Hold on! Are you sure we are talking about the same player here? Maybe he wasn't up to much in his Wigan days, but if you look at his stats since he has been with the Giants you would have to agree he has become a fantastic player and a workaholic on the pitch. I guess that Wild, Brown and Robinson weren't the players they are now otherwise you would have at least kept one of them. Anyway, I'm grateful enough....I'll just wait for the coaching staff to turn against Tomkins and we'll come to the rescue!

| If we were to keep one of them it would have been Kevin Brown IMO. A very under rated player who really wanted to play for Wigan. Sadly for him and the others he came into a side with a pack that was crumbling and very little support from his new forwards.

Played off the park by Westwood/L Anderson/Harris and most notably Paul Johnson IMO.
As I said earlier, Jon Wilkin was making 35 tackles a match early season, When it gets tough though he goes missing!
Rogues got it spot on, Luxury player who can make you look silly when things are going well, if not then may as well not be on the pitch in the position he plays!

| There's only Briscoe I'd want back; but Phelps is doing a great job at the moment.

| SR is not a problem area at Wigan as some people have said, but who would complain if we brought him in for next season?
Maybe SR is not a problem but he could of been a great centre and we had problems with that position for years.
Looking back Briscoe and Wild would of been good to keep, but decisions were made and we didn't keep them, get over it, it's not like we had a say in the matter.
One more thing though, if any other club had let young players like that go they probably would not see good young players like that for some time where as Wigan have them coming through every years and just look around super league and see how many x wigan players there are.

| Quote: Bilko "I'm happy enough about Wigan. We've a young team with a geniune prospect to build round and it hasn't been that bad a season. We are also not kicking kids out under the new regime like Maurice used to do for fun. Our youth system can only reap rewards to come.
I just think we need to get the coaching position clarified one way or the other.'"
My thoughts exactly.
We’ve got a good young team that has shown it’s potential a few times this season and the longer they play together the better they will become.
IMO there are plenty more positives than negatives at the moment and our future looks a lot more assured than some other teams.

Works harder than just about any other player I have seen in Super league and tackles like a demon. The thing is from a Giants fan point of view, you just know he would love to still be at Wigan.'"
I think he has proved to be a decent signing for Huddersfield but you have to give a lot of credit to Nathan Brown who seems to have really got the players working well together as a team, particularly in defence although as Brown said himself a number of players didnt perform on the day on Saturday and semeed to let the occasion get to them.....i was suprised to see Earl Crabtree with the camcorder prior to the game, he hardly looked focused and just looked happy to be at Wembley.
During his Wigan days i thought Wild always looked promising imo Danny Tickle seemed to offer more at that stage of his career and i was more disapointed that Tickle had to leave more than Wild.

| the only one id have back is briscoe but under the circumstances the lad wanted first team rugby and he wasnt going to get that when super kris was still here.
brown could of been big at wigan but he was in the squad at the wrong time- he had a half back partner who was possibly the worst half back to play for wigan and he also did not get the propper break through he seemed to get thrusted into first team action.

| Wild went because he was poor at the time.
He is now, decent enough but I wouldnt have him back.

I agree he did not have the best form when we let him go but come one this season he has been one of the top players and will be one of the SR in the dream team.

If he isn't it's a poor decision as I believe he has been the best SR all year.

I think his form has been good, but I dont think he has been the form second rower in the comp.
