He has definitely improved since he left us. Every time I have seen him this year he has had a good game. I too thought he was one of Hudds' better players on Saturday but that isn't exactly hard as the majority of Hudds' players were poor. I wouldn't grumble if he did come back but I wouldn't be going out of my way to sign him either.

What about Briscoe?

Would you want us to sign him?

Yes. I think he's as good as if not better than Phelps, would command a similar salary and it would free up a quota spot.

(This isn't to say I dislike Phelps before anyone has a go).

I was hoping you would say that as I share that view. Having a fairly young Wiganer playing in a important position to a great standard sounds pretty good.

Just out of interest who was playing scrum half when Brown was playing for you lot? Was it Orr? What happened there, he came with a big rep and failed (or so it seems), I hated Wigan for years (family ties to Saints) but you lot have grown on me more and more think you play some good stuff and have some top young players coming through (nothing new there though!)

I wish Puletua was playing as a second rower, he is far too work shy to be a prop.

Wild is good but he isn't anything that Wigan don't already have. Gilmour was one that got away, underrated for most of his career.

think wild was a good player at wigan and is a great player now -he has improved but not unexpectedly. we were playing him out of position in the centres. he is dream team material and imo a cert for england honours all being fair.

d hodgson is much improved and that one i dont think any of us saw coming.

Hodgy was top of our try scoring charts one season he is a good fast winger still

I think part of the problem for Wigan, certainly in the past at least, is that you traditionally produce so many talented players in your area that you have let a few of the real gems slip through the net. Was Kevin Brown always with you lot, or did he start at Saints?

He started with us.

PS

If you are laying Baite then I'm afraid youv'e come to the wrong place were Brown/Robinson/Hodgson & to certain extent Wild are concerned.

Pretty much for various reasons it was the right thing to let all of them go for both parties probably.

Are any of them better than what we have now?

Up until 2 months again Not IMO But Wildy "May" have got in the squad?
Would I have him back now??????

Maybe seeing as we have lost Hock and possibly Bailey for next year but I am sure with the players already there we could cover it.

I'm not laying bait...Justa bit of banter, just wanted to see what the consensus was on Wild. I'm not his agent either seeing how the ground lies!

Gardner was the top scoring winger last year, does that make him a really good player?

My Nan would have been top try scorer, she could fall over the line to score try's as well as Gardner can from 1 yard out
