In your opinion.
The bit I've underlined has yet to be borne out, judging from what I've seen of Bridge on TV.
Don't think of Gleeson as the unhappy, unmotivated player he was at Warrington. At Wigan, he's been a lean, mean machine, and it's a bit of a joke that he wasn't taken Down Under. |

Very happy with the news. Hopefully, it'll be managed well to enable a youngster to gain some experience and step up to replace him in 2012.

| Quote: cadoo "Agreed.
For me the most likely candidate is Daz Goulding. He had an excellent game against Hull FC (home) at centre & didn't look out of place at all. I would like to see him get a few more games at centre this year.
Josh Charnley and Stefan Marsh need much more game time. We need that strength in depth for certain, but a loan to a SL club with a 24-hour recall would be perfect. From what I've been told though, Marsh is seen more of a fullback and Charnley is seen as more of a winger.
Push comes to shove, age is just a number, we could just re-sign Carmont for another year after 2011.'"
With the greatest respect to what Goulding has achieved this year, I am still of the opinion that he is not a top class SL quality centre and nor will he ever be.
For me he simply lacks the skill set.
He has proven himself an excellent finisher, and I feel he will be best served long term remaining on the wing.
There are a few candidates within the club, but personally I do not see Goulding as the long term solution. I also feel that we may very well have to bring in 1 centre probably from the NRL in the next 2/3 seasons or so depending on when Gleeson decides to call it a day.. |

| Quote: Father Ted "We start next season without Pat, Roberts could go full back with Sam at 6.
This may well give us Goulding on the right wing and either Charnley or Marsh left wing.
Goulding has to be favourite as Carmont's replacement. He's a centre anyway and has had a very good season playing almost all year. I'm sure he will fill the left centre spot without any difficulty following his good run in the first team.
Interesting that there's no mention of a further year's option after 2011 for George.
I'm sure MM will manage that situation very well.'"
I agree and I hope that Goulding gets a lot more games at centre this season. He has done a good job on the wing but I have always seen him primarily as a centre. I certainly see Marsh as more of a full back/wing than centre and I think that Charnley is also more of a winger than centre. |

Wigan are by far the best team in the league and will be even stronger next year with your new additions. I just feel Warrington are stronger in that area. Wigan have great leaders and outstanding talent all across the board. In my eyes Sam Tomkins is the best player in the league and you have a core of outstanding young talent with more coming through the system.'"

That's your opinion. Bridge and King are both much better than their opposites statistically as well. It is great news for Wigan that Carmont has resigned and I don't want the thread to derail. |

Chris Bridge tries and assists combined = 20 in 18 games
George Carmont tries and assists combined = 18 in 24 games
Thanks for proving my point though,
Carmont misses more tackles, gives away more penalties and makes more errors as well. |

Bridge doesn't have the time. Got a challenge cup winners medal to polish. What did Gleeson's Gran win? Bingo? |

Yet, conveniently, he makes more tackles and more metres.
And, as you were so keen on using games playerd earlier, you'll have noted that Carmont missed 16 tackles in 24 games, yet Bridge missed 15 in 18 games. (Same goes for errors too).
At least be objective.

Not much between them I agree. It's not a case of me being biased. Wigan have a better set of Wingers, backrowers and the best player in the league. We can go back and to allday. Let's agree to disagree. |

Don't think there is a chance to be honest. With the additions of Finch, Lima and Hoffman the strongest get stronger. Out of interest, who will be your halfbacks next year?
