I think there’s every chance Hill and Eseh go on loan as a minimum.

I guess Eseh to Wakefield and maybe Hill to London??

[quote = "Saddo"]I'd have most of the wingers in Super League ahead of Miski. He's benefitting from playing in a Wigan side that has very good backs and creative plenty of walk-ins for their wingers. You put Miski in the Cas team, he wouldn't score more than 5 tries a season. You put Greg Eden on the wing for Wigan, he'd score 30+.[/quote]

One of my favourite all time quotes.

Hill to London would be an incredible move.

Personally, I think Eseh should do 12 months with us before any long term loan deals. He needs to get "Wigan fit", or at least start on that journey. He can do stints at other teams, like Hill has done, but should be in the Wigan environment as much as possible.

So parking the Owen Farrell rumour for the minute and assuming Smithies has gone - how do we lineup next season?

Field
Miski
Keighran
Wardle
Marshall
French
Smith
Dupree
Leeming
Havard
Walters
Faz
Thompson

-------------
Isa/Nsemba
O'Neill
Ellis/Mago
Byrne/Cooper

Suppose the only debate is really how you rank our prop forwards

O’Neill too good to be a bench player, and a good engine too. He starts for me, Leeming provides impact, O’Neill to LF adds a double up element to that impact with good hands at 13. Said it before and I’ll say it again; we’ll miss Smithies link play which was massively underrated.

Quote of the week from Redvee, and it took some choosing:

It’s going to be interesting for Wigan next season. I was always worried more about them attacking from deep with their pace, closer to our try line I fancied us to hold them.

If they are more dominant in the pack, making more yards…will that reduce how effective their pacy backs are

That sounds more like he's asking God more than anyone else, with his hands firmly pressed together whilst on his knees.
