I wondered how long it would be before took his ball home. I never thought he would flourish at union. Hope he isn't on our radar.

i hope he is.

centre + kicker. would fit in really well to the squad.

Would or should we sign Eastmond? Do bears sh#t in the woods, is the Pope a Catholic? Hell, he used to torment us. If we had room on the salary cap Mr Lenagan DO IT!

Should've been the 7 to Tomkins at 6 for years. A genuine world class halfback pairing. If we aren't in for him if he becomes available then I'd have to question our signings policy. He'd be a massive upgrade on what we have.

Yeah, that Tommy Leuluai was garbage, and lance todd winning Matty Smith even worse!!!

As for our signings, I trust our coaches and chairman, not done too bad as of late.

People like you really infuriate me.

We don't need him, our squad and competition for places is very healthy, plus we've some real quality coming through in the academy.

However, to answer the question I would welcome him at Wigan if SW see's it fit to try and get him. The kids got bags of talent.

Id love to know where he would fit in.

Fullbacks - bowen, hampshire, tierney
Stand offs - green, williams, sarginson, hampshire
scrum halves -Smith, powell.

He's never a centre in the memory of man, and if he was....

Thornley
Goulding
Gelling
Sarginson
Hughes.

We dont need him. End of chat.

Without any shadow of a doubt. Great athlete would give us some more strike and also cover across every position in the back line.

He played well at centre when asked to play there by Saints. I agree he was/is not a natural centre but he can play that position very well.

Better than Thornley and Goulding can?

firstly - he is a better half than powell
secondly - he is a better centre than thornley, gelling, sarginson and hughes. he's played there for saints and is a natural ball player who has the ability to fit in anywhere along the backs line.

just because someone has come through the wigan ranks does not mean they are automatically a good player. yes, we would like 1-13 born and bred in Wigan, but if players become available who are better than what we have - we would be fools not to buy them.
for all the potential that willams, tierney, powell have - its no guarantee that they will make it.

You've changed your tune from last year

I have yes. And have admitted being wrong on several occasions.

Disagree. He played centre a few times for saints and defensively hes awful. Powell hasn't had the game time yet but is massively thought of at the club, he was brilliant at Widnes last season.

We have 30 odd players competing for a 25 man squad, we dont need him, we would be signing him for the sake of signing him. Which Wigan wont do. I dont even know why we are discussing it, we wont sign him, we dont need him and we wont bid for him.

iirc he was a semi-permanent sick note when he was younger. I fancy hes even more injury prone a few years later...no thanks
