wilkin,flannery,gilmour,puletua and clough would walk over the wigan 5

Rubbish.
1 Gilmour is playing centere
2 Flannery, give us a break
3 Wilkin - his World Cup performances should tell you something.
4 Clough - good young prospect but behind all of the Wigan 5.

He looks good - his try last night was a joy to watch - hopefully wigan will have another 2nd rate aussie next year so we can take him permanently

Mossop like Moore will go where he wants to go, contracts mean nothing, and no club will force a player to go, or stay, where he doesn´t want to be
They know it is counter productive, so just wait till end of season, and see who talks to who.

There is a major reality check needed if you think Mossop will leave Wigan any time in the near future.

He seems a good player, his try was very good

Wigan might bring an Aussie over to replace Tim Smith who will go home.
Wigan won't bring an Aussie over to replace Phil Bailey who will leave possibly for a SL club. Hansen, J Tomkins and Mossop will be competing for his place.
If developing and playing British talent is so important to Huddersfield then why bring over Brett Hodgson when he was replacing Leroy Cudjoe? A very expensive Aussie to replace a good local talent!
Carney would have come over if he could have obtained a visa and another local lad David Lawrence would have missed out.
Brown wears the 3 shirt and plays 6. If Carney have arrived then Brown would have played 3 and Carney 6 with Lawrence missing out.
Good to see both Cudjoe and Lawrence in your team v HKR though!
I think you might find that Wigan played more former academy players in their team v Salford than Huddersfield did from theirs v HKR. In fact Hudds have more former Wigan academy players in their team than their own academy lads.

Hodgson came as a replacement for Thorman
FWIW we had 15 Englishmen in our 17 on Friday

We had Cudjoe,Lawrence,Crabtree,Jackson and Raleigh from our Academy plus Lunt and Kirmond who we have brought in from NL2 on duty

It does show desperation claiming Jacko and Raleigh as Huddersfield products. In the strictest sence they may well be but in real terms they are nothing of the sort.
