I wouldn't want to split the partnership of a fit Budgie, Liam and Oli on the left but I'm not sure I see too many players on the staff more likely to succeed as a playmaker.

Happy New Year to all and I can't wait for the season to start.
I've been thinking that myself, he understands the game so well he could be worth a game or two at 6. He is a little small for a modern centre as well but makes up for it with ability.
we never tried Inga, connoly or carmont there so why Gildart?

Another Joel Moon, you mean? Moon had played in the halves in Australia, I don't know if Gidart had any experience there at junior level, but I can see the appeal of the idea.

And we shouldn't forget Jake Shorrocks, of course.

Gildart did play some of his junior rugby at #6, but so did Sarginson, in fact Sarginson played in that position for England Knights with Sam Powell as his #7.

I wouldn't have thought any of those three would have made a good 6, Gildart might?

Brilliant idea. Move the only centre we have at the club to half back. :eusa17:

Worth a try is the suggestion - take a chill pill :eusa17: Maybe we will sign a couple of centres to replace Gells

Have to agree it does sound a bit dumb to move Gildhart to half back.
We appear to have quite a few who can play half back but whether they can next year will reveal.
All the BS that's coming out the Club at the moment on Wigan Today has set the bar very high, if the team don't reach that standard surely Wane has to be replaced? Whether that will happen is another matter.

Heres one for you for a mad suggestion, why not try Powell at centre?
many centres walk the line between halfback and centre, the positions possess a lot of similar qualities. Powells fairly solid in defence he has ok pace and ok passing, he doesnt have many brain farts either.
