Of the new signings, I'd say Lima most.

I'm looking forward to seeing how Leuluai goes at 9 though.

After seeing Tommys performances as starting hooker for NZ in this years 4N I dont think we have got anything to worry about in this dept , especially rotating with McIlorum if he has a big pre season and continues to kick on from the excellent form he was showing at the back end of last season.

Obviously as with every one else I am looking forward to seeing the 3 aussies. But also want to see how the Wigan lads react to the competition, for example Farrell was outstanding when he broke in to the team and if he kicks on its going to be difficult not to find a place for him in the 17. Exciting times!

Aside from the new signings and Hock:

1. McIllorum - Big effort in the final, he needs to step it up a gear now that Piggy's gone and I've got a feeling he will. Love his aggression, especially as it's showing in the right way. Definitely the guy you want on a cold, muddy night in Salford.

2. Mossop - I know there's a lot of competition in the pack but I just can't see how we can leave this guy out. My favourite aspect of his game is when the opposition are taking it out of the 20, he stops them finding the floor, forces them back and stops the quick ptb.

3. Prescott - The end of the season came at the wrong time for Prescott, I'd been bagging him all year then he came out with great performances at the end of the year. If he kick on next year he'll be very fun to watch!

Hope Joe Mellor has got over last seasons injury, exciting prospect.

1, Finch, but more importantly how he creates a partnership in the halves. So important to any team.
2, Tommy at 9, out played Luke in the NZ v Aus game last week, can't wait to see him make the 9 shirt his own.
3, Sam, he justs gets better and better.

Agreed, he looks like he could be another lad with the world at his feet, I also think Farrell and Mossop could be very exciting to watch given they have had the experience of first team this year and another offseason behind them.

Matt King!

Apart from the new guys, Joe Mellor

Gareth Hock

Interesting that quite a few people are saying Mossop. On a recent thread there was a lot of criticism of Mossop, which I didn't understand at the time and I'm really glad to see he has his supporters - he's a good player already and has fantastic potential. He's in the best place in British RL to realise that potential and I agree that watching him next season is a very exciting prospect.

I totally forgot about Tommy tbh.

Has been outstanding at 9 for the kiwis and has perhaps been the form hooker of the 4 nations
(just to echo what a few other people have said on here)

I cannot wait for next year. It has been a good few years since i have felt like this.

I think Mossop will have a huge impact next season. He started 2010 season in great form.
And his beautiful face isn't the only reason I think this..

I am sensing a recurring theme with your posts Charlotte.
