A back five of Tomkins, Manfredi, Gelling, Gildart & Carney looks pretty strong to me.
If I was after anyone in SL it would be Terry Campese. Bring him in as player/asst coach so he could tutor our half backs in the finer points of play.
Campese is a quality player at the back end of his career and coaching in the future will have occured to him by now.
Where better to end your playing career with continuity into coaching than at Wigan?
Like the suggestion of Campase Ted
I got it from a very good source that campese was on wigans radar and was about to be signed until the conformation that Sam was coming back. The moment Sam signed for Wigan was the time campese extended his contract with KR.
Campese and Williams, would be interesting to see, I quite like the idea of that. An organiser, kicker with good hands and the darting fast play of another, could be what Wigan needs.

Which applies to Gildart. Agree with Mark 100%
Which sort of renders your thread useless CP
Why sign anyone at all if all we need to do is simply promote juniors and see how they go?
The club has a youth policy and that is fine / great BUt equally you accept none are perfect and you have to make signings too; Flower and Clubb for example.
I know that CP is was being cheeky with you
At what point though, do you decide we need experience within the side at the expense of promoting a junior who might have talent but no or little first grade action?

Think he was playing number 18...
Seems he doesn't fit in with wanes requirement to train harder rather than displaying natural talent.
Thought Hampshire had a decent run out for Cas v Leeds, but fear he'll be pushed out of the halves when Roberts returns.
I was hoping for a good performance from Hampshire against Leeds, but he was largely anonymous. Shame really as that was probably one of his last chances at Cas in the halves unless injury intervenes again.
