Too true sadly.

Unless the Police decide that there's no case to answer I cannot believe that Hardaker will be selected for this game.
He can join Josh Charnley in producing some childish videos or worse.

I doubt Leeds will leave him out of the side for that long. The police rarely decide such things very quickly.

It might depend on what the club knows about the incident.

Depends if he is charged/admits it i would think should both happen the Club can then decide what action they take.

The sensible thing to do would be to come clean with the club. Even if he pleads guilty gooing to court will take ages, so I wouldn;t be unhappy if Leeds played him until then.

I still fail to understand how Hardaker could be seen as a future halfback BTW - Golding looks a lot more likey from what little I've seen of him.

Likewise.

With say Brent Webb, you could see how he had a passing game and understanding of angles that might lend itself to playing in the halves. I've seen none of that in Hardaker.

Golding's great strength at the moment is his elusiveness in broken field. Watching him play in the 19s he always looks likely to be able to make a defender miss when he's one on one. Whether he adds more to his game as he develops we'll have to wait and see, but in terms of athletic ability he's certainly got all the building blocks in place.

I agree. Also at 18 he has a lot more time to learn the position than Hardaker.

I can't see why you lot are arguing over Goldings performance or any other minor faults in your team.

Leeds by plenty in this and it could be over by half time. Wigan are poor at the moment and can't see us improving for this one.

Those arguing for Briscoe at FB should look up some videos of when Hull tried to use him there. It's BJB all over again - Briscoe's a great winger but can't cut it at full back.

Moon is looking good to play according to McDermott on YEP. Did say we have a few other concerns but didn't mention who.

Well the whole argument about who plays full-back may just have been rendered moot.

Both Hardaker and Minchella available for selection this weekend.

Thought I'd come out of retirement over the whole "Golding was 'cack'" thing. Apparently he offered nothing bringing the ball back either, although he only made 17m less than Penny who probably made that when he caught us napping and was also the 5th highest metre maker on the team! What the hell are you on WA? Yes, he was out of position for a couple of tries but he's 18 and will have never played a game at that pace before! Did you expect him to come out and be a superstar already?

Jeez!!

Anyway, I'm getting back in my box now. See thee in another year or so.

Looking forward to this one.

Perfect game for Wigan to look at to getting back on track. Usually high intensity and hatred between the teams. Will be won down the middle.

“Tommy Briscoe got a bang to his shoulder, Kylie Leuluai got a bang to his rib, Kev Sinfield has got some stuff in his hamstring, Rob Burrow has got a bit in his calf. There’s one or two bruises and bangs and pulls that we’ve got, but I am sure they’ll be right. We’ll give them a couple of days and see how they go.”

Well you took our pants down, something that Wigin couldn't manage. So I would expect you to give them the same treatment you gave us. Go get 'em!!

And Golding was significantly better than Escare for Catalans!

Ive got some stuff in my elbow and abit in my calf too

Yates for Leuluai only change from last week's squad.

Hardaker
Briscoe
Watkins
Moon
Hall
Sinfield
McGuire
Peacock
Aiton
Cuthbertson
Ablett
Ward
Delaney/JJB

Burrow
Singleton
Yates
Delaney/JJB

Golding to wing and Briscoe to centre if Moon out.

Hardaker/Golding isn't a argument worthwhile, but how the hell we don't have another half back option, i.e. Sutcliffe/Lilley, after last weeks performances, that certainly is.

Sutcliffe's in the 19.

My bad then. I thought you were quoting the 19.

Not a chance of playing though

he coach said the team is picked on form not reputuation as sutclffe was the stand out pre season player he will surely play on friday. won't he???

Can you imagine McDermott sitting down with the captain and saying you are dropped?
