Who are the reserve halfs then...and is that why they are looking at Matty Smith...they are losing 2 pivots and cant see anyone coming through to replace them.

Joe Mellor is getting valuable experience at Widnes. Sam Tomkins could move into the halves if Matty Russell continues to improve like he seems to be at Hull. Wigan are also bound to sign a big name replacement for Finch. Soward?
Wigan will be better next year than this. A big worry for the rest of us.

Think Tomkins would be wasted in the halves. I can see Wigan going after Chase if Soward falls through.

Replacing Lima, Finch and Leulai with players of similar quality will be hard. Finch bossed the game against us. Lima was very good last few games I saw on sky. Lots of teams will be weaker next year with the NRL options being poorer. Currently only Saints look improved if their rumoured signing are true.

Disappointed you left out the bit about Russell and a new FC signing boozing it up in town on here but put it on the Rovers board instead - confusing. Come on, cockle, moderators are supposed to be consistent.

Wow that crystal ball of yours is amazing....

With Lima, Finch, Leuluai and Carmont all going, plus Amos Roberts and probably Fielden, Wigan are going to have a lot of money to spend next year.

Agreed, but with the salaries commanded in the NRL now, they'll be struggling to replace with like quality IMO.

I agree, I believe it could become more of a level playing field for a few clubs over the next few years. (apart from Wire of course who appear to have some very creative accountants)
