Laidlaw has impressed me so far this year, very solid in defence and doesn't shy away from carries. Hasn't let us down by any means.


Watts would offer more with ball in hand, which after the Cas game is something we need.

I think Borough has been very good but is suffering from too many minutes which is affecting his running game. I'd like to see him and Cust playing in 20 minute spells.

Has he?  Which games has he stood out in?  Defensively sound but I've seen next to nothing from him attack wise.  His ball out of dummy half is slow and often inaccurate slowing down our attack.

Just my opinion and others will differ but he looks a bit like Danny Houghton Mk2 to me

I think he had been good and think he will get better, agree needs to play less minutes and run more, actually think he has a good running game. Also set up a couple of trys for Ese Ese.

Don't think there's anything wrong with a Danny Houghton MK2 as long as we have a second hooker to come off the bench and provide a spark with a quick running game.Would love for Balmforth to be that player and hope he can get back to last year's form.

Wigan would be crazy to let him go at this point. He had a few loan spells last year without really impressing, now it looks like he's really building something. Byrne and Hill are both gone with not a lot of cap space left. 

Eseh and an academy front rower will likely replace them in the squad and Id hope that we're able to bring in a high quality second rower to replace Farrell.
