We need to keep King for absolute certain he would be very, very difficult to replace. Ashton and Dean I would like to see given contracts as I think they both have bags of potential that I would like to see under Powells guidance. If hill wants to stay i would definitely be giving him a year deal, if he wants to go to leigh to finish his career then he should be allowed that choice.

Lineham and Mamo I would keep personally but the rest I wouldn't be too upset to lose from a first team perspective.

Probably got him in the wolfie costume booked in for turning on Wigan Christmas lights.

I hadn't seen much, then took a hit of notice when the rumours came out and wasn't impressed but his last couple of matches he's been really good. Ignore the nonsense about him being at leigh and so underwhelming too, never hurt with bryson Goodwin.

I think he will go alright, I really like Mamo but realistically it's better to have a specialist centre. Mamo is better on the wing IMO (I like him a lot though, attitude and effort are always bang on and he doesn't lack for ability either).

You know why you like him on the wing, cos he's not had a run on the wing for a while so hasn't been exposed like he was previously.

And peanut (I've given up on his surname) isn't a specialist centre, he's been shift led between there fb and stand off(and wing) since moving to cas.

He's essentially a Samoan Ratchford

That's not a bad thing, don't think he has the same skill set as Ratch though. Our whole right edge has been exposed at times this season.

Anyway in Powelly we trust.

This also isn’t an unknown signing, there is usually some uncertainty with signings in terms of what the club can expect. With Mata'utia he’s a known quantity, Powell knows exactly what he’s getting from him and he knows why he’s bringing him in, I think it’s a positive move.
