Quote lothlorian="lothlorian"could prove to be our biggest signing next year. A points machine and mr consistent. A new coach plus in a worst case scenario losing, Finch, Deacon, Hoffman, Carmont, =#FF0000tommy, and then Pat could prove to be too much. Yes we have good youngsters but that is a load of experience leaving and we have shown with inconsistent performances this year that we can't rely on the youth of wigan to keep us winning trophies. The balance needs to be there to bring these youngsters through at the right pace without throwing them all in at once and expecting them to deliver titles. Pat would be a big boost with hopefully of couple of older heads coming in to keep developing the reservoir of talent with have pushing for the first team'"
Not heard anything about Tommy going? Where's this come from?
Hopefully Carmont will do another year - best year in a Wigan shirt by far IMO, and I cant think of a better centre in the SL at the moment - he also looks faster than he ever has so surely he could go round again?
Other than that, can cope with losing the rest IMO - Deacon is rarely fit anyway, Finch has never really hit the straps so you cant miss what you havent had, and we have bags of talent at SR to step into Hoffman's shoes.
For me we need to keep Paat, Carmont, and Tommy (if theres any truth in him being off) above all else.
