[quote="jonh"]Speaking with one of our scouts the current philosophy is we are looking at lads with the potential to be 6" plus in most positions. Thornley falls into this category.

6 inches plus in most positions. So size really does matter!

I've no doubt that's why we're interested in bringing Brown back in too. I think there's nothing more Wane would want than a team of home grown lads.

Wane puts himself on a slippery slope, if his passion for Wigan lads, sees him replace players like Finch with players like Brown.

Eastmond for Tommy, Thornley, Pettebourne I would be happy with that. The thought of Eastmond inside an organising 6. Frightening.

Eastmond is made of biscuits and he has zero bottle. Not what we need.

He has strike and is an athlete.

That is true but it's meaningless when he's never on the pitch to utilise it.

jonh, i have thought long and hard about Eastmond and i actually think his best position (in RL) is playing number 6. He was known for his running game but i think he is a good passer of the ball and on his test debut v NZ in 2009 his passing was excellent when standing a bit wider.

Eastmond with an organiser like Finch would be devastating.


Still watch out for Simpson jr.
