Havent you just contradicted yourself there? You say he should know better than to crow before the dawn and then you go on to say Im looking forward to taking your scalp when it means most. Make your mind up

And were only saying that we're happy with the players we have that play & cover that position in Phelps/Roberts & Richards with Goulding/Ainscough to cover Pat/Roberts if they move to FB.

If Wire need a New FB, but I'm sure you don't with Richie & Riley your 1st picks for that position, then feel free to speculate on signing him.

Wigan Don't atm and given the nature of the Salary cap and timing being everything when players become available it was always a non-starter for Wigan.

I realise that bud, its just for years we have been told by anyone and everyone, that we should promote from within, and as soon as we start doing that we are told we are arrogant for not wanting to sign lee smith, who in my opinion, isnt that good, he was shown up in the internationals last season, and is living off one great grand final appearance (Leroy Rivet had a good final and look where he ended up). Granted i dont see him everyweek, so he may be the next Inglis.

Personally I would rather us to promote one of the young lads in the centres when Carmont leaves.

What's that you said earlier about Fishing? It didn't take long to get an exiled Scouser from No-mans land to bite!

And I bet you're on school holidays.

nope college holidays. i'm 25.

were in my post do i say i wouldnt swap anyone in the wigan 13.

here just 3 i wouldnt think twice about

Fielden-graham

Coley- morley

tommy- eastmond

But having a salary cap you cant have that talant in one team..with £1.6m to spend i'm very happy with the wigan team.

For what it's worth, I think you probably will take our scalp at some point this season. Strange things do happen. Even when we were crap, we had no problem taking yours.

But, as I've said many times, Wigan are not the finished article yet. I doubt they'll finish top this year. If truth be told, they haven't played particularly well in recent weeks, and their form needs to improve sharply.

But I genuinely believe that you lot now have a lot of lost ground to catch up on. You may do it, but it's a big ask. That said, don't keep going on about having masses of injuries. When we were facing relegation we had a monumental injury list for most of the first half of the year - and nobody outside Wigan gave a hoot. It's an unforgiving game. Keep talking about inujries and people will respond by saying it's an excuse - which, in an era when RL is all about having large and flexible squads, it basically is.

well the smith issue is all done and dusted now . we can move on to the next players who is or isnt signing for one club or another . if that makes sense

yes Lockers is the best 13 in SL in my opinion

What about Phelps-Mathers???
