Forgot about Gleeson. We have loads of cover for the halves. |

I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I am all out of bubblegum.
Don't you struggle. Don't you fight. Don't you worry, cause it's your turn tonight!

I suppose it depends how you look at it, some would say that one of are starting halfbacks Leuluai isn't really a halfback so were already at a disadvantage from the start. As for replacements it seems on the face of it that we have reasonable cover, perhaps not as good as other clubs but certainly better than some.
I would expect when the new coach comes in he will use 2010 as a year in which to find individual players best positions, such as Leuluai, meaning we could well need a new 7 in 2011 whether from overseas or homegrown, but for next year we should be OK in the half's although it's not ideal.

When Maurice sold me to Leeds something changed, it just not the same, the passion inside me just wasn’t the same as running out at Central park for my hometown club.
We need a change of culture here; we don’t want to be just happy with playing ok on Saturday at St Helens.
Ill make sure that from now on things will change, that players will be under pressure and will train a lot harder than they have before.

Appears Northampton are using him as their "face" of the new season, assuming that is him in the press releases!

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go

Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

No. The photo showed him being the victim of a spear tackle. He played Hooker that day.  |

Only the first 3 are any good at it though, I think O'Loughlin is one of the most underated in SL.

Phelps to 6, Richards to 1, Ainscough to 5. I worry about our kicking game though, was pretty rubbish this year and isn't likely to improve. Gleeson is pants at stand off.

Until we get a 7 ala Dobson/Fien/Orford (3 players who we havent signed for various reasons) our kicking game and last tackle options will suck, because Tommy doesn't have it in him.

"Games as big as a grand finals define individuals and clubs. Remember we are only renting these shirts, I had my time in Pat Richards shirt. Ellery and Faz had there time in Sean's, Hampo and Radders in Sam's. You have to make a mark in these shirts that's still there the day you hand it over to someone else. So be aware for 80 minutes you are not only playing but also writing history and creating a legacy. How many people get to actually write history, not many. A big stage demands big players, be inspired. You play for Wigan, now go do it. Good luck." - Martin Offiah, 2010.:27588.gif |

Our kicking game badly lets us down, and is one of our main worries for next year. I always wonder why Phelps doesn't have more of a part in the kicking game. I have only seen him once or twice controlling the kicking, especially against Saints on MT, where his kicking game was very tidy. Also on Friday he put a really good kick in which nearly resulted in a 40/20. What are people's thoughts on Phelps as one of our kickers?

I've seen them bomb a quarter final, bottle a semi final, finish as league leaders, but I've still, never, seen the Wire win the league

yeah phelps showed on friday he is an option and i would like to see him used more. i hate seeing lockers kick, especially from range. pat should be used here.
back to the title though i actually think our halves are good enough to mount a challenge. most teams would kill to have sam and i think tommy is vastly underated. he is very threatening with ball in hand and has a great short kicking game.
