Has Wane made a good signing? Thinking about it off the top of my head, there has been Lauaki, Gelling, Smith, Dudson and Flower. Then adding Green. I've not seen anything that will add much to their team, actually, with a fit squad none of them would get a jumper. Long may it continue Mr Wane.

I hope you're still in Sally Cinnamon mode. If not, you're seriously implying that Wane is a better coach than Tony Smith?

Thornley as starting centre? Who is in reserve after this disaster waiting to happen.

[iBlake / Matty [/i- that's not in italics its just that I was shaking in fear so much when I wrote their names next to each other.

Prescott / Mossop - two injury prone first choice props is not the way forward especially when one is only good enough for the fourth prop slot.

Dudson - how many Super League games has he played. Big responsibility (considering your first choice props will be injured half teh season at least nbetween them)

Lauaki - I'm feeling a bit glum this morning after last night so go on tell me again you signed him on a four year contract to cheer me up. When the best people can say about a player is "he isn't a bad as we thought he was going to be" says it all.

Interchange hooker - you need an interchange hooker. Who would play if McIllorum had to go in hospital to have his eye-sight straightened? You can't seriously expect Tomkins to be first choice, let alone 80 minutes.


Still Wigan will be ok. Enoiugh decent players to make you a top end team however even with Sam Tomkins in that sqaud I don't think it is good enough to win trophies and if he got injured it is a 5th to 8th place team next year.


As for no better stand-offs than "Blakes 7" being available then are people seriously suggesting he's better than Chase, Holdsworth, Brown and Burns?

I know nothing of Burns so can't comment.

Chase - Maybe a better player, but poor attitude, bagage, and almost certainly more expensive in both transfer and wages. I'd imagine Blake would fit in with the attitude of a top team more.

Brown - Already signed up for Widnes and what's to say he would have wanted to go back?

Holdsworth - He's good, I like him, would Salford be willing to let him go, and is a bit older. I think of your list he's the only one i'd prefer at Warrington than Blake

It must be wonderful living life in your little dream world, I bet reality hits you real hard now and again.
