Scott Logan cut short his contract with us due to homesickness.
We won't see him playing for Wigan again.
Earlier this year it was rumoured Richard Moore was signed or about to do so. If that was true then IL & BN had plans to have four experienced props with Moore in addition to Feka, Fielden & Coley.
Not surprising they identified a need for a fourth prop as we are lacking power up front to an alarming degree.
If Coley goes then we'll need two props.
Only bringing in one to replace Coley won't take us any further forward than we are now.
One prop will give us a season in 2010 like we're having now.

Scott Logan as retire i thought

I think this opinion owes more to hope than reality. I simply can't see Wigan signing two new props when they already have four. Even if they did, one of the current four - probably either Prescott or O'Carroll - would almost certainly leave, and then we'd be back in the same boat.

The best we can hope for, IMO, is one new prop - preferably a really good one.

why lynch? hes good yeah but is getting on now.be better signing paul wood.

Paul Wood?

going back to the richard moore rumour, i always thought he would have been a decent signing for us at the right price, but ive just been to the gym and he was there with a couple of the wakey players, the lad has lost an unbelievable amount of weight and bulk. hope he gets well soon. i went to the brennan rooney charity launch with work and he was there and was a huge unit, such a shame to see a drastic change in someone, chin up richard, you'll get there.

Absolutely resign Tommy IMO. All his talk of Dobson actually puzzles me. Is it in any due to rose tinted sentimentality because IMO Tommy is the better of the 2?

Tommy is the better defender and broken play runner imo but looking at it from a purely who's the better SH i'd say Dobbo is more of a conventional SH and more like the type of player we need in our team. We have a few creative players but very few organisers. Dobbo at SH would be a good foil for Sam who will hopefully grow more into an attacking 6 who takes on defenders etc.

He just seems to do the basic rights e.g puts you in good field position with his kicks, marshals the team round the park and occasionally comes up with some spectacular plays e.g Hatrick against us and MOTM against Saints recently. A little bit like Burrow I guess who killed us on Friday by making the right decisions at the right times.

We play at our best imo when Tommy is running from DH when Riddell goes off as like I said before his broken field running could be the best in the league.

As harsh as it seems on Mcilorum my ideal team would be

6-Tomkins
7-Dobbo

9-Riddell
14-Tommy

Compare that to the likes of Saints and Leeds and it’s not that far off imo.

The bottom line for me is that although Leuluai is OK and has the respect of the fans for his effort, I don't think he's the scrum half of a potential championship winning side.

I think we need a better partner for Tomkins long term. Leuluai/Tomkins for me won't be good enough to take us where we want to go.

Who says Tomkins is going to make it? He's made a very promising start but so have many others.

The actual question was tommy v dobbo. Looking at it harshly, ones a regular international and the other is an NRL reject.

Andy Lynch is the most under-rated prop forward in England imo. He's strong, tough and plays plenty of minutes. He can also play abit and has a great offload.

The only downside to him is that he has more then his fair share of injury problems but then nothing in comparison to Paul Wood.

Richie Myler anyone?

Paul King could possibly be available on loan till the end of the season? I realise we need a world class prop and he is no where near it but how do you think he’d do till the end of the season?

Wouldn’t want O’Carroll or Prescott to miss out on anything tho
