with Gareth Hock back half way through

I couldnt see that side losing many games next year, if we avoid injuries.

I've always been a fan of just having one hooker (assuming he's fit enough) to play 80 mins. The extra bench spot that creates can be crucial.

I think a lot of people are underestimating McIlorum, though, and he's certainly an 80-min player.

The only problem with Mickey Mac (and I've been one who has always fought his corner, ask the Saints fans) is his injury record. If he can get himself fully fit he could easily be an eighty minute hooker, but I have this horrible feeling that he is never going to recover from that back problem

I would not be happy with Goulding in the centre, ever to be honest. It simply has not worked for him. He is going a good job on the wing and while not being an outstanding player is doing everything asked of him.

Charnley seems to be able to make the difference thus far, although lets be fair it is only very early in his career, but in truth I have yet to see Goulding perform at centre to the same standard Charnley already has at SL level.

I do not personally Goulding can be an integral part of the backline that a centre has to be in a team wanting to be top of the tree. I can however see him on the wing in a team with realistic aspirations of being the champions.

Charnley is showing real potential, and without getting carried away I believe from what I have seen of him at Sl level that there MAY be a future for him as a centre, and hence he should be used there as our first back up.

Was told today that Prescott is out for the rest of the season as he has damaged his eye again. Dont know how true, but was told its a detached retina again.

Goulding hasn't played centre under Madge, so there's no way of knowing that. To judge him on previous seasons, as with any other player, would be unfair.

Looks like O'Carroll's coming back to fitness at the right time then if that's the case.

Yes he has. Against Hull FC at home, he had a good game there and scored 2 tries.

I understand where you are coming from but all our players that have performed so far this year were clearly underachieving under Noble, they always had the game they were just not used or prepared correctly. I do not think Goulding has the vision or hands to play centre in a top team and I do not think he has the ability to add these regardless of coaching. I hope he proves me wrong but I feel his future is on the wing not at centre.

come on guys be serious, Michael Ennis will not be playing in a Wigan jersey in the foreseeable future.

He was actually close last time to signing for us but wanted more money than what Piggy wanted so IL went for the cheaper option. Ennis was 1st choice to bring in when he left the Broncos but asked for more money, I would love to see him here, it would stare up some interesting battles if he ever did. Definitely in my top 5 favourite NRL players, very niggly hooker but has a great creative game. I would have to say the chances are slim though sadly.

all this talk of Fielden moving on and no replacement

Can anyone else see Hansen moving to prop? every off season he has put on more bulk and I would like to see him given a go.

ps awesome try he scored against Leeds, how many other second rowers would have the pace to outrun Webb et al?

Ah yeah, forgot that one.

I cannot see Hansen at prop anytime soon and it seems obvious SW and MM are looking for a big pack for next year with Hoffman, Mossop and Hock more likely props.
