Owen Farrell, could we lure him back for 2011, is there room for him with Thornely, Pryce,Gleeson, Goulding, Locky and Tomkins?

To be honest never saw anything of him in league have seen a few games in Union the lad has bags of ability but would take a massive investment. Just throw it in there as people including myself have been discussing replacements for Carmont, Pryces and Goulings future etc etc.

People who watch the reserves have told me that Owen Farrell was the most talented player they have ever seen in the reserves.

What position did Owen Farrell play?

It was paid for by Farrell's money, not Whelan's.

Owen never played at academy or reserve level for Wigan.
He was outstanding for St. Pats and Wigan town teams though.

Yesterday convinced me that we have no need to buy anything over then a back up halfback to Leuluai and Tomkins and spend the rest of our money on a couple of forwards.

Fielden has flattered to decieve at times but he's hit rock bottom these past few weeks. Whilst the rest of the team seems to have upped their games and intensity, his seems to have dropped off to probably his worst level in a Wigan shirt. He looks totally downhearted and like a guy that if it wasn't for his huge wage would probably retire.

Thats why next season i'd re-sign Coley to play between Prop and backrow and get a top draw prop in. If money would allow possibly even 2 with O'Carroll or Prescott being loaned out.

Something needs to be done.

Shame we missed out on Ryles last time around, he'd have a good signing.

They've said all along that next year is our year for challenging so they've obviously been planning their squad balance around 2010...here's hoping!!

Eamonn O'Carroll would hugely benefit from a year's loan at another Super League club - we can then assess whether he could have a future at Wigan.

Just to emphasise the point - most fans were agreed that we were in dire need of two new forwards prior to Hock's suspension.

I'm desperate for us to make the most out of our talented backs by bringing in some top quality in the forwards.
