| Smith needs to be given some game time next season. Especially as we could be looking for two new halves in 2021.

Isa will be a starter I’m sure of it,the others on the need shipping out but Clubb ain’t going anywhere fast with his new deal is he?
Other than that I’d play that side just swapping out Greenwood for isa

Personally I'd go
1. French
2. Marshall
3. Hardaker
4. Gildart
5. Burgess
6. Hastings
7. Sammut
8. G.Burgess
9. Powell
10. Flower
11. Isa
12. Farrell
13. Smithies
14. Bullock
15. Greenwood
16. Partington
17. Smith
I'll be glad to see Manfredi back out on the pitch if that happens, can't count on him as a starting winger after what he's been through. Would like to move on from Clubb, Leuluai and Lockers to give Partington, Smith and Smithies more chances but can't see that happening bar injury.
Edit: forgot Bullock

I wouldn't say he brings nothing, and I know you've said that for years regardless of how well he has played. His experience and leadership makes a big difference, especially in a year when we've lost Williams. I just think there's too big a risk of him leaving us with 16 men, and don't think he can even raise his performances even for a one off game anymore, the pace has left him behind.

Willie Isa is one of the worse SRs who’s played consistently at Wigan for years. He should be no where near the team let alone a starter. He’s a contributing factor to a weak pack.
Undersized, barely breaks a tackle let alone the line. Barely runs lines as he’s also now lacking pace; which is odd considering he started off in the outside backs.
Bout time he was shipped off and we got serious about our back row. Our pack was embarrassing as times this season.

I actually agree. But it was a case of picking who’s left.
Partington is a poor prop has no go forward whatsoever.

Not disagreeing with you but Isa will be a starter of that I’m sure or at worst on the bench we fans can play keyboard coach all we want be we ain’t in charge and it seems Wane and now Lam think highly of the lad.

Completely agree about Isa. If you look around the competition and see second rowers in other teams it’s baffling how Isa is playing week in week out for Wigan.
People go on about him trying hard but he offers absolutely nothing and it is a position we really need to address!

We need another back rower. Ideally a right-sided SR. People need to get real and demand more of what each player offers. A weak pack doesn’t win anything. It’s a disgrace how people are even mentioning him as a starter. They need to wake up and demand more of a wigan player.

| Agree with those who are 6'4".
Don't know about Havard and Byrne but Burgess and Bullock I've seen somewhere they're both 6'5" and Clark is 6'3". Those five would be ideal for the 17. Two starting with 3 on the bench. If Greenwood was 2nd row and he's 6'5" then we are going towards a big pack. Faz and Smithies or Lockers to complete what I'd regard as our best starting pack.
After those there'd be Flower and Partington with Clubb as back up.
Isa would be 2nd row back up.
Powell to do the 80.

I haven’t seen enough of Clarke to comment but I think the above speaks volumes. That being said sometimes a player just needs to find the right club and coach to shine, Salford are a testament to that.
He’ll need to be given a chance by Lammy obviously but more so us too, me included. With Flower, Clubb and Navarette surely coming towards the end of their Wigan careers; there’s gaps to fill and opportunities to take them. That’s a big prize to dangle above anyone’s head and that should motivate the props. If not, there’s plenty where they came from ready to take your place.
