Wasn't Roskell actually second in that vote and Thursfield third??.....

Are the rumours of cronk coming actually true?

Yes.

Might as well give us the double now then

Yes the rumours are true, but we are not signing him.

Westerman?

Remember us getting linked with him while he was at Cas. Wasn't he the next Andy Farrell?

I rate Grix higher than Westerman.....much higher

I wouldn't swap Westerman for Grix either. Just a shame Grixy's injury record to so horrendous. Hopefully once he's back from his injury he can get a full season. I was touting him as our next Captain at the start of last season but you need your leader on the field not in the stands.

I would say the captainship ought to go to somebody who commands respect from the players around him, him being on the field makes little difference.

That's the job of the playmaker organiser to command respect on the field.

Someone should tell Wigan and Sean O'Laughlin that.

What did they win last year? and that's no disrespect to any visitors. I don't have any facts (can't be bothered) on games played/won with SO'L in the team but I think the common consensus is that they'd like him to be playing an active part.



I don't know whether his games played ratio was better the year before when they won, but if it doesn't make a difference that 'approach' may suit Wigan due to their structured style of play. On the other hand recently we have been better with the likes of M Monaghan leading us around the park and calling the shots, or Morley 'putting the willies up the opposition' ....ooooeeer missus so we can get on top and play off the cuff, expansive RL



I'm with Wolfpack here give me a leader on the field every time, the commanding respect thing should be a given, if you've got to ask for it you probably haven't got it
