Rather we keep hold of George King than get Tautai.

Re: Rumours 2 : Thu Sep 20, 2018 12:04 pm  

Since Kings departure was first thrown out there....his performances have arguably been most consistent near a higher level than any other prop. Imo

Re: Rumours 2 : Thu Sep 20, 2018 2:17 pm  

King was always pretty consistent. Never great but always solid, irrespective of the form of the team as a whole. Tautai is better at his best, but that doesn’t occur very often.

If there’s any Wigan prop available I’d have young Sutton. Plenty of promise.

I'd have Clubb as I would say the only ball playing prop in SL...plus Hamlin...every time I've sent him he's a terrific impact.

Good player when he can be bothered but sadly since he got a new deal 18 months back he’s not been too fussed about putting a shift in.

Liam Marshall could find himself without first team action now Dom Man is back...and Tom Davis is better than Marshall.

Really? Both look decent to me.

They are all decent but I can't see Marshall getting a start over Davis and Manfredi.
If we can get him coming to Wire it might suit both teams?

Re: Rumours 2 : Fri Sep 21, 2018 1:46 pm  

Marshall will be 4th choice I’d imagine but it is tough to say with a new coach coming in. It’s the amount of work Tom Davies gets through which would put him above Marshall for many Wigan fans. If fit I still think Manfredi and Burgess are our best two though so something may need to give.

Yes I'd say that's bang on.
Marshall can finish but lacks the rawness for an around player.

Re: Rumours 2 : Sat Sep 22, 2018 4:24 pm  

I keep coming on here hoping to see rumours of

1. Another quality half.
2 A quality centre.
3. Two big hard aggressive props.

Because that's exactly what we need.
