Some prat from Leeds has been doing his damnedest to derail a current thread by wanting to talk about Kevin Sinfield instead of the subject matter at hand, so I thought, rather than watch him try harder and harder and harder to annoy people, finally get himself banned and see all his posts removed, and then go home in triumph because we'd 'gagged him' - and yet still have sunk an otherwise interesting thread - why not start a new one dedicated to his pet subject (among others), where he can sound off all he wants without bugging too many folk.

So here's the question. If Wigan were able to sign any other British-born players currently plying their trade in Super League, with money no option - to arrive at the club next week and start playing straight away - who would you go for?

To avoid ridiculous amounts of transfer activity, perhaps limit it to three - in order of preference.

Would Sir Kev be in there? How would the new-look Saints fare given that at one time we'd have been queuing up to snatch their talent? How about Warrington - a great team, but how many great players do they actually have?

My thoughts, for that they're worth, after admittedly brief consideration, would be as follows:

1) Kallum Watkins - I really like him, and one area where I genuinely worry about us is in the centres. (Ryan Hall would be a good shout, though I don't think we have a pressing need for a new winger).

2) Jonny Lomax - Sorry, but I'm not a Matty Smith fan; willing lad though he undoubtedly is, I don't think he's good enough to play in the halves for Wigan. (Danny Brough would have been a shoe-in at one time, but I hear he comes with baggage, plus he's 30).

3) Eorl Crabtree - I know we're not short of props, but big Earl is a true barnstormer.

No room for Sinfield in my selection. A good player, but we already have a better and younger loose forward, and I'd much sooner have a real stand-off playing in the halves.

Jonny Lomax - at FB not SH as cover for Sam when he leaves.

Danny Brough - May come with Baggage, but, is the best British scrum half in the game, on his day.

Ryan Hall - Best winger in the country, possibly the world.

Kevin Sinfield was been the difference between us going to Wembley/Old Trafford last season. His kicking game, organisation and leadership in that Leeds team is unprecedented - the best I've seen (in terms of leading a side around) since Andy Farrell and he thoroughly deserves his Golden Boot IMO. I have a lot of respect for the bloke and genuinely believe that if we signed him, partnered him with Blake Green we'd win the double this season.

A 1, 6, 7, 9, 13 of:

1. Sam Tomkins
6. Blake Green
7. Kevin Sinfield
9. Michael McIlorum
13. Sean O'Loughlin

No other side could touch that.

Aside from Sinfield I'd go for Crabtree. Awesome prop. Cory Patterson looks a shrewd signing for Hull KR. I like Danny Brough at Huddersfield too. However if you're building for the future I'd take Chris Hill at Warrington.

Like the look of Daryl Clark at Castleford, rumours Leeds were/are interested.

Hardaker, Hill & Roby

Danny Houghton
Kallum Watkins
Big Eorl

Tony P

I know he is old now, but still, he is a cracking player.

Sia Soliola is another i rate very highly

Tom Briscoe or Chris Hill.

A back line of:

Hardaker
Briscoe
Watkins
Moon
Hall

Sinfield
McGuire

Would be very hard to beat.

Hall, Sinfield and Crabtree.

Some interesting 'British' selections so far.

Whoops

That will be me then

RTFQ

In that case i will have Range Chase.......

In all seriousness

Larne patrick

Good call.

Rob Burrow

Crabtree if he wasn't so laid back. (Maybe rile him with pointy stick before sending himout ?)

Hall off Leeds.
