Why not!

I would like to see something like this

That squad would get 6th in SL at the most.

I said like Gasnier or Cooper. it was an example. Not actually them
This is a future team, Fielden is 29 now and on a chunk of the cap.

Have you added up the available funds from the departure of the players I listed? more than enough to afford 3 top players in key positions.

O Carroll's not good enough? a) we're taking about a team for the future 2-3 years down the line. Is O'Carroll's not good enough what is Coley?

An unrealistic team?

1 Richards (Already plays for us
2 WINGER
3 Goulding (Already players for us
4 TOP CENTRE
5 Ainscough (Already plays for us
6 Tomkins (Already plays for us
7 Smith (Already plays for us
8 ENFORCER PROP
9 Tommy (Already plays for us
10 O Carroll (Already plays for us
11 Hansen (Already plays for us
12 Lockers (Already plays for us
13 Tomkins (Already plays for us

14 Feka (Already plays for us
15 Hock (Already plays for us
16 (NEW HOOKER
17 Precott (Already plays for us

So out of 17, 13 already play for us and you say this is unrealistic?

Now I'm the one laughing.

If we'd of kept those bright prospects that we got rid of to bring in average aussies we'd have a great team now. Adding them with the british prospects we have now and i think this could challenge the current Wigan team. Apart from Hansen who was English at one point but did come through the ranks

1. Briscoe
2. Calderwood
3. Hodgeson
4. Goulding
5. Aspinwall
6. O'Loughlin
7. Robinson
8. Fielden
9. Higham
10. Hargreaves
11. Gilmour
12. Johnson
13. J.Tomkins

14. Hansen
15. Aspinwall
16. S. Tomkins
17. Brown

What a w@nk team!

Noble said after the match that Bailey and Riddell should not have gone back out but had to as they were short of bodies.
Bailey's shoulder was busted and Riddell had an ankle injury.
If neither are available then we have cover for Bailey in the back row.
McIlorum to start at 9 and Sam Tomkins bench for the interchange.
I'd go for Richards at f/b for the balance of the team.
Mine -
Richards,
Roberts, Goulding, Carmont, Ainscough,
Smith, Leuluai,
Fielden, McIlorum, O'Carroll
Hansen, O'Loughlin,
J Tomkins.
Bench - Feka, Hock, Coley, S Tomkins.

Trouble with that line up is I can't see Noble going with Ainscough & Sam in the same game. One of them but not two.

And that team is relegation fodder.

it could be called 'rejects and playing players out of position warriors'

Mate, that team would get munched by our current team.

If we have to put a fourth choice fullback in, then I'd play Sam Tomkins there.

Really? Granted you'll have seen him play a lot more than me but could he really cope defensively at full back in his first SL game? On second thoughts I agree with you about Vievers, maybe Bailey at centre with Goulding or Carmont at full back would make more sense if Roberts, Richards, Phelps and Mathers are all out of contention.

Sam Tomkins at FB? Someone incredibly high?
