Thats what i say too!
No one will catch us on the wings and our forwards would be powering through towards the beginning of the tackle count. Ohhhhh I cant wait for carney to come back, and I hope dallas stays un injured and in form.
Obviously its not up to the board but if dallas wants to stay then I have no complaints, I'll decorate one of our rooms in an aussie theme and babysit his kids if he stays.

Dallas keen to stay
By Dave Woods
Winger Brett Dallas says he wants to finish his career at Wigan despite offers to return down under.
The Australian's contract finishes at the end of the season and he has already been told he is wanted by both Cronulla and Brisbane.
But Dallas, 29, wants to stay put at the JJB Stadium, saying: "I love this place. I have been here five years and I definitely want to stay.
"Hopefully I can get something sorted out over the next couple of weeks."
Dallas, who turns 30 two days after October's Grand Final, is hoping to go back home for one important task.
His wife is expecting and the pair of them are hoping the baby, due in November, will be born in Australia.
So looks like he's maybe changed his mind about having to go home for the baby? By the time he retires it'll be about time for the kid to go to school, so it'll still be able to get an Aussie upbringing. Probably a good move because we in this country seem to be obsessed with making kids do endless exams instead of doing any tecaching just so that newspapers can fill their pages with meaningless league tables...

Looks good doesn't it, I thought he would move back to Aus due to the strict migration rules they apply over there, but it seems he's got wise to a way around them, nice one Brett.
If he's been here over five years can he apply for citizenship and play for GB? lol
