Do you think they’ll be ready come 2020? Hearing good things on both but we may just need somebody to plug a gap for a year or two around then to give them chance to come through. That’s assuming Williams stays as well because if he goes then we’ll probably need two players aside from the year of Lam between now and the start of 2020.

Matty and Blake will be too old by then

Shorrocks and Woods and Hampshire before them were also waiting in the wings. I like the young wiganers as much as anyone, but they don’t always develop to be the players we expect.
