With a year on his deal I think we may struggle to get that. I don't honestly see him going because I don't think that sort of offer will be forthcoming but if it does I'm sure we'd let him go.

Ideally we need that extra 12 months off him IMO because come next year I expect Hampshire to be ready to make that step up to regular starter. He could be a sensational player for us at stand off.

You're not going to get an increased fee if he's going to go for nothing at the end of the season... Get him to sign a 12mth extension and then use this to get a better fee if they really want him...

It would be a massive blow if Green leaves. The club need to do their best to keep him for as long as possible.

Not sure about is needing to keep him as long as possible, depends on how Hampshire and Tierney progress IMO

Of course, there are several factors at play. Do Melbourne actually want him, and how much do they want him? How long does Green want to stay at Wigan? How will the youngsters progress?

Perhaps what I meant to say was "as long as we need him." And at the moment, we need him.

True enough, didn't Wane say it wasn't happening on Wigan Today anyway?

I agree, there might actually be a time within the next year to two where Green moving on would benefit us long term because we can't hold the likes of Hampshire and Williams back. Our halfback options for the coming season of Green, Smith, Powell, Hampshire and Williams really are excellent. It's a good mixture of age and experience and they cover all the bases of what you need from your halves between them.

There is also the option of Sarginson for stand off who played 6 at London and more recently for England Knights.
Those who went to the Knights game say he played well v Samoa.

I went to the Knights game and he did have a good game. I liked how he constantly took on the line and he linked up well with Sam Powell. I'm pretty excited about what he can bring this year. I think he'll add great utility value and in a better side he should progress and offer us similar options to what Ratchford offers Wire.

I'm excited to see Sarginson in a good side, a very talented player I reckon.

I think what this thread proves is that we have an excellent squad. And with a great coach in Wane, we should be very excited for 2014 and beyond. There's no reason we can't retain at least 1 piece of silverware.
