Dont know how much truth there is in this but I heard we are getting Gleeson on a 4 year deal.

Sorry just seen other part of the thread but I heard it too.

Lockyer @ 6 and Hunt @ 7 - with Tomkins learning off them both.

Dobson is outstanding and a real effort player that took pride in the Wigan shirt. Unfortunatly he's under contract at a good club and we won't get him out of there anytime soon.

Ironic isn't it when people criticise Wigan for letting go so much 'outstanding British talent' when in reality the only player most fans really wanted to keep is an Australian.

With a little more recruitment, Hull Kr could well be a threat for the trophies by building a team around him.

Why is Goulding slowly but surely becoming a player no one rates? He is still young and learning the game. He has also copped a lot of unfair stick from some fans and has been made a scapegoat by Noble who regularly drops him when IMO the fault has lain elsewhere.

People are ready and willing to forgive mistakes/deficiencies in S Tomkis and Ainscoughs games (rightly so) but after another season will they be writing them off like Goulding if they have not become England internationals?

I know Gleeson is a good player but I think Goulding will be one day and this will be seen as Wigan letting young players go for older players not produced by the club. If Gleeson is only to be signed for 2010 won't he be 30?

Dave

Agreed!

I'll be very disappointed if we allow Goulding to leave. There's really no reason to get rid, when we have the likes of Phelps at our club, who have already reached their potential.

Karmichael Hunt, I reckon there's more chance us signing Gene Hunt.

Theres more chance of James Hunt and he is dead

I'd be pretty dissapointed if we signed Hunt tbh.

He's a decent player but vastly over-rated and with Roberts and Richards on long term deals along with the emergance of Ainscough we don't need a fullback and he isn't an out and out halfback.

He'd also be on a wedge and looks to be abit of a tit.

why sign a full back,we need a class stand off and a couple of class props.

Me too

Our back 3 is pretty much settled and give Roberts a decent centre and we will have near enough the best back 3 in the league

Hunt is not a half back and if he was going to convert he would need a Lockyer or Orford next to him
