in this squad and a lot of them are on longer contracts than next year - Edwards isnt an idiot he's surely going to look at the situation and think even the best coach in the world would struggle with the current team.ancientnloyal wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2019 9:44 am Having to be realistic, who’d you like or think would be willing to join an edwards led Wigan for 2020 to replace George and which players could be given Marquee status

If he does and does get the war chest i think Hastings would be my main target

Re: Marquee and half back slots for 2020
In the last three years we have signed;
Bullock, Sammut, Hardaker, Greenwood, Hamlin, Burgess (again), Escare, Tommy (Again), Naverrete and Forsyth, Sarge (again)
In that same period weve lost;
Bateman, Sutton, S. Tomkins, Gregson, Tierney, Mickey Mac, J. Tomkins, Charnley, Frank Paul, Crosby, Mossop, Smith, Hampshire
Please feel free to correct if ive missed any
At least 5 of the players who've left would walk into our starting 13 imo

He will be starting from a low base so I am sure he will be successful. The question is, what is the definition of successful?Wigan_forever1985 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2019 9:54 amIm worried about the edwards appointment now, with rumours nothing is signed, he needs a war chest and im just not sure one is available for him, there is a lot of deadwood in this squad and a lot of them are on longer contracts than next year - Edwards isnt an idiot he's surely going to look at the situation and think even the best coach in the world would struggle with the current team.ancientnloyal wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2019 9:44 am Having to be realistic, who’d you like or think would be willing to join an edwards led Wigan for 2020 to replace George and which players could be given Marquee status

Re: Marquee and half back slots for 2020
Didn't we promise a marquee spot to Bateman when he returns. If so we could only give a 2 year deal to someone.
As for the other spot, I'm hoping Edwards has something up his sleeve. Maybe George Ford or Owen Farrell.
I went on a tour of Twickenham last week with work and mentioned to Clive Woodward about one of these returning to Wigan and he said you never know, especially when Edwards takes over.

Re: Marquee and half back slots for 2020
The issue with both of these is you can play longer at the highest level in union than league Farrell could legitimately be making the England team at 35/36 by which age he is useless to league. I cant see how any top flight RU player would come to us unless you went for a Danny Cipriani that comes with baggageFirst Try Tickle wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2019 11:27 am Didn't we promise a marquee spot to Bateman when he returns.

Re: Marquee and half back slots for 2020
I think an issue someone just raised was Bateman being promised a marquee slot if he returns... who knows he could get injured and we would be fools again.
I think Chase would be a bad signing we have our work cut out already keeping Zak on the straight and narrow let alone get him back to the player he once was!

I have seen nothing yet to suggest that Hardaker is anything other than a pale pale shadow of the player he was at Castleford before the drug taking.ancientnloyal wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2019 1:56 pm I think an issue someone just raised was Bateman being promised a marquee slot if he returns... who knows he could get injured and we would be fools again.
