Get Finchy to stay, first and foremost. To paraphrase Stevo, he's been controlling things out there for us all season and really is key to making us tick in attack. Signing him for at least another year really is vital. Once that's sorted, which it hopefully will be soon, then we can look at who his half-back partner will be. Personally I would love to get Scott Dureau

Speaking of poaching from Catalans, Daryl Millard to replace Carmont anyone? That is assuming Bilko's One More year campaign fails

Mellor isnt good enough, he hasnt looked good enough in any spell at Widnes, and certainly hasnt looked good enough for Wigan.

Harsh, but he needs to be moved on, not every youngster we produce is going to be good enough for us, Mellor is an example of that.

Completely unfair IMO. I can count on my fingers the number of games for us and Widnes in the first team

Tim Smith?

We havn't seen enough of him in the first team at Wigan.

Mellor looks like a Richie Myler clone from the little I've seen of him. Good support player but little in the way of creativity. Like I say though I haven't seen too much of him so I await being proven wrong by the lad

The injury that forced him to miss virtually all the 2010 season was a massive setback for him, and has probably left him a couple of years behind in his development, but I still see him as our future #7. He was the outstanding half back in the 2009 Reserves competition, completely outplaying the likes of Lomax, Wheeler & Gaskell, and I don't think it will take him much longer to rediscover that ability.

Dureau and welham would be my picks..I dont know what welhams contract situation is at HKR, but hes turning into a very good SL centre IMO.

I wouldn't want Welham anywhere near the Wigan team from what I've seen of him, IMO he must be one of the most overrated players in the comp plus I think HKR have him tied down for a few more years.

Welham is the best english centre in SL would be a good replacement for George although he signed a new contract recentlly.

How about Brett Hodgson for a year?

I still think he's out of contract and it's gone quiet on renewals for a few players over at Wire.

With Richards and Hodgson, we would be sorted for kicking goals. Hodgson's field kicking would also improve us as a team.

Tomkins could move back to the halves and Mellor and Powell could also get more game time as, admittedly, Hodgson will miss some games due to age and recent injuries.

At the end of next season, Mellor and Powell will have had enough time to show if they're the long-term future.

I also reckon Hodgson could fill in easily as a stand-off... he seems to make a fair number of Wire's tries.

I also think he'd be a good influence on improving our younger backs.

just no
