Karl Pryce is a decent player but he seems very similair to Meli to me. I haven't seen him play that much so I couldn't be confident in my analysis but that is how it seems to me.

After a season riddled with injury I went to the Grand Final in hope rather than optimism with both our half backs and strike players out in Pryce and Eastmond. Turn this on it's head, wIth us at full strength and Wigan without Leuluai and Sam Tomkins?

A good season with some real quality conny through. The likes of Josh Perry and LMS joining Roby and Graham in the front row will make us stronger as will the pace and finishing power of Shenton.

Another winger in the off season will give us a great chance of getting back to Old Trafford. Considering just how poor we were we lost by 2 scores and bombed four in he second half. Potter is another debatable subject, Wilkin at 6 on a pitch that size and Lomax left centre and a brand new partnership in the biggest game of the year - suicide!

Dissappointing, but I'm sure we'll go strength to strength especially with a new coach.

Were missing a top winger from Australia imo. Get rid of Flannery and sign a Aussie winger.

1. Lomax
2. ?
3. Shenton
4. Wheeler
5. Mei
6. Pryce
7. Eastmond
8. Graham
9. Roby
10. Perry
11. Soliola
12. Dixon
13. Puletua

14. Moore
15. LMS
16. Clough
17. Ashurst

18. Wellens
19. Wilkin

Etc......

That would be one excellent team imo.

I think fosters earned the right for a shirt. The kid will learn from this season and come back stronger next season. I'd much rather have him on the wing than Meli!!!-

Re: Lets look forward to 2011 : Mon Oct 04, 2010 4:59 pm  

but foster won't be quicker. We need pace out wide

If all you want is pace then get Kevin Penny in. However, while pace would be good - and Jamie Foster isn't slow - it's also very useful to have a back three who have good positional sense, the ability to catch a bomb and stop a try. Jamie Foster has all those qualities.

Re: Lets look forward to 2011 : Mon Oct 04, 2010 5:41 pm  

I've no issues with Foster on the right Wing and Shenton at right Centre next year. It's a young, but exciting combination. The left hand side is crying out for a good Centre, or Winger should Meli leave though.

Wellens (capt)
Foster
Shenton
Wheeler
Meli
Pryce
Eastmond
Perry
Roby
Graham
Wilkin
Soliola
Flannery

Bench

Moore
Clough
Puletua
McCarthy-Scarsbrook

I think thats a side thats more than capable of competing for trophies when all fully fit. As people have said we do need a pacy and phyiscally strong winger but weather we get on is another thing. Personally I would like us to sign a Loose Forward as we havent had a decent one since Sculthorpe and Jason Hooper filled in the role superbly well until his unfortunate injury. Flannery is a decent Second Rower but I wouldnt like him to fill in at 13 permanatley.
