It was interesting when Martin came in that no one knew it was happening. I wouldn't be surprised if we weren't in for Sezer at all, and it's just a bit out of proportion on here.

I expect the club to make at least 2 more signings for next season with some leaving, one of those signings being Gale.

It's too easy for agents to use us as a bargaining chip as everyone knows we're in for players.

If all 3 stay fully fit and injury free

Add Mellor and Smith.Walters and Trout waiting for their chance,the back row is position I don't have any concerns about.I'm hoping who ever the coach is integrates Walters into the team next year.

With JJB, Carl Ablett and Brett Ferres all very likely to be leaving, I would like another back row signing, so we have strength in depth when the inevitable injuries come next year.

we don't need anymore we have six plus Walters and Trout.I don't want players blocking their progress.

In no particular order we would have:

Merrin
Ward
Martin
Mellor
Smith
Sutcliffe
Walters
Trout

We don’t need any more back rowers. Spend the savings made on JJB, Ferres and Ablett (if he’s leaving) on a top quality 7.

Our back row is solid for next year if we survive this season we go into next years super league with Ward, Martin, Mellor, Smith, L.Sutcliffe, A.Sutcliffe,Trout, Walters I think we have a quality back row if everyone stays fit and we can alternate youngsters like Trout and Walters in if needed. Next year we need a quality prop and obviously a classy halfback.

Also savings made on Golding when he leaves.. plenty of salary to be had

Who will play in the halves for Wigan next year, could they have singed French to play 6. Is he any relation to Gary?

Could be, I also wonder if French may play at FB and ZH may move into the halves or centre, whatever they have a back division with way more pace and class than us.

I'm not convinced he will leave unless he can get a 2 year deal with another SL club and that depends if he wants 2 years.He may just see out his contract.
