Does he start or used from the bench?

Stuart Fielden
Mike McIlorum
Jeff Lima
Ryan Hoffman
Joel Tomkins
Sean O'loughlin

I think we're really lacking at hooker.

That second row is the best in the league, and by some distance too imo.

You only have to look at the players not starting - Hansen + Farrell who'd walk in most of the other teams in the league.

Plus we have the best 13 in the league - Sean O'loughlin.

Some monster packs next season. I think we'll see a return of the biff for sure!

I think the difference between us and other teams (in the forwards) is our bench & squad depth. We have Lee Mossop, Harrison Hansen, Liam Farrell, Chris Tuson, Jeff Lima, Paul Prescott, Eamon O'carroll, Ben Davies & one of Thomas Leuluai/Mike McIlorum all competing for bench spots. I don't think the same can be said for some of the other sides.

I knew I was forgetting someone, Mossop!

Add that into our backs have been the best this year (by virtue of scoring the most points).

On paper Saints pack looks huge, but their backs look a lot weaker than previous years with the loss of Gidley + Wellens being another year older. Some quality kids coming through though, Lomax really impressed me last night.

Leeds look weaker with losing Senior and Donald.

Wire will be just as strong probably, still to be seen how Hodgson does there but I think them or Saints will be our main challengers.

EDIT: I take it back! Just seen Saints have been top points scorers! There goes all my theories! ha.

He's gonna get his rear end handed to him every week. every club is going to target him, jsut because he's willie mason. cant bloody wait!!

Definitely. Super League will not be a place for the faint-hearted next year

Just abit. I cant count on both hands how many times Piggy has come back on and rescued a mtch this year (IMO)

Maybe a quality hooker will be the final piece in the jigsaw!

Agree that other teams have high quality starting packs, but Wigan's bench and strength in depth is what will count, particularly when teams start picking up injuries.

I think we need a specialist hooker desperado plus another prop unless Mossop or Hansen bulks up a lot in the off season or O'Carroll and Prescott step up to the next level.

Bradford might not be to great this season, but there is no denying they have a big pack aswell going into next season.

Is Antonio Banderas availible?

Bradford still look poor to me for 2011 as it stands.

All four of their signings will only turn out to be average at best.

We have had comfortably the best pack this year in the comp for me, and we are adding Lima and Hoffman and people expect us to drop down the pecking order.

Cant see it myself.

IF we resign Coley & Fielden.

A year younger than Fielden.
