Walker; Briscoe Broadbent Sutcliffe Handley; Austin Sezer; Tetevano Leeming Prior; Mellor Gannon; Smith.

Oledzki Donaldson Thompson O’Connor / Sinfield.

At worst, that’s Fustitua, Bentley, Dwyer, Myler, Holroyd, Walters, Mustapha, Newman & Martin out.

Yet this time last week Agar was saying how fit and healthy everyone was.

A weeks a long time in RL

Still think the squad looks decent, could really do with Newman being fit but worse thing we could do is play him with an injury

Now 11 days so misses Catalans as well

Corey Johnson starts for the Bulls tonight and in the halves so doubt he would be recalled to play on Friday.

At 11 days, he should be available for Catalans...

I have heard that he has been replaced in the Bulls squad tonight?
Perhaps on the bench for Leeds on Friday IF true?

Yep, Johnson recalled by Leeds

Just been confirmed by Premier Sports he’s been recalled.

Corey will be Dwyers replacement on Friday then
I can't wait to see this kid play regularly in SL for us as a 9

Great news.
Hope he's straight in the 17.

I'd guess Leeming will get 70 mins

He's been withdrawn from the Bulls side 45 minutes before kick off so we must have recalled him. Bulls fans won't be happy!

Was superb against Warrington IMO

Walker, Briscoe, Broadbent/Newman, Sutcliffe, Handley, Austin, Sezer, Oledzki, Leeming, Prior, Mellor, Gannon, Tetevano.

Smith Donaldson Thompson Johnson

That sides good enough to get the win against Wigan

I think that could be the 17. Smith might be a starter though. Looks a decent team. Wigan look much improved this year though, even allowing for HKR been poor on the day.

Im not sure Wigan looked much improved really. Most of the tries came from kicks. They are a very well organised defensive team, 2nd only to Saints IMO.

We will struggle to break them down. At full strength we are a better team than Wigan but we will never be at full strength.

Be interesting to see Austin partner Sezer to see how improved our attack is but we lack cutting edge and pace. Hopefully Newman plays.

Can see it being another low scoring game in Wigan. Even with several out we are capable of matching them. Its anyones game Friday i think.

Good luck with that one, let's see

Personally don’t think that sides anywhere good enough to get the win. Would be an even game at full strength. Wigan are much improved this year. Attitude wise more than anything…….

I’m not saying it’s guaranteed but that side is capable of winning, this is how Wigan lined up for round 1, they are not World beaters and will not win a trophy this year imo. It looks like it will be a wet and windy one Friday.

Jai Field, Liam Marshall, Kai Pearce-Paul, Iain Thornley, Jake Bibby, Cade Cust, Thomas Leuluai, Brad Singleton, Sam Powell, Kaide Ellis, Liam Farrell, John Bateman, Willie Isa.

Interchanges: Zak Hardaker, Patrick Mago, Morgan Smithies, Liam Byrne

They’ve got better players on the bench then we have in starting 13. Our back line looks woeful if Newman didn’t play ( don’t think he will….)

Wigan's threequarters lined up v HKR as - Thornley, Pearce-Paul, Bibby and Marshall. No saying about Friday's game due to nothing known about Thornley's injury.

Appealing the Bentley sanction. Difficult to see validity of the appeal!

Thornley out for 2 months, Peet saying Hardarker is likely to start on the wing.

agree our weakest bit 3/4 's would be good to see gannon and johnson in side
