Bell hasnt evne played in the under 20's yet has he?
Some reason (rightly or wrongly) Rovers seem to be holding him back, maybe holding him back is the wrong word, easing him into professional rugby is better.

Jake Webster might be given another shot there.
Are hkr still friendly with Gareth Morton? He might have seen some ability in the nsw cup.

Lets not make excuses etc., he is a player who we would have loved at the club. We would have paid as much as we could, but in hindsight we may have saved some cash.
I'm sure we'll find a 6, but I for one can't wait to see Wigan in action next season now.

I agree with what you say, but goodness me, you must have snapped the handles off your hand bag you snatched it up so sharply. |

That's you told Bobness! Don't you be coming on the Rovers section and spouting your opinions, the Wigan longsentence police will be after you! |

You're not wrong. Didn't read all of the rant from the angry Wigan bloke - would have run out of breath.
I've had Hull fans get upset & now Wigan.
Why do they come on here if they can't bear reading a bit of criticism? I'm sure they can find loads of sugar coated stuff on their own boards if that is what they want.
I still believe Wigan will be less effective next year than this and I still believe Finch will stifle the development of Tomkins. I also think that Maguire surrounding himself with his mates from Melbourne creates the danger of cliques and favouritism.
But that's just my opinion, I wouldn't expect Wigan fans to agree.

Lets not heap pressure on him.
He will get a contract i beleive however and id be happy for him to make a few games in 2011'"
i agree with you GML, but my point was in answering GG I'd rather take a chance on a youngster after a big off season than plan on using scot murrell for the full season as our stand off next year as the kid is just not quick enough for that position if we want to progress.
I still believe we will bring someone in in that role and this might not be to everyones taste but wouldn't mind seeing us sign craig hall and give him the no6 shirt next year if there isn't a suitable experienced off half available. |

It 'solves' the 6 problem, but part of bringing in a proper stand-off half is to cover Dobson, with Galea or Murrell in turn covering them.
A hooker-cum-half like Orr or Obst or Leuleuai or Fien would be another way of doing it. Murrell can do 6, 9 and 13 - I'm not sure about 7. |

he played a few games for the 20's between the first phase of the 18's finishing and the second phase of the competition starting the week before last, rovers used the gap to try a few lads in the u20's |
