With Sam going, and Escare maybe being on the bench again, who will be Wigans goalkicker next year ?

Hardaker

Williams?

i know Hardaker takes kick offs, does he take kicks at goal too ?

Hankinson, the second best at the club..

According to the numbers, Williams is a slightly better kicker than Hardaker over the course of his career (59% v 64%). I'd feel more confident putting the responsibility on his shoulders rather than Hardaker's as well for obvious reasons.

Hankinson

why whos left?

You spelt Gildart wrong

Johnson ?????????????

Whats all this fuss about Hankinson? Hes only played a game or two and already hes being touted as the next Gene Miles. What makes people think he will be so good?

In that one game he showed he is a proper unlike Dan "I don't like to pass" Sarginson and he kicks, somebody at the club thought he must be good enough to take

Sarginson had a good end to the season when he was moved in to that left centre spot and Hankinson showed up well in his game and a half, so we’re not in a bad spot with Gildart being our number one pick.

I know it’s not popular in all parts to talk about giving wingers a go in the centres but I’d like to see Manfredi have a run there in pre season. He’s not the most skilled when it comes to passing but he’s be a nightmare to defend against and his own defence is exceptional. Nothing ventured nothing gained IMO.

For me it has got to be a new signing unless Hankinson is going to play.
We have no current first team squad player who can goals and just as importantly no one with a good long kicking game either for positional play or kicking from hand on penalties.
I sincerely hope it is a half back signing even if only for a season or two until hopefully one of the younger guys coming through the ranks can stake a place on merit.
I'm hoping that this is at the top of KR's to do list.

Hardaker I think kicked for Featherstone and Leeds.
