Wigan will be great in 2008

Got a hot rumour from a source inside the club, or just something you heard down the pub? Then what are you waiting for, post it on The Rumour Mill.

I think its very open this season for the top 6. We wont finish top. Leeds, Saints or Bulls will finish top.

We are just as strong as last season. Pack is slightly weaker without Fletcher but the backs is stronger.
Disagree. New pack members are Coley and Bailey and every other member of the pack should improve this year bar Higham IMO. Against this we have lost Fletch who would be 34 this year, Millard who was shot and Hill who didn't make the grade.

IMO both forwards and backs are far stronger and I expect a marked improvement if our luck with injuries and court cases holds out.
Neither Bailey or Coley are a as good as Fletcher. Even at 34 he still would be better than either of the 2 you mention.

Maybe so but the Fletcher of 2008 would not be as good as the 2007 version whereas in 2008 Lockers, Hock, Hansen, Feca, Fielden, Tompkins and McIllorum should all be expected to improve.

Hansen for me could become a very good player next season. Hock has struggled a bit and Hansen could push him out of the starting line up.
