I see a few teams have released squad numbers for this year, gives a bit of an insight usually to who is in the thoughts of the coach as starters. I noticed Wigan's this week, I was quite underwhelmed if I'm honest.

Wigan Warriors 2013 Squad List
1. Sam Tomkins
2. Josh Charnley
3. Darrell Goulding
4. Jack Hughes*
5. Pat Richards
6. Blake Green.
7. Matthew Smith*
8. Epalahame Lauaki*
9. Michael McIlorum
10. Lee Mossop
11. Harrison Hansen
12. Liam Farrell*
13. Sean O'Loughlin
14. Gareth Hock*
15. Ben Flower*
16. Chris Tuson*
17. Iain Thornley*
18. Wigan Fans
19. Paul Prescott*
20. Gil Dudson*
21. Scott Taylor
22. Anthony Gelling*
23. Logan Tomkins*
24. Sam Powell*
25. Rhodri Lloyd*
26. Dom Crosby.

While it has to be said, a lot of local talent. But other than 1,5,13,14 I don't see any real class. A few 'wobbly' players too, Hughes and Lauaki are suspect.

Anyone else released squad numbers yet?

Darryl Goulding was one of the top scorers a few years back, got an England cap, then went to the back of the queue again.
6 and 7's track records are established as mediocre at average (being generous) clubs. Compared to Tommy Leuluia and Finch...
9 should be better than he is, loses his head to much, and loses focus. Needs a big year, but can do it.
10 is an international but is by no means a Lima. He's going to have to up his game to lead that pack.
11 hasn't kicked on from being the emerging talent. He gets rocked in the big games and doesn't make as big an impact as he should. Personally, I rate Farrell higher, but he needs to add some size.
18 is the biggest in the league, for 70 minutes

IF fit, our backline isnt all that bad, can challenge teams to avoid bottom.

#Worrying times (when we pick up injuries on the Injury-Pitch)

Fages? Hope he gets some game time for sure! Although it's a shame he will come through in a side in such trouble, I hope that doesn't hinder him.

And if this French kid is any good he'll join us, as is tradition.
