We start next season without Pat, Roberts could go full back with Sam at 6.
This may well give us Goulding on the right wing and either Charnley or Marsh left wing.
Goulding has to be favourite as Carmont's replacement. He's a centre anyway and has had a very good season playing almost all year. I'm sure he will fill the left centre spot without any difficulty following his good run in the first team.
Interesting that there's no mention of a further year's option after 2011 for George.
I'm sure MM will manage that situation very well.

I agree and I hope that Goulding gets a lot more games at centre this season. He has done a good job on the wing but I have always seen him primarily as a centre. I certainly see Marsh as more of a full back/wing than centre and I think that Charnley is also more of a winger than centre.

Bridge is better than Gleeson and King better than Carmont, it's that simple. Wigan are by far the best team in the league and will be even stronger next year with your new additions. I just feel Warrington are stronger in that area. Wigan have great leaders and outstanding talent all across the board. In my eyes Sam Tomkins is the best player in the league and you have a core of outstanding young talent with more coming through the system.

No they arent

That's your opinion. Bridge and King are both much better than their opposites statistically as well. It is great news for Wigan that Carmont has resigned and I don't want the thread to derail.

Bridge doesn't have the time. Got a challenge cup winners medal to polish. What did Gleeson's Gran win? Bingo?

Yet, conveniently, he makes more tackles and more metres.

And, as you were so keen on using games playerd earlier, you'll have noted that Carmont missed 16 tackles in 24 games, yet Bridge missed 15 in 18 games. (Same goes for errors too).

At least be objective.

Not much between them I agree. It's not a case of me being biased. Wigan have a better set of Wingers, backrowers and the best player in the league. We can go back and to allday. Let's agree to disagree.

Fair enough.

Good luck for the season (but not too much mind )
