Out: Hoffman, Coley, Gleeson, Deacon
In: An iffy prop forward from Hull and a couple of Crusaders players thrown a lifejacket.
Well IL? Where are our replacements to fill the CC gap that has been created?

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 |

It wasn't a request for information, more a general observation on the seemingly inept procurement of playing staff. But the question remains.
I can't remember the last time I was filled with such a lethargic state of expectation pre season. |

Not even when we just signed Paul Deacon and went on to finish top and win Super League? |

Paul Deacon was a class act, and proven.
We have lost the above and replaced with......
Well I would be interested to hear how anyone can say that we have replaced with equal talent.
And this is not even mentioning Joel leaving.
Zzzzz is a pathetic response to a thread, and not worthy of a reply. |

Hoffman- Hock
Coley- Fielden
O'Carroll- Dudson
Davies- Flower
Gleeson- Joel Tomkins
Deacon- Mellor/Powell/L Tomkins
Thats how it looked but now Joel looks likely to leave so he may be replaced by Goulding or Roberts or according to the League Weekly a new centre from the NRL with any luck.
Overall we're no weaker imo and if guys like Mellor show what they can do we'll be stronger.
Looking forward to the club progressing in 2012.

You've missed out Epalahame Lauaki. Hock is no replacement for Hoffman and Mellor, Powell etc are no replacement for deacon, yet.
We're desperately short of a centre and Carmont is another year older. I would say we are weaker overall but if players like Mossop, McIllorum, Tomkins, Charnley are on stepped contracts, then they will be taking up more of the cap. Hopefully if Tomkins leaves we can spend that on a decent centre. I don't expect a signing the calibre of Renouf/Miles/Lyon etc, but a natural centre would benefit us massively. |

Fielden is already in our squad in case you hadn't realised.
Joel Tomkins is "probably" on his way (and imo is not a centre either)
What about Hoffman?
Are you sure about Deacon?
Oh and we need a centre (and I mean a proper one) #1 priority. |

It doesn't look like we are getting much.
There is/was an article on teletext today, a statement from Sean Wane that he is satisfied with the current playing squad.
[iErgo[/i a member of the press asked the question and wanted a response.
Wane did say he was "looking".
We do seem to have lost some decent players, and only a forward recruited that hasn't really 'set the world alight'.
We are an impatient lot, but at Wigan we expect the best !

As ever you are quite right.
It is definitely the time to judge our squad for 2012 before it has been announced.

Not being mystic meg I am asking the question as we stand now.
Do YOU think we are stronger?
Do YOU think we have replaced adequately?
