| Brett Finch could be very special next season. He obviously had a slow start but that was down to him coming back from the first major injury of his career and he just got better and better as the weeks went by. He's going to a huge year.
Another player I expect to kick on is Liam Farrell. He had a great first year and like a lot of young players an indifferent 2nd season but is form really picked up at the end and he'll carry that in to this season IMO.
A super player.

| Finch has the potential to be the next Barrett.
Mossop could force opposition to start considering him as a serious threat in 2012.
Farrell thought 2011 could of been his storming season but didnt get as much game time as expected (did have a solid season but really think he has the potential to be the best 2nd Row in the country)
Goulding just have a hunch...

| Dudson for me, I think he is going to be something special. Hoping Mellor gets a crack too, i love his style of play - he could be the missing link for us.

I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I am all out of bubblegum.
Don't you struggle. Don't you fight. Don't you worry, cause it's your turn tonight!

| Farrel for me. He perhaps suffered from second season syndrome a little this year.
Looking forward to seeing what Dudson's capable of also.

| All the players already mentioned have the potential to make a big impact in 2012. However, for me I would like to see Joe Mellor have a run in the first team as I think he could really make a big impact and maybe take some pressure and limelight off Sam.

3076_1671446335.jpg SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

| If he gets some game time Carberry could be a bolter. I'd also like too see Matty Russell get a few games this coming season.

27588.gif "Games as big as a grand finals define individuals and clubs. Remember we are only renting these shirts, I had my time in Pat Richards shirt. Ellery and Faz had there time in Sean's, Hampo and Radders in Sam's. You have to make a mark in these shirts that's still there the day you hand it over to someone else. So be aware for 80 minutes you are not only playing but also writing history and creating a legacy. How many people get to actually write history, not many. A big stage demands big players, be inspired. You play for Wigan, now go do it. Good luck." - Martin Offiah, 2010.:27588.gif |

I agree, hes been in awesome form and I think reserves is too low a standard for him now. He either needs to be sent on loan to a super league side or feature in the first team at some point. Would like to see Dom Crosby and Tom Spencer feature also.

| This is what excites me about Wane taking charge. He has brought through a lot of younger players when academy coach and I can see many younger fringe players getting the chance next year. I think when Dudson gets in shape then he will be a big asset in the pack.

| For me I want to see Goulding play more.
When he first played for us I said to my mate that I go to games with that I think theres something there and I have always been one for spotting that. Im not good for spotting when they're gonna go rubbish but I am good with spotting potential and I spotted his. I said Tommy would be a monster after an adequate but not amazing first season and I told him Phelps was out of position and he made that full back shirt his own for a short period before going rubbish... Like I said I can see the potential but I cant see when they're gonna go rubbish again...
The other one is Charnley I think he could become one of the top players in SL next season. I think him and Goulding will properly gel this year with a full pre-season together and do big things this coming season.
I think of the two it would be Goulding as I think he really needs to shine this year and show the potential I feel he has.

| I doubt we'll even see Gil Dudson for more than a handful of games next year, let alone see him make a big impact.
I think Liam Farrell and Brett Finch may have big years.

| Agree with Rads, one to watch Gareth Hock which really is no surprise given his ability.
Surprise package, Lauaki.

As bad as he can be at times he does have some serious potential so I also agree that he could surprise us all.
