10- Havard

12- Farrell
13- Shorrocks

I know none of these would get in your team as they are not worthy but one must try.

They didn't you,ve not read my post properly. If you read it correctly your team would be stronger with the inclusion of Bateman.

You are correct that we wouldn't have none of those players, though.

So we’d all like, hypothetically, to see Saints and/or Wigan run with the same budget for their entire rugby department as Wakefield (for example) do now, for a decade to see how it pans out?

We are already doing it in the Ladies Game by way of York, Leeds and Saints, hats off to York who are doing stuff to promote the game whilst the usual suspects missing from that particular input to the game.

That is why I didnt use Bateman but yes both sides are not bad.
I see why you wanted to include Champion ship players as you are not as strong.

Wigan have strengthened one of their 2 real weaknesses by bringing Cooper in immediately. Wouldn't expect to see much of Partington for the rest of the year now.

White flags flying over the Halliwell Jones Stadium today, wonder if Saints can borrow Matty Ashton for a couple of weeks until Tommy Mak is back.

Good move by Wigan look a lot stronger now ready for the business end of the season.
