I know, i'm talking about the pack as a whole. I just don't rate Wilkin or Flannery that highly.
Hoffman Tomkins
O'Loughlin
is a lot stronger than
Puletua Wilkin
Flannery
Imo at least. |

| Quote talulah="talulah"That's probably true. It depends on which LMS turns up - sometimes he can be fantastic but other times goes missing. It also depends if Fielden and Coley can keep up their form from this year, rather than repeating 2009's mediocre form. And also if Jeff Lima will be Palea'aesina but with twice the on-field time!'"
If you have watched Lima you will know as some pies have said on your own board he has been crap for a big part of the season. |

As have a lot of the storm side.
Surely we've more reason to be confident about these signings than usual as our coach knows each player extremely well, and the fact they are coming as a group should help them settle in. |

It may have something to do with them not having anything to play for this season. We'll find out next year I guess. |

| Quote talulah="talulah"Leeds have certainly been unlucky with injuries this year, particularly in the early part of the season. I guess you wouldn't really notice our injuries this year unless you'd been following the team. Cameron Phelps, Amos Roberts, Martin Gleeson, George Carmont, Thomas Leuluai, Stuart Fielden, Mark Riddell, Harrison Hansen, Sean O'Loughlin, Paul Prescott, Mike McIlorum, Phil Bailey, Paul Deacon, Eamon O'Carroll, Lee Mossop, and Darrell Goulding have all been out for significant periods this year.'"
I think the point your missing here is the seriousness of the injuries sustained and the number of weeks missing and also the key nature of the positions effected, not disputing all teams have injuries, just some are for a lot longer than others, the only one of note for wigan that I can remember is the amos roberts one ???, nearly every member of the first team have missed games, however most have been for long periods ???
Pleease tell me if I am wrong !!!!!  |

I don't think I did miss your point - I acknowledged you have been unlucky with injuries this year, probably more so than Wigan.
However, I felt I had to correct your view that Amos's injury was our [ionly [/isignificant one this year. I could go and find out how many weeks all those players were out for but it'd take much too long! I can remember Paul Deacon only played 10 games or so. Several others have been out for 10 weeks or more I think. |

The forwards are two decent signings, but Brett finch is pants dont get too excited, he is not a top earner at melbourne and theyb are happy to let him go when they are in deep siht next year, as we all know with the cap |

The info is here: wigan.rlfans.com/fusion_pages/in ... ge_id=1483
Of course just because a player hasn't played 32 matches doesn't mean he was injured, some were dropped, but Lee Mossop has been out 14 weeks, Cameron Phelps was out for about 10, Phil Bailey for about 10, Harrison Hansen for about 14, Eamon O'Carrol for about 16 weeks.
I don't think there's a need to examine it in too much detail because I have acknowledged that Leeds' injuries this year have been worse than Wigan's. |

Like I said earlier, Maguire knows what he's getting and I trust in Maguire.
He won't be on huge money here either, but he'll bring something different to the halves, a wealth of experience and a personality to add to the team. |

As has just been said, we lost Hansen for about half the season, same with Mossop. Roberts missed a massive chunk of the season when he was playing the best rugby in SL at the time.
McIllorum was also out for long periods, as well as Deacon missing the first half of the season.
We've had our injuries, they just haven't been to Sam Tomkins or Fielden. |
