Really hope your right but in truth theres only a handful of people, if that who'll know for sure.
When he's paraded in a Wigan shirt I'll believe it but until then, with due respect, it's all just rumours.

| Taylor certainly fits the Wane bill, and ticks all the boxes tall young mean defence strong carry. Has a frame we can build on and is still only 21.
The thought of Mossop and Taylor being our Props for years to come is a frightening prospect.
I would be very disappointed if we were not making a strong bid for him.
As I said earlier though if we do bring him in we must still bring in an experienced NRL Prop.

I disagree with the last point and can't see it happening either. This week we had 5 props playing, Fielden unpicked and Prescott injured, not to mention Crosby and Spencer. IMO we'll lose Lima and Fielden, replace one of these externally (hopefully Taylor) and the other one will be covered by our youngsters getting more game time.
Mossop
Prescott
Taylor
Dudson
Lauaki
Flower
Crosby
Spencer
Is enough IMO.

| With Lima and Fielden off him and another prop could well be a possibility. I can't see any way back for Fielden after him being left out on Friday.
To sign one experienced head to go alongside Mossop, Dudson and hopefully Taylor would just be immense. We shouldn't rule out Prescott as well. He's had a really tough year but when fit and on form he's excellent and a real handful. I thought Dudson was excellent on Friday as well and his potential is huge.
After those we'd still have Lauaki who's been solid for us, Flower who I'd use more in the back row(excellent on Friday as well) and Crosby who I really like but he needs to bulk up.
Brilliant options.

I disagree
That is a relatively young crop of players and we still need a battle hardened experienced old head.

There is no leader in that crop, an experienced Prop aged 28 plus who would provide natural leadership would be the icing on the cake and badly needed given the experience and leadership we are losing across the park.
Many of the players listed above can also be very effective in the second row.
A player in the mould of Pongia would be ideal. Asotasi would be the perfect signing even though he is arguably past his best form.

We need an older experienced prop amongst them with quality too. Dudson, Crosby and Spencer all really young yet as is Taylor

Who then?
Crosby or Spencer are the only other 2 I could think off as possibilities.

I don't know if the player swap stories are true but have been reliably informed that Tuson is 100% not leaving having recently signed a 1 year extension on his contract

| If I were Tuson I'd leave tbh. He's a good player if a little small but he's gutsy and would go well as a starting player for someone. His game suits being an 80 minute player which he proved away at Saints when he was excellent.
His problem is he's behind so many players at Wigan and there's a couple with the potential to also push past him so he's going to struggle to get games.
If it's not him I'm more then happy to keep him in the squad though.
