Wigan Warriors • Rumours and signings v9
In my opinion we have 6 players who can cover the wing, and I stress cover via different combinations.
We have 2 frontline wingers, both with question marks over their fitness however both probably deserve a chance to come back and prove themselves. Manfredi in reality is probably on his last chance being brutal.
For our props we are probably looking at 1 experienced battle hardened prop, a project who looks to be coming good and a combination of 2 youngsters with Clubb providing backup along with more youth.
A lack of grunt and experience in the pack particularly Prop probably cost us a semi final win and the title.
That is why we need to prioritise a Prop.
The elephant in the room is obviously George Burgess. If he gets fit we are sorted, if he remains in the current state and doesn’t retire we need to recruit, and if he does retire, we need to recruit.
I hope GB can recover and contribute and if he does I think we are clear favourites next year, if however he doesn’t and we don’t add an experienced prop then I’d put Saints as favourites again.
