There is a massive prop from Leeds in Wigan’s reserves who was outstanding on the weekend. His name is Ben Kilner.
He is a bit down the pecking order at Wigan due to injury but he is back fully fit now. I rate him highly.

Me too, leave him where he is.

It looks like Josh Dugan might be leaving the sharks? Should he be the type of player we're after?

He'll command Marquee money which should be spent on the Pack.
However if we can get a desteuctive prop under the normal SC then id go for JD aswell he covers the whole backline & is better than whatwe have already in those spots.

Big Tongan off the bench : Wed Feb 05, 2020 10:23 am  

I've been in deep thought as to possible ways of introducing some dynamism to this team. Short of new signings, which don't seem imminent I wonder if we already have a possible solution.
How about using Hurrell as an impact second row ala Ben Murdoch Masilla.
Would mean we are not just wasting his energy with carting it up, less likely
To constantly carry injuries, gives us real bench impact and fear factor.
I would think about assessing Mellor as a centre to accommodate this as think he's capable of it. Konrads mobility and lateral defence suffers as he's so tired by the way we use him.
Surely we have to think bit outside the box?

He's played BR before then maybe try & get a prop & Duggan in for the Centre spot.

That would be amazing, but is it dreamland? Lol....

Hurrell coming off the bench to play in pack for us could work, but I doubt Agar will see it and wonder if Hurrell would take to the idea of being a bench player when he's a starter, but he could be destructive off bench after about 20 mins in and opposition packs start to tire, Mellor could be used at centre or even L.Sutcliffe or Evans could go to centre to accommodate the shuffle round. Atm our pack is too weak so if we can't add to it outside the club due to wanting to get the right man and not having quota spots available etc we definitely could change the dynamic of the pack if Hurrell could maybe be used there at second row off bench because atm our pack is probably one of weakest in super league.

Saw footage of Jai Field in a 9s tournament I think it was. He has some skill set as a back. Very quick and has real strike ability. Can we not dig out a Scottish grandad or something for him..

I think Hurrell would be crap whatever position we played him.
