| Quote ShortArse="ShortArse"firstly - he is a better half than powell
secondly - he is a better centre than thornley, gelling, sarginson and hughes. he's played there for saints and is a natural ball player who has the ability to fit in anywhere along the backs line.
just because someone has come through the wigan ranks does not mean they are automatically a good player. yes, we would like 1-13 born and bred in Wigan, but if players become available who are better than what we have - we would be fools not to buy them.
for all the potential that willams, tierney, powell have - its no guarantee that they will make it.'"
Disagree. He played centre a few times for saints and defensively hes awful. Powell hasn't had the game time yet but is massively thought of at the club, he was brilliant at Widnes last season.
We have 30 odd players competing for a 25 man squad, we dont need him, we would be signing him for the sake of signing him. Which Wigan wont do. I dont even know why we are discussing it, we wont sign him, we dont need him and we wont bid for him.

| Well, no doubting his talent. But, he treated Stains badly, he seems to be unhappy with his current team, would he fit into our "team" ethic...?

| Sam Powell has massive potential and Eastmond isn't a , so i would put Matty smith as a replacement hooker and have Eastmond starting 7 with blake green for this season at 6 and then let them fight it out for the next season.
Also this is a real chance to see if Marwan is up to signing a legit superstar.

| Personally. I cant see the point in splitting up a double winning half back partnership, but each to their own.

| Difficult one. I'm not sure where we'd put him without upsetting the apple cart but if he is available it's rare to have the oportunity to sign a player with that quality.
IMO he needs to play at FB or in the halves. Too small for centres. If possible (assuming Hardaker is nonesense) I'd sign him and loan him to Wakefield/London for a season to find his feet in league before replacing Bowen.

| No thank you, don't like his attitude. He is a Rugby mercenary and I prefer players who think it is a honour to play for WIGAN RL!

Always has been and always will be the case. The fact is in the past we have done this despite having good players in certain positions already and it is part of why we have the record we do.
Fans may be loyal to players but if the club starts being so when better players are available, we are stuffed.

Not to mention whichever union club he was at coaching all the talent out of him.

| Quote 21-12="21-12"Yeah, that Tommy Leuluai was garbage, and lance todd winning Matty Smith even worse!!!
As for our signings, I trust our coaches and chairman, not done too bad as of late.
People like you really infuriate me.'"
Perhaps I should've been clearer at the time, I meant those two as a pairing for England at 6 and 7. Quite happy with Smith. I look at us signing Sarginson and think Eastmond would be a lot better.
