I’m thinking this is a likely scenario too.
I wouldn’t discount Field at 1 just yet. He’s had a stinker of a first season for different reasons, but there is without doubt ability there and in my opinion. |

Regardless of where you think Zac's best position is he's played centre for us and England/GB unless there's an injury at fullback.
We've signed a winger, Miski, and Hanley, Halsall and Bibby have all done well there when needed. Bibby being our top try scorer.
Filed has played almost all his RL in the halves and looked completely lost in the game he played at fullback for us.

I’ve made the point a few times-if you’re replacing players who were not playing with ones who will, you’re stronger if only by default. In my mind we’ve lost Hastings and not a great deal more. We’ve signed 4 players and should have French and Field back from injury, making it 6 players to add to what’s left from last season.
Is the squad perfect? No, I don’t think it is. I’d like a halfback and another prop personally (and a centre if Hardaker goes) but I can’t for the life of me see that we’re weaker in general (a halfback aside). |

I honestly cannot see Zak going this year. I think it’s all white noise personally and he’ll be off next year instead.
I’d be intrigued to see Field in the halves. We may all be wanting a new half but we’ve got one in the squad now. One thing I am certain of is that he isn’t a FB.

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.

Fullback - French with Zac/Hanley as cover
Wingers - Marshall & Miski with Bibby & Hallsall as cover
Centres - Zac & Bibby/Thornley & Hallsall as cover
6 & 7 - Smith, Tommy, Field (Field has played most of his rugby in the halves)
Props - Mago, Evans, Singleton, Havard, Byrne, Partington
Hooker - Powell & O'Neill
Back row - Loads of them
I think that if the right halfback becomes available we may see Tommy retire, again.'"
Bibby replaced Sarge |

It absolutely would be but that’s the same at any club. I give Saints praise for their lack of injuries these past few seasons. It can’t just be a coincidence that they hardly get a cold between them but take 7 or 8 players out of their first 17 on a regular basis and they wouldn’t be in a great spot either, so it isn’t exclusive to Wigan.
Fingers crossed we start 2022 in a better spot injury wise and this time we get a bit more luck. |

Genuinely confused here. 
Which Simon are you referring to?
Collinson?
Le Bon?
Simple? |

As long as they keep kneeling I'll stay away and won't give the club a penny. |

Just don’t get down on one knee or put 10p in an anti racism collection box. You might send him over the edge |

Imagine being so anti anti racist that you’d boycott the club over it and still come on here acting like you’re a ‘fan’. Some face that. |
