I'm pretty sure I read that Coley was set on retiring last year and had to be talked into playing in 2011 so if that's true he's unlikely to be here next year. I suppose we'll have to see what kind of form Hock show's once he's available again. By all accounts he's put on some serious bulk so it's not too difficult to see him moving up to the front row, much like Morley and Peacock have done before him. If it pans out that way then a first choice four of Fielden, Lima, Mossop and Hock looks pretty good moving forward. According to Bilko's stats Lima and Mossop have been our two best forwards when it comes to metres gained per carry in case anyone didn't know

I personally think we need about four players for next season and 5 if hoffman leaves i think alot of people are forgetting carmont might be going my out list

carmont (next year might be a year to far)
hoffman (hope he stays but you neva know)
ocarroll (injured get him on the coiaching staff coaching the under 16s)
coley (looks his age to be honest)
deacon (to injury prone and had his day think he will go into coaching)
gleeson (Well makes no sense atall will he be here wont he personally in bored we the speculation now)

replacements

coley = sika manu or adam blair
deacon = widdop put him at fullback and move sam to 6 tommy and micky mac share hooking role
carmont = micheal jennings
gleeson = josh charnley
ocarroll = promote within like to see davies get a shot but would have signed scruton
hoffman hope he stays but id look at putting hock back there

O' Carroll on the coaching staff? He's only 24!

Yeah get him off the cap and give him a job can't just turn your back on a player let him coach some of the kids at Wigan

We don't need another prop. Fielden, Lima, Prescott, Mossop, Hock, Crosby, Davies is fine. And possibly O'Carroll if this operation works out.

According to today's Observer, O'Carroll has had a "successful" operation and Madge believes he will play this season.

An NRL centre and possibly a young halfback would be my picks for signings alongside keeping on guys like Richards and Coley. I'd let Deacon move into fulltime coaching and Carmont is retiring according to Ian Lenagan.

Jamie Lyon and Steffan Ratchford would be 2 guys i'd target.

Not sure I'd want Lyon in case he wasn't as good as he was at Widnes B.

Worth the gamble to annoy them

lets hope so Id hate his career to end so early with injury.

Interesting. Wonder what his next challenge will be. www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague ... ml&BID=480

He's a man who can chose where he goes.
If Maguire has already let it be known he's going end of this year then an invitation to Wayne Bennett would be a good idea.
I'd prefer Maguire to stay, if he isn't then there won't be any better available for 2012.

No chance of Bennett coming to UK - personal reasons would prevent him from doing so IIRC.

Yes we know about the problems he has but an invitation wouldn't go amis!
You never know!
