The only Wigan player who may get a sniff in Wires side is Gildart. However, here's my thoughts on all of them...
Williams - stopped playing once he went Marquee.
Zak - Doubt he's on as much as Rachford. If he is then we've overpaid.
Wingers - either injury prone or not in the same league as Charnley/Lineham.
Sarginson - wasn't that great before he went to Aus. Madness to re-sign him
Props - plodders with no stamina. Why can props for other clubs manage more than 20 mins, yet ours cant?
Powell - Not a patch on Clark. Pound for pound, even if Clark is on double, he's worth it. I wouldn't pay powell in buttons.
Lockers - Past it. Last two games have seen him make error after error. Needs to retire this season. Thanks for the memories.
Tommy - if he is getting paid the same as Austin, then he's stealing a living. If he's on half of what Austin is getting then he's still stealing a living.
Isa - Squad man at best
2nd rowers - not a patch on what Wire have.
Farrell - crocked. Needs a salary commensurate with his on-field time.
So there you have it. Only Gildart is worth a decent wedge of the SC and only Gildart could add something to the side currently 2nd in the table.
Yet look who won the Grand Final with Williams, Manfredi, Davies, Sarginson, Tommy, Lockers etc. It’s not about the best individuals on paper, it’s about a team.
I agree we need to strengthen but no need to go overboard because things aren’t going so well. Most of the Wigan team have something that most Wire players do not, winners medals.
