How is it a Wigan hating thread? Please elaborate. I love how you missed the massive amounts of praise heaped on Wigan. Just because somebody says a few of your players average, you throw a massive hissy fit. I also mentioned that quite a few of our own are. Get over yourself, get some balls an man up.

| I think the only "average" players in Wigans team are Goulding + Deacon (ignoring Marsh, who wouldn't/shouldn't get in the side when everyones fit).
Leuluai isn't average but I just can't figure out where he should play. I rate McIllorum highly, he's a workhorse but his distribution is constantly improving, and he's got a handy kicking game.
I also genuinely don't think there are many better centres than Carmont in the league, I'd only have Bridge over him, and maybe King if he played in the centres + not the wing. I rate him higher than Shenton and the Senior of 2011.

For all your knowledge on Wigan, Rogues, you do come out with some crackers from time to time.
Solomona's stats versus Hansen's are also pretty impressive.

Kiwi's use him as a hooker now. They've tried him at half a few times and of those games that I did see on the box, he copped a lot of criticism from the aussie commentators, who's opinion of him is basically: He's a hooker, and a bloody good one, but not a half back. (ironically, much the same as many on here think about Monaghan).

You don't know the answer to this; your knowledge of RL is obviously very limited which explains why you appear not to know about the three international hookers at Warrington.
1) Mickey Higham
2) Jon Clarke
3) Louis Anderson
have all represented their country internationally at hooker.
Always HTH to help a smart-alec Wigan fan.

Paul Prescott has been picked whilst Paul Wood hasn't.
No much credibility in the selections there.

I would much rather have Deacon in my team than Leuluai IMO. On Carmont he is a good solid player to have but i think Shenton is better.

You call Carmont solid, but I'd say his attacking skills are his strength, he makes so many breaks down that left side as well as usually making any overlaps count.

Quote ="morleys_deckchair"do you think Hansen is better than Harrison?'"
No but I still just think Harrisons a prop. I think Hansen is just a workhorse, tackles solidly all day, pretty good support play, and he'll chip in with a few tries. Wigans version of Paul Clough.
So no, I don't think he's better than Harrison, but I also don't think he's far off, and both of them and pretty far away from average.

Possibly because 3 of Wigan's 5 props last season, Feka, Coley and OCarroll - didn't play?
