Stolen shamelessly from the Warrington board but thought it was an interesting topic while its the off season.

Who are your top three players you are looking forward to watching next year?

Obvious ones are 3 new boys Hoffman, Lima and Finch, but ones that stand out for me are:

McIlorum - he really stood up in the grand final and impressed me massively. I was quite worried about the 9 position for next year but if he can stay injury free I think we will be fine.

Lee Mossop was looking immense before his injury & I can only see competition from Tuson, Hoffman, Farrell, Tomkins and Hansen making him a better player.

Last one: the return of Gaz Hock. Enough said...

Definitely the return of Roberts

BIG Jeff Lima!!

1-Ryan Hoffman- He is a world class second row forward that will hopefully hit the ground running. He should be driven on by the competition in that back row.

2-Mike McIlorum- I thought he was outstanding in the Grand Final and hopefully he can continue that form into 2011. He could well become a starting hooker for us and I back him to come on leaps and bounds.

3-Josh Charnley- The lad looked the business whilst on loan at HKR and I can see him getting plenty of gametime at Wigan next season. He looks a fantastic athlete and hopefully he can go onto become a top line outside back(that will benefit both us and especially England).

1) All 3 of the new boys, for obvious reasons - theyve come with the good reputations but will they fancy Salford on a cold February night?

2) Sam Tomkins - sit back and watch him tear apart each and every SL team.

3) Gareth Hocks return.

Hoffman and it's not even close cant wait

Not seen much of lima so in two minds untill i see him in action

Hock. Simple as that.

Don't expect much from Aussies in 1st season.

Can't wait to see the 3 new boys. Hoffman is coming into his prime and could be devastating in super league, same for Lima. Not sure about Finch, I hope people don't expect him to do as much as Barrett, I just want him to fit into the team.

Aside from those 3....

McIlorum - Piggy has left and this guy now has a key role and a massive oppertunity to take the number 9 shirt for years to come. He was class in the play-offs and I think he can do it.

Roberts - If this guy returns and half the form he showed at the start of last year then I can't see anything but Wigan claiming an early top place spot like last season and sticking with it.

S Tomkins - His 2nd full season as a first team player, he is already one of the best full-backs and stand-offs in super league. He is a Wigan lad and could be the heart of this side for the next 10-12 years, he is probably the best back this country has produced in the last 10 years. I just cannot wait to see him develop another year.

Away from Wigan I'm looking forward to seeing the following.

Mason
Westerman
Rhys Evans
LMS

At Wigan it's got to be the three new signings plus the continued development of people such as Mossop, McIlorum and Farrel. Then again I'm just looking forward to the season in general at Wigan next year.

Amos Roberts for me as well.

A good off season and it will be very interesting to see if he can reproduce the form of last year pre injury.

Gareth Hock.

Gareth Hock

Obviously our new Aussie boys but would love Amos to get his confidence and form back

and of course Stuart

Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

Here's hoping he makes a full recovery from injury and can get back to the form he showed last season, when he set a new standard for wing play in the SL era.

Jeff Lima - don’t know why cos I don’t watch any NRL, but somehow I reckon he will become a firm fans favourite.

Amos Roberts – for all the reasons already mentioned. If he gets and stays fit just watch him go.

Lee Mossop – I do believe he could be the best of all of our (excellent quality) second rowers, if he stays fit and realises his potential.

Also : The return of Hock, Finch & Hoff, Farrells continued improvement.

Non Wigan : Will be interesting to see how Westerman goes at Hull, Ainscough & Diskin at Bradford, Mason at Hull KR, and Mathers at Cas! (Tee Hee)
