Lot of talk on here about wingers but lets be honest, they are hardly the problem here.

1. No organising scrum half,
2. No props at all - thus negating the need for 1 really (unless we're signing a vintage Andrew Johns),
3. Centres are undersized,
4. Hooker isnt providing any attacking value other than passing the ball off the ground.

The big problem for Wigan is physicality, as I see it. The entire pack, bar Greeenwood and Lockers, is undersized, as are our starting centres. The last time we had a truly undersized front row was c. 2003/2004 when Faz was playing prop, and you know what - we played tactics to maximise our chances. We didnt try and 'mix it up the middle' as we had no muscle, we took the ball out wide regularly and ran the opposition ragged. It seems we arent smart enough to see this currently.

Top to tail, there are a number of issues with Wigan and it all boils down to being cheap in the market:

1. Hardaker
2. Davies
3. Gildart
4.
5. Manfredi
6. Williams
7.
8.
9.
10. Flower
11. Greenwood
12. Farrell
13. O'Loughlin

14. Leuluai
15. Bullock
16. A.N. Other Impact-making prop
17. A.N. Other Impact-making second rower

Get rid of: Isa, Tautai, Navarette, Sammut, Sarginson, Clubb (retiring?), Hamlin, Joe Burgess,
Fine backups/depth: Escare, Powell, Marshall, Hankinson, The kids (i.e. Jack Wells, Paisley, etc).

Not helped by the fact I don't think we have wingers centres. But it's testiment to marshalls attacking ability that he's at similar stats given the experiance gap.

If cutting the wages or looking to put the no one towards a different position then it would be one of burgess or Manfredi to go to bring in a prop of reasonable quality. With either Davis it marshal covering?

I like Marshall he's got loads of passion for the club you only need to see that when he scores id keep him at Wigan !!

Getting back to the four wingers debate. Most people seem to agree that Burgess and Manfredi would be first choice. On Friday we were having this discussion and the question was asked "When did they last play together in the same Wigan team"?

Perhaps we need to let them go along with one of Marshall or Davies and bring in two new wingers that dont have a history of being out injured?

Lockers should have retired at the end of last season. Just shows how difficult it is to replace anybody in SL, and how the quality on the field, on the whole, has diminished so rapidly over the last 5 years.
