It may be something that Wigan will try when Roberts or Ryan King come back from injury. At some stage this season Wigan will also give Matty Russell a game at fullback and Sam at 6

I hope we see that. Fans may complain about our strength in depth in the three quarters, but the blooding of Russel and King will go a long way to solving that. Plus we'd go from a reasonably quick team to a ballistic one with those two on board.

It was a monumental turn around from last week, and the difference was. Desire! We wanted it this week. Where as last week the players felt like they only had to turn up to win, and we got burnt because of it.

I don't know what Saints fans as neutrals think, or as neutral as Saints fan's can be. But the more and more I see Charnley play, the more I think he's wasted on the wing. I'd personally look to move him inside to centre this season. Particularly when you take into account Carmont will be leaving at season end.

The first time I saw charnley play was on loan to hull kr and I knew straight away he was going to be good player.

I think he should stay out on the wing for now and let him develop and see if he can progress to a centre but at the moment don't try and fix what's not broken.

I don't like to say it but I think he's a very very good player the pies have there.

Charnley reminds me of Paul Newlove in his size pace and balance.
He is doing well on the wing but for me he looks like a potential world class strike centre.

Jeez he won't get many higher compliments then that. If we do move him to the centre spot at some point and he becomes anything like as good as Newlove was he'll be doing very well.

I'd leave him on the wing for now but at points throughout the season give him a shot at centre to ready him for taking Carmonts spot next year.

Nobody fancy talking about the doom and gloom thats going on at Wigan? The way we're all calling for a coach to be sacked and how the sudden realisation that our youngsters are nothing more than one season wonders has sunk in? Or is that another team....

No it was definitely Wigan that got beaten at home by Huddersfield missing half their first choise 13.

Hmmmm "The Ape" or Mr Royce "tittylip" Simmonds, perhaps we should have a poll....

Early days guys, you have a big gap to fill now Mr Graham has gone, but you have heaps of talent there...

If anyone can find 10 minutes or so, read ALL this thread from the very first entry and if you were one of the posters on the first 7 or 8 pages let's have another comment now explaining how your mind was working at the time and what you think of the Saints situation now. For me it makes embarrassing reading. I don't think we'll get a lot of gloating from the Wigan fans on here, their results now do the talking.
