To be honest playing 6/7 games on the run without getting injured would be a start. We do need to use the duel register system better next year. Frodsham could still have a good future at the club but you feel he has to break into the team soon for that to happen.

We've got 5 good front row options including clough. Emmitt only really came back from Leigh because Fozzard was fizzling out. Gaz could go and have a reet crack at Leigh for perhaps the whole season and then come back in 2011 for when many people predict Graham will be leaving.

If he is as good as he's been hyped to be, then a run in the championship would be great for him. If he's going to make it at a top superleague club, he should be one of the best props in the championship by 20, so it'll give him an opportunity to prove himself

The only reason a lot gets made of the likes of us and Saints releasing younger players is because we release more due to us having more complete the scholorship scheme as such and making it to the fringes of the first team.

As regards to the players we have let go, a few years back I would have said Shaun Briscoe but I think with Sam/Mossy/Richards who can play FB were pretty safe there.

For the likes of Robinson, Briscoe, Wild, Aspinwall who we have let go, we have the likes of Sam, Joel, Lockers, Faz, Goudling and so on who are still playing first team for Wigan from the academy - same for Saints with the likes of Eastmond, Foster, Wellens, Roby etc.
