If he's that good (i.e better than Ratchford), we could have signed him and put Lomax at 6. Lomax at 6 with no organisational responsibilities would work.


I'm not sure it would do. If you look at Ratchford, he is not as dangerous when he plays at 6. Why waste Lomax's obviously gifted running game? We need a 6.

To be perfectly honest, people will say the London lads are not good enough for Wigan. But if you were to ask me who our best prop is, I would say its Ben Flower. Gil Dudson is also a regular. How much would you have laughed if I said that 2 years ago when everyone was thinking Wigan were crazy for signing them.


Ben Flower looks a decent player, and I don't think his signing was questioned as much as you are making out.

Gil Dudson on the other hand is a poor player.

Gil Dudson is a Wompa.

He's a limited coach that won't last long term.

That would make Wigan strong favourites then. With Ratchford at FB and Patton with Cronk in the halves, I think we'll do very well without Sam.

Well then you were not paying enough attention to comment with confidence on the matter, because you would remember that people were okay with Dudson (to the extent they could see some potential to maybe be an option) but Flower was completely written off. Fans of both Wigan and other teams were laughing at the signing.

As i say, Dudson was the one which had more support behind it.

Call Dudson a poor player if you wish, but at 23 and the performance levels he is capable of I respectfully disagree.

Dudson's big. I think people saw him play quite well in a Wales game and thought that a combination of his size together with his relatively young age and lack of exposure meant that he had a lot of potential. At 23, he still does.

No he didn't. In the last game of the season, I don't think I've seen anyone play as bad, except maybe Gelling.

For sale thirty brand new suits, made in 2007 never been worn but rather tear stained.
Apply to Wigan warriors rented accommodation.

2 nil will get you a win
30 nil will get you a win
75 nil is absolute humiliation.

The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you.
Welsby-Dodd-Simms-Eaves-Rizzelli, not Eastmond...the future is coming.
