The prop situation is an interesting one though, as whilst we have a lot of numbers, you could argue that two of those are well past their best (Clubb and Flower), two are project signings (Bullock and Clark), three are youngsters (Byrne, Partington and Havard), and Burgess is something of an unknown with his fitness. You almost sense that Clubb and Flower are sticking around to provide another season for the young lads to develop, and the club have rolled the dice on the quality (Clark and Bullock) and fitness (Burgess) of the others.

I might be on my own but I hope we don't renew Flower's contract next year. Had a big tittylip a few months ago cause he lost his 10 Jersey yet these days he's only ever out due to injury or playing with an injury. Time to get rid, heard Catalans are sniffing.


No I agree. His time is coming to an end with us unfortunately. Other than the infamous Grand Final incident I have no complaints about his time here. He has been a solid reliable prop but we must move on.

I think we’ll see Flower move on this season at some point tbh and then didn’t somebody say the Clubb deal is one year plus an option of a second for the club, rather than an out and out two years. If that’s the case I’d be looking to thank both for their service and trying to replace them with one front row leader. If Burgess can get fit then a new prop, Burgess, Bullock, Partington, Clark, Byrne and Havard looks good to me. We’ll also have Lockers retiring, so a player who could switch between loose forward and prop, in the mould of Sao who played well for Hull yesterday (somebody like him because we’ll have no chance of get him) would be welcome.

Next years recruitment will be really interesting. With Harry Smith looking all class, a replacement for Tommy would ideally another player who can shift between 7 and 9 but there’s not many about. A lot will depend on Hastings I suppose in terms of what we need.

Clubb, Lockers, Tommy and Flower leaving would free up significant space. I think we can afford to leave the prop department for recruitment unless someone becomes available we can’t not put an offer in for, but I would agree in that we could do with a Tommy replacement.

I would be amazed that if in the next month or so we (the club) didn’t know of Jackson’s intentions at the end of the season. If he continues his current form it would be more of a shock if he didn’t have an NRL offer. Our Tommy replacement may be a Hastings replacement too.

The prop situation will rely on George Burgess IMO and the impact he can have. If it’s a really positive one we may be ok but I’d still want one player minimum in the prop/loose forward area if we’re dating Flower, Clubb and Lockers leaves.

I don’t know when this deadline on Hastings is but Wigan need to be looking at options now in case he does head home. I’m confident Harry Smith will be ready for a starting berth next year but if Hastings followed Tommy out the door, then they’d both need replacing. Maybe a marquee half and somebody who can offer a bit of impact out of dummy half. I read on the other board that Shorrocks is definitely leaving as well, so we’d be down to just Smith, Powell and Bourouh. Lam said there’s a future here for Josh Woods, so he may take Shorrocks current role.
