May have been mentioned before, but why didn't we sign Gilmour to cover for Hock?

FFS. We have a game-breaking left-sided international 2nd rower -

Him and Mossop are the future core of the Wigan pack. We would be stupid not to start playing them both with these injuries. |

Agreed both fantastic talents, rate them both better than Flanagan. Regards Gilmour would have been a great replacement for Hock if we were weak at the backrow position but our strength in depth meant it wasnt happening |

Believe me I know as much as anyone that Gilmour would of done a good job but playing our young players will only do us good in the future and even this season and next season. I want to see at lest 10 players who have come through the academy in our 17. |

Gilmour would have counted in that then 
In all seriousness i'm glad we didn't go for him. He's been a great servant for Saints but in reality we had little to gain from taking a 32 year old second rower rejected by Saints on.
We have players as good as Gilmour in the squad already with lads waiting in the wings who can potentailly become as good in the near future. |

Oh yeh thats right he would  but still my point still stands that he is not long term. If we could get 10 players in our 17 that is the backbone of a team sorted for years to come, it also means we would have more space on the cap to blow on some proper stars from overseas.

The whole point of scrapping releagtion has to be to help us produce more homegrown talent and improve Englands player pool. Clubs can afford to give young players a shot because theres no threat hanging over them but i suppose clubs like Wigan still want to achieve success aswell.
I don't see any reason why we can't have both success and a steady stream of young players coming into the side aslong as the core of the side is experienced and of the right quality.
Thats why the 2 signings we need have to be of the highest quality possible.

I'm not holding my breath for us signing top draw players.
Darrell Griffin and Danny Brough are my bets  |

I just hope Mr Lenagan can pull a couple of rabbits out of his hat we're not expecting and that we'll be happy with.
If we sign only Griffin and Johnson i expect our crowds to be very low at the beginning of next year and thats no good to him.

If our only signings are Griffin and Johnson then the season tickets sales will be down over 1000 again.
The avge att will go through the floor!
At the moment it appears IL hasn't signed anyone.
He's plenty time and plenty quality players out there. He has to be prepared to pay the going rate to sign them. Other clubs are paying it and if we don't then we won't sign anyone!

Agreed.
If Griffin and Johnson are the best we can come up with we literally may aswell not bother.
Keep Hock and Smiths money to one side and see if anybody becomes available during next season. |
