Far too lighyweight and slow. We need a 6 with a running game outside Walsh. O Brien is not our man IMO.

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.

Re: O'Brien : Sun Jun 09, 2013 10:55 pm  
He's done ok, he's not afraid to try stuff, gets hit taking the line on close and gets straight back up.

Maybe a little early to be thinking about next year, but for this year, I'd say if we could get him, then get him.

Next year depends who else is available.

Similar things were said about Matty Smith, we didn't appreciate his talent and let him go. Unfortunately Wigan are gonna reap the benefits of that mistake. I'm not bothered if the 6 & 7 have any pace. I think the half backs should be able to guide us round the pitch, pick the right pass, make the right kick...let the other lads be the 'runners'. That's just my opinion anyway...which means nowt. :)

Is anyone else worried that Adam Swift is going to go to waste?
The clubs persistance with the likes of Wellens and Gardner seems to be hampering him more than others.

Yep , If we sign those 2 on for next year It will seriously hold him back imo. He is at an age where he needs to be playing games.

Depends how reliable Swift is though. I'm sure I read somewhere he's a qualified aerospace engineer so if a chance comes along I can't see him turning that down (and I wouldn't blame him).

A lot of people see real potential in Swift. If they're right, he may as well give it his best shot, knowing that he has engineering to take up when he's done.

I think he is potentially a good winger and hope he sticks around but if the chance comes for him to take up something he can do for life probably for similar money I just can't see him sticking around. Hopefully i'm wrong.
