Putting my feelings aside, If bailey does stay I don't believe another secondrower will be brought in, I say this because it wouldn't leave room for any of the academy lads. However if Bailey does go I think somebody will be brought in, Frank Pritchard would be my choice.

Same in regards to Coley, if he stays I don't believe we'll bring in another Prop purely because then we'll have to many in that Position. For me they key to replacing both Coley and Bailey is with players who are of better quality and contribute further to the team, whether there British or Aussies doesn't really matter although I would prefer them to be British.

Looking at who the other teams have signed for next year and whet we have at the min (depends on who we bring in). We could be in for another disappointing 20010.



What quality is there that Wigan can get?

My god, you are looking ahead

About the same time Howells ban will be served

I think with the loss of Gareth Hock and the likely loss of Phil Bailey we may still need a new second row forward.



Joel Tomkins has not been as impressive in the second row.

Harrison Hansen has been a strong player but you would still hope for more improvement.

Lee Mossop is ready for super league after his performances at Huddersfield.



You would think it would be another year before we see Liam Farrell.



Maybe give Phil Bailey another year if he keeps this form up just to steady the development of Liam Farrell (Maybe a years loan) and then after the year we can see if he is ready for super league.

the loss of hock means that we def need a new back rower.

for all baileys strengths, they are the same as hansen, who outplayed him last year. the quota spot he takes, and his and gaz's wages mean that we could promote mossop and farrell, and also bring in an experienced, aggresive back rower in the faz mould.



we can do better than bails and also give the youngsters some opportunities. our back row options would then be



lockers, joel - LF

hansen, mossop, farrell, flannagan, QUOTA SPOT - SR

Sika Manu.

Would be perfect but doubt it sadly.

Heard a few super league clubs are after him. He is contracted till 2010 though I believe.

Shane Tronc is heading to Wigan, or so Ive heard from a current SL player

Looks to be Wakefield bound, they were certainly in the driving seat and close to signing him last i heard, also since then it also seems to be a bit of an open secret he has signed on the Trinity forum, the only slight doubt i have is the gagging clause he has in place with his new club.

I would be extremely disappointed if we were beaten to the signing of Tronc by Wakefield. As far as i can see there isn't really anyone of better quality readily available from there clubs or even willing to come over.
