| 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. |

| Quote: Magic man "Bridge is better than Gleeson and King better than Carmont, it's that simple. 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. |

Fair enough.
Good luck for the season (but not too much mind  ) |

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?

I'd presume Finch + Deacon.
Hopefully Sam will stay at FB. |

Whilst the stats look good on paper - George does a lot of work that isn't recorded in them. He organizes the defensive line and as one of the leadership group comes across as a very calm and thoughtful player. He's also a great team player and regularly plays hurt. In the Leeds semi final he dominated the Rhinos backs with a fantastic defensive display.
At the end of last season when Pat was crowned club player of the year, he said that George was the best centre he had ever played with. Don't get me wrong; Bridge is very good player and definitely one of the best centres in Super League. However given the choice I would still prefer George in the Wigan side. However, as you said - let's agree to disagree

| Quote: MADDOG1983 "Newcastle were not exactly cracking any pots though were they. Im not having a go at carmont i like him hes value for money at wigan and was at newcastle. I just want to see some outside backs come though for england and there being held back charnley showed at hull kr he has loads of potential and to me looked as good as anyone in centres in superleague already. Rugby League as a game going to go from bad to worse if we cant improve it international wise. It is no good saying next year all time we have got to do something now.'"
I want to see some English outside backs come through as well but I still support the re-signing of Carmont. I just don't think the others are ready yet to do the job full time.
I also think centre is one of the hardest positions to play properly. You see many wingers drafted in there or 2nd rowers having a go but true centres like Gleeson and Carmont are rare and I'd like Madge and Co to make sure whoever takes over has had the right level of training for this position for another year rather than just chucking them in the deep end by replacing Carmont.
