Order the rings!

Wigan Warriors 19 Man Squad

Amos Roberts, Martin Gleeson, George Carmont, Pat Richards, Sam Tomkins, Thomas Leuluai, Stuart Fielden, Mark Riddell, Andy Coley, Harrison Hansen, Joel Tomkins, Sean O'Loughlin, Paul Prescott, Michael McIlorum, Iafeta Paleaaesina, Paul Deacon, Darrell Goulding, Liam Farrell, Chris Tuson.

Smith and Ambler to miss out?

Still lots of options.

Webb or Sinfield at stand-off?
Senior in the centre or back-row?
Donald or Smith? (assuming Webb is at full-back)
Is there a place for Clarkson or Ambler?

Same as the Wigan game apart from:

Sinfield to 6
Ablett to 13
JJB make numbers up to 17

I think we'll stick to tried and tested, with least disruption,which means JJB in for McGuire and Sinfield at 6.

Chance of Smith in for donald too

Maybe Webb to 6.
Smith to FB
Kirke and Ambler to miss out.
However I think he will go with Sinny to 6
If JJB is fit Ambler and Smith/Donald to miss out.

Webb and Sinfield to miss out.

We need to go big in this game. Ablett at 6, JJB at 13 and Smith at FB.

What has Scott Donald done to warrant being dropped?

Donald vs Smith

Whos the better finisher?
Who is better in the Air?

Both as good as each other imo. Donald did very well in the Wigan game with his kick returns, for that reason I'd keep donald.

Wouldn't it be nice if he dropped the donkey and the kart-horse from the 17 and put Smith and Ambler on the bench in their place.

clue = first letter of each nomenclature for their official better known identities.

It would be nice if Bluey chose the 17 he thinks will do the best job. That would be pretty good I think.

I have said all along I would prefer Webb at 6, and bring Smith back in.

I don't think he is going to go that way, so Smith has to miss out. The last two games Donald has performed well enough to warrant keeping his place.

I also said after the Wigan game that had Bailey not gone off, I don't think we would have won the game or even come back in it. I think him going off forced us into a style of play that was impressive and too good for Wigan. For that reason I really hope Bailey is one of the players rumoured to be touch and go to be playing. I would not have brought him back, and think Ambler would suit the game better than Bailey for this match.

Yep i think this is the way we will go.

Surely the build up to this game has been tailor-made for TMFMISL

yeah right ! Smith ...big ???

Funniest suggestion yet this year.....apart from Smith at SO of course.. ( oops.... that was me ).

Think we should get Ablett to kick goals as well just for the laugh....he could practice on Sam plonker Tomkins' head. ..Just follow brother Joel's kicking style of course.

And I thought my joke was good...Smith at 6



In all seriousness Sinfield is nailed on to play 6. Its a tosh up between Ablett and Clarkson for 13.

You are kidding right? It's the complete oppossite. Bailey is targeted by refs as it is, if people don't think that Silverwood will be going into that game with an agenda to watch the slightest indiscretion then they are kidding themselves. Bailey would be a walking liability for us.

Are you confusing "professional Super League ref" with "RLFans morons"?

Bailey is not the most penalised man in our squad, let alone Super League

Abso - bludd y - lutely. He is too astute to be caught by any ageing ref who will, besides, be too busy looking out for Senior.

No arguments there surely ?

And I never said he was either. Perhaps you are slightly confused looking for something that is not there.

I said Bailey is targetted, that is different to been constantly penalised. The slightest indiscretion from Bailey ends up in a penalty, for which in many cases other players would not get penalised for.

You already highlighted yourself above how you think this match might go. So think it through why it might be a problem.

I would imagine it might go like the Hull game recently, where TMFMISL managed to get us a penalty and a man advantage which may or may not have been decisive.

I don't think the refs target him, although if you do have examples of this happening I'm happy to be proved wrong

For the sake of full disclosure, i agree Leeds looked a different team once he had left the field against the Pies last week and I would still be confident of turning them over whether he makes the squad or not

WHAT?!



1, Your willing to play Ablett out of position to swap a natural centre (and you don't even know which one) to second row?

2, Your bench is $h!7. Where is Diskin?

3, Ambler won't play.

Mm m m ....

1. Ablett is a better centre than one of your "natural" centres. The genuine natural centre did good in second row at Hull. You're right.....too indecisive. Let's have both your "natural" centres in second row. Job's a good un.

2. You're ! And so is Diskin.

3. Maybe Amber won't play....but I thought idea of this was to suggest and promote our own thoughts / ideas..... Not just second guess our glorious, testicular challenged, over emotionally charged coach..... which to be honest is rather easy and pathetic.
