| What about, if Reardon can get fit, trying him at centre and seeing if he can earn himself a contract as a centre? As a winger i am not convinced he will be retained

Neither Nero or Platt deserve dropping.

IIRC Reardon was a centre in his junior days but shifted to wing/fullback because he's not a great passer of the ball.
His ability to read the game in defence isn't great either and that's on the wing which is an easier position to defend than centre in my experience.
Like you I'm not convinced he'll be retained unless we can't get/afford anyone better. I'd hope we have someone with a bit of potential in the U20s who could come in.

Wardle could do just as well imo.

If he's fit, I'd say yes. I used to be a huge critic of Calderwood in his Leeds days, but I think when he was at Wigan, he came on quite a bit. Had a lot of injury problems at Hull though.
IMO, he's better than Sheriffe and Reardon though.

Definitely better than Reardon, and probably better than Rikki if he's 100%, but given his problems with injury it would be another risk. The one with Reardon hasn't really paid off yet.

Expecting Reardon to slot straight back in after 18 months of injury problems was always a gamble. Knowing our luck we'll let him go and he'll go back to playing to his ability and we'll have basically done his rehab. If Hull have done the same year long rehab for Calderwood he'd be worth a year.

Too weak in defence. He's no doubt a talent with the ball, but his defence is shocking. With the way we've defended this year, I'm not so sure I'd want someone even worse coming into the side. If he could improve that side of his game, I don't think Wigan would be so willing to let him go.

They have Richards, Roberts, Phelps & Pryce who are all better than Pryce. With (probably) a few more youngsters joining the squad then they will have to offload some.
I'd take Ainscough, lots of potential and defence is something that can be worked on.

And yet, you haven't included yourself as the head coach. Have you been asked not to put it up until they properly announce you?
