In the absence of signing any new backs that's what my first choice would be as well. I'm a bit concerned about the pace in that backline though, especially with Currie out for a good while as well.

Plus One.

Atkins was put on the Wing in the cup game at Dewsbury. Dropped 2, put in touch, overran twice and not one break. Against Dewsbury... Atkins is on the wing is a terrible idea.

Don't you think, if Atkins had a good game....he may get stuck there?
Conspiracy thing, but it has validation.

Interesting Dave Taylor being available, he could do a good job somewhere?

Are we signing a new First Team Coach or extending/(extended) Richard Agar?

This rumor about George Williams signing from Wigan as our Marquee player won't go away.Just looking on their fans forum & they seem to think that he's coming to Wire aswell.Hope this is true.

If it is then sandow must be on his way out of the club. We need outside backs more than half backs but he is a brilliant player. Maybe we should have a cheeky bid for gelling as well.

I'd take Gelling every day of the week. Gelling and Watkins... *Drools*

Watkins is quite obviously not going anywhere this season. Leeds wouldn't promo their latest kit and clothing range using him to model it if he was even close to leaving. Moon would be more readily available.

If you're looking to target a high profile centre, Percival would be my choice. The closest thing to a genuine 'wingers centre' for a long time.

I think Gelling is probably the most likeable Wigan player in my lifetime. He's also a brilliant centre, I'd love to see him at wire but doubt that will ever happen.

Just don't let him near the coffee tables in reception.

Thing is, he's not a brilliant centre, he's a terrible centre, he's just an awkward human being and also at times an awkward rugby league player, he's got good mobility for his size and big arms which just makes him awkward and clumsy in attack, Who's capable of having matches where he stinks the place out as well as the matches where he seems unplayable.

His challenge is getting consistency under his belt.

That's a perfect summary of Gelling. ...he's not that good at all. ..

Had Atkins produced that dreadful forward pass to Charnley in the grand final people would have needed hospitalisation on here such would be the outbursts of "he's a terrible centre that can't pass."

Scoring an interception try kissing your badge and doing a forward roll does not a great centre make......

he's a character. ....once of few in the game. That's all. ...
