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.

Ah yes, Gleeson has one of those too...

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

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.

You comparing the two medals

Depends whether Deacon stays on for another year, he was supposed to be moving into coaching this year but with the form he showed last season I hope he decides to give it another year, 32 at the start of the season isn't that bad.

Based on time at their current clubs. Sorry if that was a bit difficult to grasp. If we're comparing medals, then Ade Gardner is better than Pat Richards. See how easy it is.
