It's hard to believe that even a lad from the U-19s wouldn't offer more than Patrick.

I can't remember ever being so disappointed by a signing as I am with Patrick. I thought he would have been a decent replacement for Taylor but he has been woeful. All he really does is acts as a dummy runner. Even the try that he scored against Hudds only came about because he had just gone through as a dummy runner and happened to be there. He offers nothing and shouldn't be in the 17, regardless of how poor Mossop, Crosby and Tautai have been, they're all above Patrick in the pecking order IMO.

Somebody on another site has stated we are in heavy negotiations for LMS and Eastmond, i personally hope this is true as they are fantastic RL footballers and would bring much needed fire to the team

Eastmond would be great, but I wouldn't be bothered about LMS.

They never come back from Union the same player.

LMS would be a good signing, but I can't see him leaving Saints.

"Good signing" You aren't being serious, are you?

LMS would probably be the best forward in the Wigan team if he signed.

He would be the fifth best second rower. But possibly the best prop

I agree completely with you. Eastmond can play 1-7, has pace and just as importantly is a great place kicker. The answer to our problems in the backs I'd say.

I've seen a fair bit of him at Bath. He can certainly pick a pass, too, like a 'proper' half-back. It stands out in union cos so few seem to have that skill! And his running game is excellent.

I was there that night in Huddersfield when the teenage Eastmond and Sam Tomkins beat Benji Marshall and the Kiwis. Love to see then re-united.

LMS won't happen, you never see top players go from one top SL club to another. Eastmond at centre of Sarginson goes would be good though

That makes me want to cry because there probablyan ounce of truth in it

LMS to Wigan won't happen but to be fair to him, when LMS is motivated and aggressive he can be one hell of a player. He was brilliant (if I remember correctly) on Good Friday. The problem with him is at times he can go into hiding a bit but I have been impressed with him recently.

LMS is a quality back rower when he fancies it, he waltzes through games though at times which stops him from potential international recognition. But IMO he's a pretty poor front rower.
