What has that got to do with Wigan scouts watching other teams?

Lads leave clubs all the time for many different reasons and not because they've been told that thet have to play for either IRB or Pats to be picked up.

In the current under 15's Wigan squad there's 3 players who play for Shevy, 1 whose the current captain of Wigan and 1 who made the England Youth squad. How many Pats players?...none!

Kinda blows your argument out of the water!

I agree, there might actually be a time within the next year to two where Green moving on would benefit us long term because we can't hold the likes of Hampshire and Williams back. Our halfback options for the coming season of Green, Smith, Powell, Hampshire and Williams really are excellent. It's a good mixture of age and experience and they cover all the bases of what you need from your halves between them.

There is also the option of Sarginson for stand off who played 6 at London and more recently for England Knights.
Those who went to the Knights game say he played well v Samoa.

I went to the Knights game and he did have a good game. I liked how he constantly took on the line and he linked up well with Sam Powell. I'm pretty excited about what he can bring this year. I think he'll add great utility value and in a better side he should progress and offer us similar options to what Ratchford offers Wire.

I'm excited to see Sarginson in a good side, a very talented player I reckon.

I think what this thread proves is that we have an excellent squad. And with a great coach in Wane, we should be very excited for 2014 and beyond. There's no reason we can't retain at least 1 piece of silverware.
