I think when Bill the Conqueror came over his family may have inherited some baronetcies near Donny, but I don't think there is any real connection unless that' where he got the butler from....

Cummins has stated in the T & A today that Langley, Walker, Kearney and Roberts could be back in the squad. Sammut and Olbison will be missing for another week. What injury has Sammut sustained?

I was wondering the same, I thought he only had a dead leg, hopeful of playing the week after he sustained it. Now 4 weeks later, he's still not right. Shame, we need him out there.

Not sure if I would prefer to keep Foster at FB (thought he did okay on Sunday), and move Kearney into the middle to partner Gale. If Kearney's injury was to do with his shoulder, FC might be more inclined to play hum FB to reduce his exposure to oncoming players.

Langley back would be a bonus!

Quite simply they were the first team I ever got taken to watch. A few of us ended up going home & away for years. I do have a very strong association with Donny as a club however.

I take it you haven't been to Cas?

Sammut's had an ankle problem that was causing him to wear a space boot and only train sparingly until he got that dead leg. Dunno whether he's shaken off either injury but one is keeping him out.

I see,so your not just a glory supporter then,at first I thought you was

Actually went to see the new bridge after the last match - which is quite impressive - just not sure about the bits at either end.

However I have to admit in recent years it has become increasingly difficult to find a place worse than Bradford, even Wath on Dearne has overtaken us on the quality of life table, and we have dropped below Kabul for safe city centre shopping.

Still no Kearney and Langley, bummer!

Wigan squad:

Josh Charnley, Dom Crosby, Gil Dudson, Liam Farrell, Ben Flower, Anthony Gelling, Darrell Goulding, Blake Green, Ryan Hampshire, Harrison Hansen, Jack Hughes, Epalahame Lauaki, Michael McIlorum, Andy Powell, Sam Powell, Pat Richards, Matty Smith, Logan Tomkins, Chris Tuson

Tbh id rather the players who missed the Wire game are rested again this week, then a week off next week should give enough time for full recover going into our last more vital 6 games of the season,

I know last season we wnet to the DW and won an extraordinary game, but i just think they will be too strong on Friday night

No-one would follow Cas for the glory.

It'd be like going to Paul Wellens for sprinting advice.

This.

I'm sure we will have more rending of clothes and tearing of hair on here if we "lose yet again" but these never were the games to concentrate on.

Maybe so, but I no longer think we have the luxury of picking which games we expect to win. If we want to move up the table, we have to get a shock result or two. This includes going to Wigan and trying to come away with a result. The Widness and HKR losses were the games we should have been concentrating on, we need to claw the points back some how.

For the record, i'm not expecting a win, but it would be nice!!

Realistically, we do. Or rather, I wouldn't call it a "luxury" but common sense.



... "if"?




No, my spreadsheet clearly shows that we don't.


Hang on, nobody is suggesting we aren't going to try, I have no doubt that the 17 on the field will do just that.


No, no point in looking back, and anyay we can't claw back anything, what's gone is gorn.


Pah! [iOf bloody course [/iwe'll beat 'em!!

Spot on. Realistically i'd say only the London games is the one we SHOULD win. Cas away and Wakey away are two tough fixtures. Catalans is a must win IMO. We still need another two wins so we will have to beat one of the big boys. Selecting our games hasn't worked so far this season. As you said look what happened against KR & Widnes.

The teams around us like Widnes, Wakey Cas & KR aren't thinking "well Wigan are top of the table, lets concentrate on playing well against teams we should win" They've gone out and beaten the top teams. Thats exactly what we need do. Unfortunately i can't see anything other than a hammering on Friday which leaves the near impossible task of around 5 victories from 6.

No addy. So Gale and heath in halfs I'm guessing. And obrien is playing as well

Sam Tomkins is not playing so you should win.
Wigan keep saying they cannot win without sam so one in the bag for you !

Ha ha, so we'd all like to think - even you, methinks!!

I cant make it on friday due to work, but if they win i will never attend a game again as when im not there they seem to win more often.

Fair play to Gale for sticking his hand up to play, but if FC thinks his mind may be elsewhere he might be tempted to give him a bit more time.

Gutted I can't make it, but I'll listen on the radio so well probably win!

Probably the best thing Galey could have done, to be honest. The less time you spend contemplating things you have absolutely no control over the better, imo. For sure, there is a grieving process but the sooner you get back on the merry-go-round of life the better it is for those left behind. The banter of the workplace can be a wonderful tonic sometimes with sympathetic colleagues.

No Lulia due to his son being born, so Sam Wood is drafted in.
Another week, another SL debut!
