Agree with some of your post but sam needs to pass at the right time,had the chance to put joel through a big hole in the first half and we go in 24-0 up at half time,instead we get pulled for a shepherd.Would we then be talking about the great lines joel runs off barret last season and smith at mm.

Mossop is our best young forward potentially, he should be playing IMO.

Why because we do not think every player at Wigan is perfect?

The lad has great potential but needs to work on his game and mainly his decision making with ball in hand to justify a place in a team with trophy winning ambition.

Mossop should not replace Joel.
LM soon runs out of gas, loses his concentration and sometimes his positional sense. He is a great talent but not yet up to play off rugby.
Same 17 for the rest of the campaign.
A good off season, no Flanagan next year and Mossop will be a regular off the bench each week. Come an injury he may well start games in 2010.
Not yet though!

If Bailey is staying he wont.
