Isn't that the day Danson officially takes over, I'm guessing that a big signing would also be announced on the same day

We have the best number 7 in super league who controls a game better than anyone. Smith, who is only getting better and better.

We will have a more dynamic threat out of 9. Leeming.

We have the best centre wing partnership in the league Wardle and Marshall.

We have the 2 most electric game breakers in the league in Field and French.

And a massive pack of forwards with a good mix of youth and experience. As stated if we get a full season out of Havard I feel he’ll be in the dream team. Also Dupree after a Wigan offseason will be even better.


We’ll be in the mix for everything.

I think we might need to be patient at the start as the team has changed dramatically from last year. The players we have lost have been at Wigan for years and know the Wigan way. For the first time in years we have brought in a lot of new faces especially in the pack and they are going to need time to settle in. Suggest we need to use the pre friendlies to help sort this out.

Would like to have seen less props think we have too many and more back cover. Fingers crossed Harry goes injury free., and looks like Douglas and Eckersley are going to get more opportunities to show that they are future super league players. As unsure if Miski will be fit for start of new season.

With a bit of luck we could have won the lot last year and on paper we look just as strong . Here’s hoping for the same and entertaining season.

Not seen any mention of the injury Havard picked up in the GF? Hamstring again??

I am very excited indeed, in particular because for the first time this century we will have a running threat at 9 AND a big pack, hitting the line and making post contact metres. When we played the Roosters, KR made the point that we needed to be much bigger, but it has taken us forever to do something about it.

The backs pick themselves, with, hopefully, the juniors having a chance to slot in and step up. As for the pack, if we play Thompson at 13, we could have Thompson, Ellis, Havard, Dupree, Mago, Walters and Byrne in the same 17. Now that would be a sight to see: Bradford’s awesome 4 some becomes Wigan’s Seven Heaven. No idea if it will work, but it’s great seeing us embrace a good big un beats a good little un.
