I've not seen it for myself but I've heard Prescott isn't exactly setting the world on fire in the reserves. I thought he was a cracking prospect b4 he was injured last season, thats my reasoning for putting Pryce on the bench.

I think he's only played one game in the reserves and that was a friendly.

It is weird he can't defend. How the heck did he survive in the NRL? Manly's tackling was brutal/slightly illegal at times last night against Leeds.

Well he did survived, and survived well until his health troubles.

If he couldn't tackle - there's no hiding place there.

Maybe he has an injury? Confidence issue?

Who cares because when we see him in the first team, he is often our best forward.

Smith will probably go regardless.

I agree with 99% of that, But, if Tim picks up the form he showed in his Parramatta days then i say offer him a new contract, if he rejects then we go for someone like Dobson, who has a quality kicking game, which IMO we are lacking this season. IF, and it's a big IF, we have the cap room I would go after Moi Moi, imagine Feka, Hock, Riddell and Moi Moi on the bench, that would scare the life out of any team.

Moi Moi won't get a visa.

We need more of a leader as well otherwise we might as well just get Lynch. Petro is one of the more viable options imo.

Lynch is a good call, don't think we'll get Petro, he'll want a huge chunk of the cap

Just feel Smith (But who knows) won't want to be at Wigan for another season.

If Prescott is ready maybe he deserves a call up, but doesn't Pryce? Only 17 spots..

Moi Moi on the interchange with Feka would be awesome. But where does this leave the likes of Prescott and O Carroll with Feka and Fielden already in the team? I would love Moi Moi, but maybe the buck would be better spent on a good HB to play with Sam and a top quality centre.

when smith learns to tackle properly he will be a valuable asset to this wigan team

Fielden will leave next season anyway if he doesnt start performing.
