Clubb
Burgess
Flower
Bullock
Clarke
Partington
Navarette
Byrne
Havard

A saying springs to mind when I see this list. ‘Quantity over quality’.

Clubb- should have never been resigned. Makes me shudder to think could be one of our 4 props.
Burgess-needs to step up and return to former form. Been way from his best over the past few years.
Bullock-needs to drastically improve his D and fitness.
Clarke- looked bang average playing for Leigh in a lower league.
Partington- offers very little in attack. Average in D.
Naverette-so unpredictable. Can be solid or can be god awful.
Byrne-good prospect.
Havard-too young and untested to comment.
Flower-arguably past it. Suffered from injures last season. Don’t know if they effected his performances or if he’s just had his day. Looked bang average last season.

He’s got the cursed 14 shirt, everyone who has that leaves the year after.

He should have had the 8 shirt, he’s miles better than Clubb.

Not sure about the curse of the 14 shirt, only one player in the last five seasons has left the season after holding it. It's Bateman's lucky shirt if anything! Agree that Flower should have been given a starting shirt on merit, but talking of the club letting him down shows a real lack of awareness from him.

Flower hasn't been good for over 3 seasons now, even then I wasn't overly impressed. He's never been anything more than a poor man's Andy Platt.

Let down by the club?! He should be grateful he has been able to hold down a shirt at a club several rungs bigger than his ability should allow.

Bang average even at his “best”.

The fact that there is a discussion over whether he or Clubb should have a starting prop number tells you what you need to know about where Wigan’s squad needs investment.

I think you’ll find that we’ve already invested in that department , can’t argue with the Flower/Clubb comment though. For me both should have been moved on.
