We have a new prop already on the books for next season, I believe his name is
Fielden.

No straw damn us wrote:Dudson was excellent yesterday and could prove to be a very astute signing for the future especially as he is only 21 and Mossop is only 22.
I thought he played well, particularly better than 3 out of the 4 antipodeans playing for England.

On the evidence of yesterdays one sided game I was impressed with him.The only problem I have is that he was made to look excellent in a very poor team.

It's not Dudson's fault Wales struggled a bit, the RFL are up against it in Wales considering how well the Union team did in the World Cup.
The score flattered England IMO who let's not forget had 3 Oz based players, Rangi Chase and Peacock and Morley who will qualify for a bus pass any time soon. Not exactly a glowing reference for the English game.

What about Mossop and come to that, Hock is also a possibility imo.

I was impressed with dudson, he carried the ball well and made good yardage it took 3 to stop him everytime. He was on the pitch for a good chunk aswell.
I think the 2 things i like about him are at 21 he is developing and he is Massive!

Fieldon a replacement for coley,hock a replacement for Hoffman, Roberts a replacement for Tomkins. Personally wigans only area of concern is a half back to partner finch, it's the main area of the pitch and we need a replacement for deacon. Leuleui and mcilorum working a hooker is perfect so that's not a option.

and where has also the salary cap money gone?
Fielden was on the cap all of last year - coleys money has gone where?
Roberts was on the cap all last year
Did Hock not count/part count on the cap last year so where has Hoffman's money gone
Did we ever spend the saving from gleeson's salary
what about Joel's potential savings
