We need a new backup hooker for me!

Are you expecting a few injuries?

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Fri Jan 03, 2014 8:39 pm  

I think Logan Tomkins will see this as his big year to make his mark and come out of his brothers shadows. I'm not convinced he's up to it but I at least know he'll give it every last drop of energy.

If his form isn't good then I'm happy enough with our other options of Sam Powell and George Williams (who I think could make that spot his own this year).

If we do spend I'd still like another outside back and a prop/second row but it's not panic stations if it doesn't happen.

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Fri Jan 03, 2014 10:02 pm  

I too have a hunch Tomkins will have a big year. It is a massive year for him and he needs to make a mark he will be aware of that.

If Powell and Lauaki go as looks likely I would love us to go after a Prop. I was going to say a Prop/second row but I think we have enough of them.

A wing/centre would not go a miss.

I'd expect Tomkins to have a big year if I believed he had the ability to do so. Unfortunately, as much as I like him and appreciate his work load, the ability isn't there to be a Wigan player for me. George Williams could very well move into that position as he has bulked up a lot.

Rather than being obsessed with a back-up hooker, id like us to use that bench slot to get Williams and Rocky game time. they are the future.

Bingo, I'd use Hampshire/Williams/S.Powell in the most games then an extra back rower against Hudds, Leeds, Saints and Wire. Ideally one of them should then be ready for the 6 shirt in 2015 if/when Green goes to Aus
