100%, great player, halfback is his position, took some time to get going, but is starting to show what he is capable of, with go really well with Clune next season

Until Watson stats messing about with the team and blaming everyone but him.Connor was good for us but has more average games than great ones and his head can go

Release Carlos, then get Sailor and a new 7

If we sign Smith, I wouldn't want Cust, similar type players.

I want an out and out 7, Hawkins or Volkman, but not either would get a visa.

I'd take Hampshire and Cust, think that would work, but sounds like Smith is done.

Good job it’s not upto you then…shall we get Hookem back as you was bigging him up and as for brown at 13..Jesus,I know people like props at 13 but I don’t..brings nothing to the teams having a prop at 13

Do you know why I was bigging him up and wanting him to get a chance, because I watched him develop in the youth systems, where he was outstanding, including for Yorkshire academy, but we didn't give a chance, instead played Jordan Johnstone at 7, ok it might not have worked, but should have give the kid a chance.

Whilst Brown might not be a perfect 13, he offers more than Cator in attack, can pass, offload and break tackles which is more than Cator can do.

I'd like to sign a 13 like Westerman or Smith, but that isn't going to happen and we need a better option than Cator at 13.

Don't know if Joe Shorrocks is available, but if he can't get into Wigans 17 regularly, I'd take him at 13

Fair enough Dave… I saw harry tyspn-Wilson a few times and he looked the part but another who wasn’t given a chance.I know what you mean about a 13…I’d give Carlos ago as think he has the game as his days as a centre are gone. The 7 is going to be hard…I’m not a massive Lino fan but we may have to and he can kick.would you take Thornley from Wigan?

Sorry didn’t no I wasn’t allowed a opinion you f****** idiot

If you’d stated an opinion, fair enough but you signed up 3 weeks ago and your first post is a statement of intent to relinquish your pass and not support your team of 20 years and you call me an idiot

Yes HTW was another one, look like world beaters in academy then don't make the step up.

Not a fan of Lino personally, but isn't much about, just hope for an ace up Smith's sleave.

Wouldn't be against Carlos at 13, be better than Cator.


I wouldn't sign Thorney either type of player who onky looks good in a good side, rather have Mcgilvary or stick with what we have.

Be a good signing for a year.

Still think with the help of Grix, we will get a couple of forwards from the Championship
