Blake Green is a good signing. Matty Smith isn't. They should have signed Sean Long to run the attack from the sidelines. It was him who built the structures that made Smith look good.

You don't think the best attacking side in the league will have some good offensive plays for Smith, and a better forward pack to work off?

He's an average player that'll fit into a system. You would hope that you would want more than that from your first choice scrum half.

I've always liked the look of Green.... i think he will go well for Wigan.

All good halves play behind a good pack. Problem solved.

In the current climate, and for the forseeable future, the calibre of overseas signings will lessen. I can see a whole lot more Toyota Cup players heading this way. Fair play to HKR for snaring Burns, but that willbe pretty much the end of it.

Could do with a Jonathon Thurston mad monday 'jape' going 'wrong' about this time next year!

Two good players who will go OK for Wigan next year so long as the Wigan pack give them the opportunity, but hardly likely to 'set the world alight' or become MoS contenders. If Briers had called it a day this season, and/or Myler picked up a career ending injury then I would be totally underwhelmed if Smith and/or Green were brought in as their replacements.

Some people have Ratchford down as a full-back, but I see him as our future number 6, alongside either Myler or O'Brien depending on their future progression.

So if you had to go into the market to replace either or both, who would you sign? In other words, who else should Wigan have signed? I'm not overwhelmed with these signings, particularly Smith, but pickings are slim at the moment and don't look likely to improve any time soon.

I honestly don't know who'd be available that I'd want us to sign, fortunately it's something (as a fan) that I can put off thinking about for another 12 months. I guess it's a sign of the times that the UK salary cap, the Aussie Salary Cap and the lack of quality halfbacks means that even the 'mighty' Wigan Warriors can only find good (rather than great) replacements for Finch and Leulai [i(sp)[/i.
