Not keen on bringing in Tony Clubb as an addition or a replacement.

Stick with the youngters. If Marsh is given the right coaching (which he undoubtley will under MaGuire/Wane) he will become a fine centre for you. The other option is to slot Joel Tomkins in there as you allready have a wealth of back rowers and maybe invest the money on another first class Prop to complement Coley, Lima, Fielden. Added to which if Fielden is out for the length of time (4 months) as quoted on here a Prop maybe the perfect signing for Wigan.

Does anyone of any generation from IL down to the youngest of our supporters old enough to use a keyboard actually think this?

Anyone who knowns anything about Wigan and its history on signing players will know its how good a player you are that gets you a game here. Not where you come from, what the colour of your skin is or anything else. It's one of the things that has always given me pride in the club.

I also support the club trained/federation trained rules but ensuring clubs have enough locally produced players is not mutually exclusive to bringing in top players when the clubs finds one available. I'd be very disapppointed if we ever stopped being able to sign top class Aussies as well.

If Wigan decide more expeience is required in the centres if a certain player leaves the club I will be quite happy if they can find a suitable player. Personally I think its too early for either of the young players mentioned to take over a centre spot full time.

I hope to god this isnt true. Waste of time, money and effort imo. If we are going to spend money lets make sure its quality that is worth splashing out for.

Do you for one minute believe it is?...

Missed more tackles than any other players in SL last season - no thanks.

Another who is hyped way beyond their actual talent because of where he's from.

I have never rated him and initially my thought would be not a chance,.......but.......I just wonder what player he could become in our system.

I do not for one second think the Quins backroom is anywhere near as good as ours. He has without doubt the physical gifts to make an excellent centre. He is big and strong, I have questions about his pace, but I think the potential is there in the right system to improve on this.

He has all the gifts to be a very good player much in the same way Karl Pryce has, hopefully though in our system he would have a better chance of reaching them.

Maybe we needed to get rid of someone to allow Hock back in June?

Far easier to sack someone for xxx reason than just offer a player a 6 month deal (which he'd probably reject anyway).

No way! Use the money to sign a good 9 and upgrade players contracts plus bring hock back.

Or a good 6/7 (whichever Finch doesn't play) and move Tommy to 9 with McIlorum.

Acton's been very impressive so far, but not ready for SL yet, IMO. I do think he's going to be a future star for us, though, and definitely has more potential than Clubb.

Well I know one thing. That after watching the World club challenge, Mark Gasnier is no-where near the centre he was.

we could always switch joel to centre and by doing that it means theres more room in the second rows for when hock gets back.

Leave Clubb were he is and concentrate on the youngsters we have. I believe we have a couple with more potential then Clubb anyway so it would seem a waste.

Whilst Clubbs game does seem to have come on a little I can't help but feel the majority of his rep is based solely on scoring 4 trys against a bunch of part time players from PNG.

I totally agree. We already have centres that are far better than the likes of Clubb.
