We have been saying 'not that far off' for years now, its getting boring.

Wigan need a revolution, starting with a new coach (preferabley Australian).

Maybe.

I also think banging on every day about a team you don't even go to watch is a bit rich.

Don't you?

After waching Sam tomkins my first thoughts were he's defo not a 7 hardly moves the ball around the field doesn't organize the team.

So is he an old fashioned 6 who plays second receiever runnin off the back of a 7, this is difficult to judge considerin how poor tommy is as a 7.
Then I thought about trying him at fb. He has speed a quick step and would be awesome linkin up with the halves as all quality fb's do.

Remember putting a young 6 at fb is a tactic well used- Edwards/Lockyer keeps them out of the middle and allows them to link up well.

The issue is not the Communist Cap per se. It is rather the size of it. It is clearly not large enough to retain the talent in the game or relevant to the abilities of many clubs to pay a lot more on wages.

In answer to the first point it is pretty obvious the Salary cap has seen established or up and coming stars leave the game. Chris Ashton moved to Union.

In the NRL it is a lot worse. Matt Rodgers and Sailor (though they have returned. SBW, Gasnier, Tuquir, Luke Rooney have all gone. All were established internationals.
