Overseas players, they come and go.
Who would you say are the absolute future (The Backbone) for the club for years to come?

Joel Tomkins
Sam Tomkins
Sean Ainscough
Gaz Hock
Ian Thornley

Anyone else we have in our current squad who deserves such accolades?
Anyone else coming through the ranks who have that 'specialness' about them?

Successful Wigan teams historically have always had a good blend of top quality local lads spread throughout the team.

[quote="Mark"]Great game of rugby league. Fantastic atmosphere, Wigan were breathtaking and dominant in all areas for the first 25 minutes, coupled with us making alot of dumb mistakes,then fortunately they brought McIlorum on which helped us back into the game. I thought some of the tries we scored to get us within two we're out of this world stuff. Towards the end we had to force it a little and we had a few things go wrong, i.e Monas kick on the first for King and Solomona going off who was causing havoc. Wigan were clinical in their eventual execution of us. Proud of Wire today and gave us a little glimpse to the future. Silverwood was awful as per, but I expect no less. Tomkins is a world class player and by far the best english player in SL. Wigan are a champion side and would be a worthy winner of taking our title as challenge cup. Good luck over the next month and a bit.[/quote]

Obviously won't be the 'backbone' in 5 years, but I expect Logan Tomkins to be breaking in by the end of that 5 years.

Indeed, just checked on him.

Mossop / Farrell / Vievers all names i've been told to keep my eye on, but anyone else have a view? It's imperative that 2 youth players make it into the squad each season, to allow us to eek out these imports!

3/4 Top Quality Imports plus a dozen Top Quality local lads = potential success.

I went to school with him. He is a cracking player and play hooker and can play scrum half too.
