Anyway.

1 young player from Wigan that I do like is Liam Farrell. A 20 year old with a big future.

So if you weren't trying to be why ask the question about Michael Monaghan that you obviously knew the answer to?

Agreed - impresses me every time I see him play. I would take him over Mitchell or Tyke any time although Mitchell is looking more impressive this season. Also really like the look of Charnley from what I've seen so far. Wigan do consistently produce some good young players.

When I look at the respective first teams, although I know I'm biased, I think the Wigan players I would put in our side without hesitation are Sam Tomkins, Pat Richards and Sean O'Loughlin. I would also take Farrell as mentioned above. Apart from that I think I would choose all our players but as I said, I'm biased!

I agree r.e Charnley, his finishing last week and during his spell with the Robins is nothing short of outstanding. Definitely one for the future.

exactly what i was thinking..hansen not fit to lace bens laces

aw diddums, did you have a poor time of it in 2006? shame, grow up ffs! you've earnt nowt this year yet, so lets just see shall we, arrogance, by eck, the new fragrance from wigan!

Oh just noticed i have a stalker, couple of bits of my work in someones sig.

I think Lee Mossop is another one with a huge future, had last season interrupted with a couple of shoulder injuries, but he's had some big performances this year, especially when you consider he's been moved up to prop full time.

awesome

thank you, not only entertaining but available all night!

don't do bar mitzvah's Slim...you never get paid enough

Ben Harrison twice as many missed tackles
Three times as many penalties conceded
Three times as many errors.

Give me Harrison Hansen any time (don't forget how this started by this)

There goes a man easily pleased

compared to the NHS, your joking right

Thanks for that insightful analysis of the relative abilities of the two players.

I've jus done a Karl Pyrce v Harrison Hanson thing on that site.

Hanson has missed 5 times as many tackles.
Price has made 11 times more tackle bursts.

So Price is at least five times better than Hanson, and you could argue, if you were an , that he is 11 times better.

Well, no. As they play in completely different positions.

I rate Hansen, but Harrison is definitely better.

I was just pointing out that quoting a few stats doesn't tell you anything.

<pointless contribution mode> This made me properly LOL </pointless contribution mode>

Why do all these topics RE Wire and Wigan always end up in dick measuring contests? Little squabbles such as "Hansen is better... no Harrison is better" blah blah blah. Fair enough, i appreciate that this is a forum and everyone is entitled to their own opinion etc but it is getting kind of boring now.

Tomorrow we will see the best 2 teams in the country with a near sell out crowd appreciating 2 quality rugby league teams. I for one will be appreciating both teams on show with some of the best players in the competition on show.

I started this thread with high hopes, don't know why.

Although Rogues claiming Hanson is better than Harrison was quite a gem.

Just like Ainscough was last season and look what happened to him

Meters made Twice as many as Hansen
Carries Twice as many as Hanson
Offloads Six times more than Hansen
Tackle Busts Ten times more than Hansen

Give me Harrison over Hansen

Overly optimistic?

Supremely optimistic, as always.
