Do you not think if were to come back over here he would go to Bradford before us anyway?

No chance he'd get a game ahead of Platt and Sykes

Didn't seem anything to special to me there
2 and 10 looked immense

I wasn't suggesting he did anything special, just some vids I found. He is always backing up though and he came into the line well creating tries. No wonder he is so good though behind that defence.

2 and 10 really stood out, class players, 6 also looks brilliant.

How we can make any comparison to Phelps or Briscoe is beyond me. Most people have formed opinions based on a couple of you tube videos of him and stats from a reserve competition. What a bunch of moppets we are on this forum sometimes.

The videos are just to have a look at him, it doesn't mean I suggest we sign him, but i would back Maguire if he did. He is a highly rated player, I am not basing my opinion on a video though.

Why on earth would we go for Widdop.

We have equally as good at the club already in the reserves. Briscoe suggestion was inkeeping with the wigan theme.

Personally i think we may move pat to full back and give ainscough a starting wing spot with vievers, thornley charnley or marsh providing the depth in 2011.

God NO! He can take a high ball thats it. His positioning has been put to shame by Phelps, he can't return for poop! Keep Pat in his best position, don't move him just to 'do a job'.

Hasn't Pat been in top three metre makers in the team since his second season? And i'm sure he was top last year wasn't he? When he mostly played fb?
