| Who would you want to come in? Personally, I think Blake Green would do a good job if we could get him. I think with the amount of good ball our pack would provide he could be really special.

| There's not really any realistic signings we can make who could match Finch's ability but Matty Smith could play a similar role and develop into a quality player under Wane and Harris so I'd go for him and so is IL.

| Wigan being linked with Jamie Soward from St George by the Aussie press on a 3 year deal. Matty Smith also heavily linked.

20333_1393344959.gif Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_20333.gif |

| If Finch leaves then I'd want a halfback who can organise, doesn't matter which team he plays for but we do need an organiser as Smith will provide a kicking game.

| Last nights Manchester Evening News stated that Saints,Widnes and Wigan are to put offers in for Smith,it also stated that Wigan are showing a lot of interest in Rangi Chase.
God help us if the latter is true.

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

| If Finch were to leave, several member of this board will probably throw themselves in the cut....

| I'd like to think we are doing everything possible to try and persuade finch to stay, looking at the amount of remaining space we have left on the cap I think he'd be one of few players worthy of giving that bit extra and maybe giving us a chance of competing with the NRL. I know we've signed Thornley but when you consider who we are losing there must be a massive amount to play with. I'd imagine that if Fielden can recover and with Mossop Preccy Spencer and the rest then I can't see us being desperate to replace Lima. And a high class replacement for Carmont is going to be hard to come by. We just can't afford to lose both him and Tommy.

| I liked Barrett, but for me, Finch is even better. I'll be gutted if he goes.

| Terry O'Connor slipped up in SL Extra time last night when Carney was talking about Leuluai and Finch. Terry said Wigan will have a big job on replacing both of them. Sounds to me like he knows more than most.
Well played last night btw, fantastic display and very worthy winners. Hope from a Leeds PoV that it's the kick in the pants we have needed for a while now.

I thought that when Terry said it, however Wane seemed genuine when he said he would do everything he could to keep him.
Feeling a bit more confident that he'll stay after hearing what Wane said about him.

| What about promote a British halfback instead of just relying on imports?
Surely in Wigan's youth set up there is a good halfback worth promoting, Wigan have always had a great history of producing great halfbacks like Edwards, Gregory, even Sean Long although he ended up at the Saints.
At Warrington our youth set up is obviously crap compared to Wigan but we look to sign young British halfbacks like Myler and Ratchford, its the way the game needs to go forwards if we are to challenge the Aussies.
