What top full backs are we going to be able to get? Matt Bowen perhaps?

Someone that talks sense!!!

The FB and SH have to be great players simple as you don't need W/C props, average props with average reputations are good enough if they do the work. Hull KR prove the point, no really a bunch of awesome props, but having a very good SH who controls them well and an ace FB who reads and understands the game to a tee, is very helpful when they can pop up anywhere!

Agreed about the SH, but a prop is also a key position. Look how well Petro and Price set up field position for the backs to play, we often lack that at Wigan.

I also wanna see the SR used more out wide next to the centres, not as battering rams trying to drive the ball up the middle.

Agreed, like Hock when he ran at Long at MM. We could score from that alot if we just use Carmont as the dummy runner to take the centre away, Hock one on one with a SH, Happy Days

Cruncher, its obvious its your time of month with your little snipes...

Have a look back at my first post again and I think you'll see I actually came on here trying, in a very polite way, to explain why the Morley rumour seemed quite an unrealistic one....That is debate as far as I'm aware...Unfortunately, the majority on here just seemed to want to come back with petty comments.

I appreciate that there are plenty of nobheads from Warrington who deserve as much ridicule as anybody, when it comes to debating on here, but its just a little sad that people, even on an internet forum can't discuss things without descending into nursery school squabbling...

Release:

Bailey
Smith
Phelps
Coley

to create CAP space for new FB, SH and PROP.

Agree with the list, but can see Coley getting another one year, continue like he as for the rest of the season and people may question what you have to do to renew your contract. He's performing great.

I think Carmont maybe added to your list, don't all jump the gun, I only think this as I think he's becoming very injury prone, but the rest of the season will decide that.

Phelps - not good enough to become a full-time FB with us.

Bailey - maybe a big-ish relief on the SC, but no-one knows his wage for sure, apart from him of course, but Mossop will cover his loss.

Smith - Wed on't have a say to be honest. But you never know what can happen in 4 months.

Replaced with

FB - Is K. Hunt of Brisbane worth a pop? Big ££ I know, but won't be signed off his reputation, it would be the fact he's a fantastic FB.
Ryan McGoldrick? Briscoe?

SH - Take the risk, buy Myler!

PR - Lynch or Cayless, props who can just do the hard yards, but I do like the Crabtree rumour, could be a hit at Wigan

What have you been smoking? Not a chance in a million years!

I agree that he would be a fantastic signing.

I know we'll never fight the ARU's type of money off.

Did people know Justim Poore as signed for Eels?
