What. Your family member? He's named in the 19 for Friday and has trained today with Warrington. In my opinion, should he be due to leave then Tony Smith wouldn't have him near the first team squad. If you want proof of this remember what happened to Gleeson? He was shipped out and told not to come back unless he didn't found a club in 2 weeks.

I'd worry about Lauaki's mobility if he did but I'd be more happy with Flower in the back row then front row so I'd expect that to be the case.

Looking forward to seeing Hughes and Faz on Friday. Both are exceptional young players and it's a good chance to take their games on a level.

Your 'family member' has failed badly. Wood is going nowhere according to Smith.

Where is Iafeta Paleaaesina, I just checked the Salford website and he doesn't seem to be part of their squad. I'd take him back as another option at prop!

I agree.

And loving it there apparently

Not sure about this - we only have 1 poster on here saying there was a fall out and even if there was we do not know what it was over could have been something wrong on either side, if at all. Some on here are far too quick to seize on rumours to attack Wane (not aimed at you by the way) - regardless of truth.

I heard that Fielden left purely because he wanted a 2 year deal on good money and Wigan did not want to sign up to such a deal for a forward who had played a handful of games in 2 years - which seems more likely. Time will tell if letting him go was right or not - depends on how many games he can play, if he suffers another long term injury then it may well prove to be the right option.

A Pongia type forward would be ideal but I do not see anyone in SL remotely close to that type and available sadly, and whilst were are looking for gold perhaps a Sam Panapa would be a great addition as well!

kylie leuluai would be a great pongia style one season signing. always plays well against us.

Probably look better with Ben Cross and Stu Fielden in the pack.

Ain't that the truth.

Ben Cross would be perfect round about now.


Paul Wood offers very little in relation to the qualities we require.

Ben Cross looked shot for Leeds, did ok for us after coming in with no expectation at all on him and has been ok at Widnes. He's an average player IMO and I wouldn't have him in the team ahead of Mossop, Prescott, Taylor or Dudson regardless of his added experience. I certainly wouldn't have him above Paul Wood who would bring experience to this side but also a real passion to play for his home town team.

I'm not sure I watched the same player at Wigan as some other fans. He was solid but he's certainly been no miss for us and he'd add very little at this time.

At last - someone sane!

Lopini Paea or Con Mika would be good additions, bot of beef in the pack as we don't need any more grafters we need impact.
