Neither are plating regularly so Finch is the target. If Finch doesn't play then we can aim all our bile at Lima again. If finch doesn't play and Lima is suspended then the abuse will move on to Hansen, and so on.....

Plating food or silver plating ?, do you know something we don't ?

Nice to see him come out and make comment on the situation. He's such an important player for us and we need him here long term to kick on.

What a ridiculous thing to say.

Whilst Finch hasn't set the world on fire he's still not been half as bad as some make out.

He's getting better week in and week out.

Some Wigan fans just have no clue.

measured response there priestman...

i just think in terms of value for money and in the position he's playing in we could do better blooding mellor.

we dont 'need' finch as such at the minute - we already have gf winning players in his position. why not be blooding mellor slowly so that we can push him into the frame when deacs goes? cheaper and more effective in long term. mellor may not be up to it but we wont find out if we dont give him a go...

i dont think he's been shocking and im not making him a scapegoat i just dont think we need him - fich this is. if he's flirting with a move back to oz then let him go

Good to hear. It's obviously always better when a player comes out to stop rumours. I'm looking forward to seeing Tommy becoming a world class 9 in a Wigan shirt. Madness to think he's still only 25.

So that's rumours about Richards firmly knocked on the head.
Tommy says he;s staying at least until the end of 2012. As for Kiwi ambitions, he's won the World Cup and Four Nations with them whilst at Wigan. Being here doesn't stop him playing for the Kiwis.
I'll bet Finch will see his contract out.
Right! Who's next?

We need another half or a fuill back to replace deacon if sam moves back to 6 and a centre to replace gleeson / george.

I still think carmont may shelve retirement plans though.

As for amos, we need to release him and free up a wedge from our salary cap

Completely agree about Roberts. Yes he was explosive last year, but I prefer Charnley now as he is more driven IMO. IL has to talk to George and tell him retirement isn't an option. You can't lose two international centres from your team in one year.

In terms of depth we have Joe Mellor and Sam Powell, but in terms of pure quality and experience then Deacon definitely does need replacing. I want to see Leuluai move to 9 next season with McIlorum and for us to sign a top class halfback. With Roberts not picking up form, Sam Tomkins to stay at 1.
