would deffo look at Dowes as a replacement for Coley, their stats are on a par with each other, Dowes being slightly better for last season

not sure about Stefan Ratchford . wud look at tony club tho

Cashmere,O'Mealy and maybe Randell

You will have to pay big for King, he won't like giving up his £300k pa contract.

Some interesting players OOC.

O'meley would be an immense signing.
Cashmere would be a cheaper option but imo would be a great buy.
Matt King should be considered for the right price.
Stefan Ratchford would be a useful aquisition, can play anywhere really from 1-7. So could be used to replace Deacon at 6/7 or to fight it out in the centre's with the likes of Marsh and Charnley.

For next year we need quite abit of extra experience due to the loss of older heads like Gleeson, Coley, Deacon, Carmont and poss Hoffman. We also need adequate replacements position wise aswell. We look extremely weak in the centres, whilst we also need an extra Prop and cover at the least in the halfbacks. Would love to see IL to try and tempt Cas with a few £ for Rangi Chase though.

Louis Anderson has signed for Catalan and Tony Puletua is wire bound if rumours are to be believed

Would be a beltin buy IMO and would be a good career move for him to possibly push his career to the next level and start challenging for an England shirt.

Other than that we need a FB and a class centre to replace Carmont in the next 12-18 months.

Class FB is priority as I think Sam has shown hes a stop gap there and his best place is S/o. Problem is there are no good british FB at the minute apart from Widdop who I cant see coming - Briscoe would have been up there a couple of seasons, ago but his career has nosedived to almost Simon Haughton proportions. Would have been quite happy with Lance O'hohaia had stains not gone for him.

Only other players I would perhaps like to see us move for would be Matty Bowen, Duggan, or Boyd but could only realistically see Bowen considering it at this point. Also don't know when bowen is off contract.

Would love to see a wigan side in the next year or so with Bowen at FB, Charnley and Richards (

he re-signs) on the wing with Joel and another WC centre in the centres. Finch and Sam in the Halves, with someone like Lunt starting 9 and tommy interchange 9 or vice versa. Add that to our increasingly awsome pack and we'd be worldbeaters

That would be one hell of a pack if they managed to sign Tony Puletua.
