I dont see the hype regarding LMS, if he wasnt a Southerner no-one would bat an eyelid, most over rated prop ever!

Re: Rumours and signings 2010 v1 : Sun Mar 28, 2010 7:19 pm  

Wigans BIGGEST priority has to be the signing of Lee Mossop on a long term (4 or 5 year) deal.

well who else then? Ewan Dowes? Nick Scruton? Fa'asavalou?, for mine there isn't that many great britsh props in the game anymore, unless you count Morley, Graham & peacock and i can't see us getting any of those three next term

As much as I rate Shenton, there's no way we'll be singing him anytime soon. Gleeson's under contract until 2012.

Ainscough who may be used as part of the deal to secure Shenton.

Isn't Shenton off contract, which would mean we don't have to strike a deal with Cas?

----------------

Re the squad, I expect Coley & Fielden to stay on current form, not to mention we have to keep some experienced pro's. I also don't see Phelps being allowed to leave, his constant improvement will see him remain.

Feka, Bailey, Carmont & Pryce will be on their way imo.

With Shenton & a prop from Aus or potentially LMS brought in to replace them.

Im quite sure one of them could play in the other centre.

Exactly. You hardly need a degree to know your left and right.

LMS is a talent and it's easy to bag him by saying he's had it easy or is overhyped by his team but he's still a good young prop playing in a poor squad.

If you don't rate LMS then sadly there's not much better out there.

We may have to start looking at other players who can switch.

The first guy i'd be looking at is Langley. He's got the size, strength and attitude to be a quality prop IMO. I'd liken him to Coley in that he's a unit with a real motor inside who just with his sheer natural bulk and strength will be able to adapt easily to the props role.

I also like the look of Watts at Hull KR as he's another big guy with a lot of potential and like Mossop he could move to prop.
