| We have a great squad. SW and IL have worked wonders seeing us play in many finals and win many trophies since the partnership began.
However I am actually glad to see the unhappy faces, it's an indication that we never settle and always push to win, a winning fighting mentality is what often sees us through, our high expectations are something to be proud of, as fans and as a great club.
Controversial, however I'd like to see Gelling moved on. I like constant professionalism from all players and level-headed behaviour, he's too much for me. I feel there are better centres around SL if not the world of rugby.
Tommy must go. Never rated him during his first spell as a 7, was hoping time in the NRL would have improved him, sadly not. We need a new 7, not just a 'steady Eddie' who plays our structures, but someone who has a rugby brain, can create, can kick and can dart off the line.
I'd honestly take Dan Sarg back if available. Strong utility back. A starting centre who could easily cover FB along with Escare if Sam is to be moved to 7.
I'd also look at Josh Charnley, as a centre.

| I'd take Sarge over Gelling tbh, can cover all spots across ba Kline and isn't as injury prone

| Do you not remember Sarginson dropping balls for fun when he was here?

| I think Sarginson & Gelling are both as error prone, only benefit with Sarge is he can cover full back if Escare gets crocked...would still leave us short in centres unless Bateman dropped back but it seems that idea is dead and buried...
We need a star player in at #3, someone special and same again at #8...I don't know who is available or who would even want to join Wigan.

| Sarginson and Charnley - have people learned nothing over the last few years?
The strategy of signing previous players has been nothing short of a disaster and is one the reasons we have so little wiggle room on the cap. Not one player has come back and been the equal of when they left and most have been considerably poorer. Just imagine how different the squad might be if we hadn't signed the likes of Mossop, Joel and Leuluai?

The jobs for the boys club that MM Smashed is firmly back in place.
A club with two marque players, when neither are marque.

| I've said recently that we need to get away from keep bringing the old guard back at all costs and in regards to Charnley I totally agree because we simply don't need another winger. I feel slightly differently with Sarginson though simply because the squad could really do with a utility back capable of putting pressure on the centres.
Ultimately though we need a prop to (hopefully) replace Nuuausala and a 'proper' scrum half to (hopefully) replace Leuluai before we look at anything else and I can't think of any old boys knocking about at other clubs who realistically we'd go for (thankfully).

| I don't think JC will be returning to RL anytime soon.
Whilst I do agree that bringing back the old guard is wearing thin, I also think Sarginson would rubuke the trend and be extremely useful, hes a genuine utility back and does have that star quality.
I echo what NickyKiss said, we need a PROPer Prop with some star quality and a pending Gelling or TL going, a star centre or scrum half that can guide us around...I genuinely think Sandow could do a job?

| Sarge had been unlucky with injuries recently and if rumours are true a bit of a "culture problem". I would like to see him succeed in NRL but if he comes back to SL I hope it's not to Wigan, I think we can do much better. His left foot step infuriated me many times.

| Would definitely take Sarge back but I suspect he might command too high a wage for a utility back. Gelling doesn't half get a hard time. He is a bit off form but still keeping up a really high workrate. I reckon every top SL club would want him as a starter if we said he was available.

Sandow, no thank you... man’s like a plague. If we were to get a new seven we need someone who’s going to take control and lead us round the pitch allowing George to play what he sees. I’ve heard this guy called Matty Smith is decent at that.
