We are looking pretty strong in this department at the moment. I’d probably go as far as to say as a combination, the three that played tonight are the best I’ve seen at the HJ. Three absolute class players.

Hughes is the second best signing we made this year.

Currie has it all, he really does.

Westerman has been outstanding so far this season.

The work these three get through is obscene, but there’s brains behind it, it’s not all grunt. I’m loving all three.

Would you drop any of them for Westwood when fit?

100%

Bennie was MOM in our game against HKR just before he got his ban and injury.
But perhaps a bit more beef and bench Prop would be best

Can't remember who said it or which thread it was in but there was a comparison between our back three and the Pies back three. Full strength Wigan look pretty strong with Tomkins/Bateman/O'Loughlin. Looking forward to the battle when it comes around. Like Morresywire I've not made it a secret my admiration of Mr Currie, I just hope we can keep him in SL and not lose him to the NRL.

I think Westerman and Hughes are only just starting to show what they are capable of. From the highlights I saw, there was a bit more running with the ball from Westerman against Cas and I would like to see the same from Hughes. But the two of them have only played 6 games for us and must surely still be settling in and getting used to our pattern of play / team mates. In the meantime I thought Benny played really well in the first two games, despite the fact he is 34. My thoughts were more along the line of 'sign him up for another year please'.

I think its just great that we have good back up players in the majority of positions all over the park. To think that if there is a drop in form from any of Currie, Hughes and Westerman then Ben Westwood can just drop seamlessly in and cover all those positions without compromising the level on the pitch, and vice versa of course.
