I tell you what the sides some of you have picked on here, Mick Potter must be a miracle worker having us 4 points clear and top of the league with such an average side to work with.

Same here, I wish we had Amos Roberts and Joel Tomkins, like some people have picked on here.

Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid. Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal. Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_20333.gif

Shane Webke played SoO and for Aus, does that mean he can play centre? icon_rolleyes.gif

Greg Bird would never play centre in the memory of man!

He is pushing it at 6, he is a loose or a ball playing second row like Solomona.

To be fair, he did say We (Wigan fans that is as it's a Wigan Board) HAD to pick 5 current Wigan players.

Yeah mate, I know that. Just with some people picking 2,3 players from Saints when were 4 clear at the top doesn't really make a lot of sense to me.

Sorry, missread, thought you meant Bird had played for Aus and SoO so that meant he could play centre.

Greg Bird isn't a 6 by the way. He is too slow and fat! icon_lol.gif

But if the 5 players They HAD to pick from Wigan were in similar positions to where you also have strong players i.e picking Gleeson over Gidley, it doesn't mean we think Gleeson is better than Gidley, Just that Gleeson could be considered one of OUR best 5 players.

I think it's a pointless excercise and would have been better if for example he said you had to keep 10/11 players from the existing team and improve it with 6 from others, although as you will see I don't think it needs to be that Drastic!
Surely a more realistic turnover in numbers of players???? I'm basing mine on keeping 10 Wigan players!

Webb (Like Greenshield too I just think Webb has the edge)
Ainscough
Gleeson
Carmont
Richards
Pryce/Bosc (Dependant on what the Judge thinks!)
S Tomkins
Graham
Riddell
Peacock
O'Loughlin
Pulateau
J Tomkins

Feka
Roby
Hock
Prescott

The ones in Bold again aren't necessarily the Best players in the country in those positions but given experience/time I think they could grow into Very Useful SL players & maybe even international in Tomkins/Ainscough's case!

TBH If you look it's mainly Front row where the problem lies!
If we had those 2 x front rowers (Or 2 of equal staure/ability) then it wouldn't matter too much to put Roberts on the wing, Richards Full Back, Lulu on Bench instead of Roby and Hansen instead of Pualteau (Although I think Pulateua is obviously far better/intimadating etc) meaning we had 14 Current Wigan players in the team.

Richards
Roberts
Gleeson
Carmont
Ainscough
Pryce/Bosc (Dependant on what the Judge thinks!)
S Tomkins
Graham
Riddell
Peacock
O'Loughlin
Hock
J Tomkins

Feka
Lulu
Hansen
Prescott

Main Point is, were 2 x 50/60 min Front rowers and a 6 Short of being a Very Good team!
Something I'm sure you'll agree with and something I told Mr Leneghan Last November!
