I think your right about this. He runs good lines, has pace and has good ball handling skills for a big fella.

Before last season I would have said shift him to 13 and Lockers into the 2nd row. However as we all know Lockers was outstanding last year, so there will be no opportunities (bar injury) for him there.

I would like to see him have a run in the centres. For me he has all the attributes required, not to mention his size. This would also allow Mossop to have a good run in the team and IMO is a better option than sticking Bailey in there.

I think a lot of people were gutted when Joel was left out of the CC semi final. Could he of been the difference? We got battered with size.

I don't think even with Joel playing we would of won that semi-final. Wire just had far more desire, enthusiasm and ultimately skill for us that day.

So IMO having Joel, although would of been a boost, wouldn't of made the difference between winning and losing.

You do mean the starting 13 ?

I hope that's right!

I think he means Mossop after me saying how good he was at Saints a week before the semi only for him to not make the semi final 17.

I see that Leigh have signed Gareth Melling from us.

A loss or not?

I actually meant Mossop what am I on about

No not a loss at all . younger less experienced player were getting the nod before him . they all can not make it at wigan

Any relation to Chris Melling?

I don't think so.
Gareth had fallen behind Josh Charnley in the pecking order. I hope he does well at Leigh, but in all honesty I don't ever see him being a Superleague standard player.

Fair assesment as many players actually already in super league are not super league standard. I would love to see any player leaving Wigan make it at a smaller club. I have a feeling more and more players coming through our set up will be up to standard though.
