id take him, make an offer he cant refuse, hes the best forward in super league by far.

I would look to Luke Bailey or Andy Lynch or even Louie McCarthy Scarsbrook before Kylie Leuluai.

yes please

I'll mull it over for a while.

ok ok... we'll throw in mathers. that's got to be the clincher

After reading that article I take it Lee Smith is off contact?



Now he is someone we should be looking to bring to Wigan. A regular for England in the future IMO.



Great at fullback, centre and wing.

phelps and/or mathers making way?

As well as Tim smith!

Both to make way

Why should we get rid of Andy Coley for Louie McCarthy Scarsbrook?

Andy Coley played 4 games



Metres 275





Get him signed!

and of course he'd jump at the chance to leave the small town for the bright lights of wigan

your cod ing i think

He was their stand-out player against Samoa in the WC qualifiers and had a very good game.

if wigan have serious aspirations about truly been title contenders Mcgoldrick imho is not the way to go for you guys.

I've only chimed into this thread late, so apologies if this has already been said, but I wish we would stop talking about signing players like McGoldrick and Dobson. We have our next 'big name' halfback already playing, and if he's a little bit raw, the only way he'll overcome that is by getting reasonably regular first-team action.



For Wigan to kick on to the next stage, we need to stop considering average overseas players. Okay, maybe that's a little harsh on McGoldrick and Dobson, but when this overseas quota finally comes down to a sensible number, only average teams will be including overseasers of that calibre on their books. Yes, McGoldrick and Dobson will play well and occasonally give really superb performances, but the reality is that our overseas slots should only go to top quality Aussies, not willing lads who can't get clubs in the NRL.



I feel that, signing either of these players at the moment would be a big step backwards. Sam wasn't brilliant last Friday, but he wasn't totally out of his depth either. I say keep him in the first team and let's see what happens.

I never suggested replacing Sam with McGouldrick. But I do think he is a very under rated player who could do a very good job for us.



He can play at 1, 3, 4, 6 or 13.



I think he a better fullback or centre than we have at present.

Very good player. But i bet hes using ust to get more out of Leeds.



Same old story.

If we signed RM (as a FB), that would push Pat back onto the wing and then Ainscough out the team.



If we signed him to be 13, Lockers would be out.



...signed him as a 3/4 Carmont/Bailey are out



...signed him as a 6, Sam is out.



All players he would push out who IMO don't deserve to lose thier place.

Can't we get him on some sort of foreign exchange program? Send one of our reserves down to get some first team experience and have LMS come up here to learn Wiganese?

Signing McGoldrick is the same as when we signed Dennis Moran, big fish in a small pond. We need to be looking to sign Lockyer. We should have signed Dobson instead of Smith.



Next season

6- Lockyer

7- Tomkins/Leuluai

9- Riddell/Leuluai

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Lockyer about to sign a new deal at Brisbane, which will keep him there until he retires?

Top word that, I must get it into a conversation in the next couple of days!

Would rather see McGoldrick than him but I think Karl Pryce deserves his chance there before we go signing ANOTHER (IMO) average Aussie

That would be fantastic for a year or 2 IMO



Would generate more money from tickets and merchandise etc



Lockyer wouldn't only give us his playing ability but his leadership and experience qualities



Not to mention, That would be a priceless experience for Sam
