I fully understand why you're fond of him, but anytime you can improve a part of your team so greatly it would have to be done. I'd swap any of our centres for Inglis(apart from Blythe).

I agree, my point though is that any signing is a risk, no matter how good they are, and with Carmont, he has proved over the last few years that he is reliable solid, classy and rarely makes mistakes, with a new signing these things arent guarenteed so id be hesistant to take the risk, il take Inglis though and stick him on the other side

Be telling me you wouldn't swap McIlorum for Cam Smith next.

I wouldnt swap Carroll for Rooney either

Yes, id definately swap those 2, im not a massive McIlorum fan if im honest, his distribution is poor at times and he lacks intelligence, I would not post this in the Wigan board though, id be hung by my testicles.

How long before L.Tomkins breaks through? Seen a bit of him at Widnes, looks lively.

Could be next season, all depends on signings really, the debate still goes on about whether Leuluai will go to 9 and we may sign a half back. Id personally prefer Leuluai at 7 and McIlorum alternating with someone (L.Tomkins or a signing) next season.

Joe Mellor at 6?

That was what I was hoping, or a least a few run outs next season as we still have Finch, but from what I hear off regular U20's goers since he's injury he's lost a yard of pace and his kicking game has been very poor.

At the time yes, I wouldn't have swapped them, they part a huge part in our grand final success and were both superb, so why would I swap a grand final winning partnership, ask MOS Pat Richards who is the best centre in SL, 80% of his tries are down to Carmont. He is aslo very much a father figure at Wigan, a lot of the young players like Marsh, Charnley look up to him.
