Quote: Gotcha "I would say Briscoe, Watkins, Hurrell, Lolohea, Parcell, Merrin, Ward, and Cuthbertson were top four players, and would get into other sides in the top four. They are right on rest, they are in the main just your average squad fillers to make the team a team. However, there is some quality younger ones who could hit that star player. But the standard of the game means you can possibly get away with that. But when you see predicted teams labelled out and a player like Singleton consistently starting prop, that does highlight a weakness.'"
See, i’d tend to agree however I think we also need to remember the fact we have a new coach who might implement some structure. Wigan over the past few years have had some very average players look international class because of how they have fitted into their system. It will be very interesting to see how some of our players we now think of average fair with more structure and a place in an overall system with better defined duties.
If Furner manages to get the likes of Ferres, Ablett and Cuthbertson back to anywhere near their best suddenly the pack doesn’t look as weak. I’m excited to see what he can get out of our existing squad as much as our new star players.
