That would be Liam Finn. Who is 30 this year and has only managed 2 games for Wakefield in Super League and that was 9 years ago. He would have been a better option than Howarth as a loan signing, but there is no long term solution to be found there.

As I said, I didn't know who it was or how old etc, but someone on here was definitely banging his drum a lot the other week!

Looks like a Wilkin/Hohaia partnership for the rest of 2013.

Time to give George Ndaira a call.

Hooker but gave some cracking international performances at scrum half over here a few years back.

Never quite made it at Nrl level - now player coach at a lower level.

Always thought hed be a great squad player.

Still only 28.

I'd take the majority of those forwards over Perry and Laffranchi.

There are a few potentials in the Championships (I do watch Premier Sports!) but as to their names and whether they are 7s that is another matter! Barrow has a very nifty halfback who is now injured but I think he is a 6.

Scott Kaighan? and yes he is a #6

Honestly as a Wigan fan coming in peace we currently have two halfbacks in

- Powell ( not getting game time due to Logan Tomkins
- Ryan Hampshire ( just scored three in the U19's game between Wigan and Saints)

Both would bust a gut if an opportunity to play for Saints and prove themselves to the Wigan coaching staff came about.

Surly that's better than a 30 year old from the Championship?

When faced with the influence of Leeds + other Yorkshire sides have on SL both the Lancashire power players need to work together and help each other out. I know both the Wigan and Saints chairman have a good relationship.

This SHORT TERM deal works for both.

No disrespect to the lads, but we've got unproven half backs of our own, such as Charnock who isn't in the squad this week. Brown seems more keen on playing experienced players out of position, rather than throwing kids in at the deep end, when it comes to the halves.

Honestly that's fair enough but both seem to be showing promise at Wigan but have two decent players in front of them.

No point you struggling and them sitting in the stands imo.

Some might not agree but I really want both our teams to the top sides in the league.
Massive derby games played at Wembley and Old Trafford etc. That benefits both of us.

I see the point and agree with it somewhat, however, I can't see Saints putting Wigan's young lads in before our own. We need to develop our own young lads and to take a loan on Wigan's up and comers would be a real kick in the teeth for Charnock who is very nearly at SL level.

Only me that thinks sergeant pepper's taking the p1[iss[/i then

Er No! But most of us has the good sense to ignore!!!!!!

Isn't Charnock a loose forward?

It's a serious post from him.

In your opinion. I happen to think he taking the P.
