My worry for next year's squad

Two Tomkins
Lockers

3 players. Wonder what percentage of the Salary Cap they take up?

The squad then padded out with cheap and cheerful youngsters.

Every fan now knows that 1 million pound of SC was sat in the stands at OT, so Tomkins, Tomkins, Micky Mac, Manfredi, Mossop, Clubb + Gregson ? = 1 million

Appreciate that.

My worry is that those 3 will undoubtably be on top dollar and surely won't deliver value for money?

ST - average when he does play
JT- shot?
Lockers- end of his career?

Lockers is apparently only capale of next season then done. The Tomkins :doz: Maybe Joel will be seen as a LF, he is certainly not ahead of Faz or Bateman but then again is he even ahead of Isa at LF

Define "capable".

Playing as few matches as he does, he surely can't be worth the cap money?

Hi all. Long time reader of the forum, with this being my first time posting.

Feel it would of been the perfect time for Lockers to have moved into a coaching role this year after finishing with a GF win.

I honestly do not know WG and I am not disputing your view. I am just saying Wigan RLFC believe he is capable of playing next season. How, what capacity ???

I don't think Joel is worthy of a place injured or not, lockers is done now he's been a fantastic player but I think his injuries are catching up to him now.
I'd go Farrell and Sutton second row, Bateman at loose.

19 games last season, how much does he get paid and how much counts against the cap? Without that information how can you form a judgement?

I'm right with you I mean you only have to look at the padding!
Gelling
Farrell
Bateman
Burgess
Mcillorum
Manfredi
Escare
Club
Sutton
FPN
Tautai
Williams
Etc etc etc they are all cheap and shocking ..........
