heard hes leaving at end of the season why the hell for i dont know, cause hes not being offered a extension on his contract i think.... hes been one of our best performers (good impact player off the bench)

is there any way we can put forward to the coaching staff and coach that the fans would like to keep him for atleast another year? cause i for one would like him to stay... i know the players would like him to stay aswel.

I think the new coach will (or should have) the last word on playing staff for next season!

He wouldn't get into a good side i'm afraid.

We WILL have a lot better.

Such as

ye name them lol

No!

As much as I have praised and supported and defended Jamie, in todays game he has something missing that could make him a top player in our league and SL. His size. If he could put on half a stone and be the same player (with pace and side step) then he would have the confidense to tackle a forward on his own. He doesn,t have a problem going forward but he needs more confidense bringing down players bigger than himself and a bit of weight could help him. Been saying he should have been playing more all season but if he is a weak link then he should become stronger or go. One thing I would like to know is, when he has not been playing for the first team and has not been injured. Why as he not been playing for the reserves?

why disrupt the reserves? but can think of a time when he's ben out when he hasn't been injured

Gives us something different in attack off the bench, but I'm sure the hooking position for next season will be completely different. All Millwards teams are built around spelling two quality hookers who give the team go forward and are solid in defence. Unfortunately Durbs lacks the second requirement. If I'm not mistaken most of Sheffields points on Sunday came when Durbin was on the field.

your right, we look far more cohesive in attack and defence when 'Jock' is on, even though (he admits) he isn't having his best season.

Another way of putting it was that 18 points came during a spell when C Hill was taken off for a well deserved rest.

Both Durbin and Chris Hill were off when they scored the 18 points. So i wouldn't criticise Durbin for is efforts in defence. Tbh i think Durbin has defended quite well this year for the size of him.

I,d have Durbin in the team anytime he,s the only one apart from
Mort capable of making a long break hes a good player and if they gave Maden a contract they should give Durbin one thats for sure !!!!

It wouldn't surprise me if they only offered him half of what he is on this year.

Bench player at best, can excite, shows enthusiasm, can occasionally add a different dimension to the play but personally with what we have at present would rotate Smith and Jock at hooker and use Hemmingway and Ridyard as Watsons back ups.

Would retain Durbin as a squad/back-up player to cover injuries.

would he want to remain as just a squad player?

No - can't see him getting any better deal though.

To be honest though all players would have to be 'just squad players' as thats the modern game no matter what speccies may think.

I disagree I reckon he'll get a good deal elsewhere and probably more regular rugby as well.

Who knows Basil might rate him we'll have to wait and see hey. He's renowned for getting the best out of players as well and Durbin isn't short on talent.

I don't think the Wigan fans will totally agree with that point



Anyway we will know soon enough as he (Millwad) has had the last few games (and reserves as well) sent to him on DVD.

Millward may need a full replacement team!!

Wait till he gets this latest dvd

He might ask to be released from it if he does.

Agent Millward init.
