Carmont has had it relatively easy for a RL player, there are countless player who have plenty of miles on the clock by the time he turned pro.. I don't blame Wigan for only giving him a year but I'd be surprised if he isn't in SL beyond that.

I was thinking the same myself.

I do think however that all three need to be playing regular first team SL footy. Goulding already has this but Marsh and Charnley can't be stuck in the 21's and then be expected to slip into Carmonts shoes.

A season at Hull KR for Charnley would be perfect IMO.


Agreed.

For me the most likely candidate is Daz Goulding. He had an excellent game against Hull FC (home) at centre & didn't look out of place at all. I would like to see him get a few more games at centre this year.

Josh Charnley and Stefan Marsh need much more game time. We need that strength in depth for certain, but a loan to a SL club with a 24-hour recall would be perfect. From what I've been told though, Marsh is seen more of a fullback and Charnley is seen as more of a winger.

Push comes to shove, age is just a number, we could just re-sign Carmont for another year after 2011.

Great to have George on board for another year (at least).

In George and Gleeson Wigan must have the best centre combination in the SL - which is one of the reasons our wingers scored so many tries last season ( I know a lot came through Sam and Lockers too).

With our improved halves and pack things should be even better next season!



Bridge and King is probably the best combination. Been a great signing Carmont. As with most other positions at the club, you have a youngster ready to come through when he departs.

I thought Wire played Atkins ahead of Bridge?

No. When Bridge was fit they interchanged King and Atkins on the left. Bridge has covered both halfback positions and loose forward as well.

I have to admit I'm not a great fan of sending players out on loan and then bringing them back for one or two games due to injury. I'd rather see them settled at one club for the full season.

For that reason I hope Pryce is resigned as cover rather than calling guys like Charnley back. IMO with the loss of Phelps & Ainscough plus Pats injury means we are a little short on wing cover.

We start next season without Pat, Roberts could go full back with Sam at 6.
This may well give us Goulding on the right wing and either Charnley or Marsh left wing.
Goulding has to be favourite as Carmont's replacement. He's a centre anyway and has had a very good season playing almost all year. I'm sure he will fill the left centre spot without any difficulty following his good run in the first team.
Interesting that there's no mention of a further year's option after 2011 for George.
I'm sure MM will manage that situation very well.

That makes no financial sense at all. Why pay Pryce a full year's salary, however small, to play in the reserves, when we can have cover available at no cost to us other than the odd game Charnley or Marsh might play?

Has to be Gleeson and Carmont, look at the tries scored, setup and saved. A large part of the championship winning team.
