| Quote: Grimmy "Agree with your general point but I hope we don't bring Kibula in. He looked way off the pace for Swinton v Toronto. The prophecies people were making of him taking over from Lockers were well wide of the mark. Can't see him playing first team for us again.'"
I’m basically writing off the season though and saying we’ve nothing to lose in giving anybody a chance. We probably need another couple of wins to be safe from relegation and if it takes a few weeks to get them then the top five will definitely be gone.
I’d probably stick to the more established youngsters like Partington and Smithies in the shorter term but at a point we can’t go down or make the play offs then having a look at a number of youngsters would be wise IMO. I’d probably want to look at the ones they have doubts over the long term futures of, such as Kibula, more then ones you’re confident will make it at some point such as Havard. It gives you a great opportunity to make a judgment call in live first team action. It’s always tough to judge anybody on loan arrangements.

| This team, whilst awful, is nowhere near the depths of 2005/2006. That was the worst team I've seen since i started following Wigan 30 years ago... Dennis M.. M.. I cant even bring myself to say it. Scott Logan, Calderwood, Vaeliki, Tim Jonkers, Wilkes, the Davico fiasco... Though I did go to every game that season. What does that say?

20333_1393344959.gif 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 |

Scott Logan was half decent, Calderwood was alright and his 3 against Bradford give him protection from criticism IMO, Vaealiki redeemed himself when he burned Wellen’s off, Wilkes wasn’t Wigan standard, Jonkers was a steady eddy journeyman and Davico played 5 mins at Salford. Dennis Moran was a wrong fit for the team, when he was at London he was ripping the league up from fullback but a move to 6 and become an organiser with the loss of Farrell it just didn’t work. I hated him at the time but looking back it probably wasn’t all his fault.

We could do with Scott Logan now. Probably the last old school prop we had as in he carried the ball a decent amount and hurt people in defence

Davico was 2005 wasn't he?
Our props in 06 were Seu Seu, Logan, Hargreaves and Feka.

Played 7 in 06 (and 05 for that matter) because in 06 we actually had Danny Orr at SO as organiser and Moran was still crap. He even played FB and was crap.

That's revisionism of the highest order, until Noble/Dobson (the bigger one IMO)/Fielden came in anyone couldve beaten that lot, and frequently did.

| Quote: Pieman "Look at both teams......
So....
Rads - came out of retirement to play 6 games at centre (badly, he later admitted he was purely on the team for leadership, and could offer nothing playingwise)
Richards - played at centre (badly)
Goulding - barely got a game. Avoids you mentioning McAvoy I suppose
Except that wasn't an accurate representation of our 06 team.
FB Ashton v Hardaker - Hardaker
RW Calderwood v Davies - Davies
RC Richards/McCavoy v Sarginson - Sarginson (as a centre!)
LC Vaealiki v Gildart - Gildart
LW Dallas v Burgess - Draw (Dallas last season before retirement)
SO Orr v Williams - Williams
SH Moran v Leuluai - Leuluai
P Logan v Bullock - Logan
H Higham v Powell - Powell (Higham was gash for us)
P Paleaaesina v Flower - Draw (Feka better in attack, Flower in defence. Flower plays longer)
SR Hock v Greenwood - Hock
SR Fletcher v Farrell - Draw
LF 06 O'Loughlin v 19 O'Loughlin - 06 O'Loughlin
S Seuseu v Clubb - Clubb
S Godwin v Sammut - Draw
S Tickle v Navarette - Navarette (Tickle played prop that year and got smashed senseless)
S Hansen v Isa - Hansen
