I wonder what changes our head coach Shaun McRae will make for this quick return game at the JJB Stadium.

I fully expect to see Goulding in the starting line-up and at least a bench spot for Jeremy Smith.

But what other changes do you think MaCrae should make if any

I think fitzpatrick should be given a go this game in what position, not fullback, maybe No3 right centre and take littler off he was no good the last time we played wigan

I think Karl Fitzpatrick is still out injured at this time.

thornley then give him a go

just been talking to bomber in albert park smith will be in the 17 robbie paul got a knock having a couple of weeks from playing also willie talau got a knock on that bad arm and may not be fit for friday

I thought he cant play cause he's on loan

Think that's just in the cup. He wasn't allowed to play because he already played for you guys in the 4th round.

I've already said that I'd like to see Smith given a chance at stand off this week. Hopefully Stapo plays well because it seemed as though he still wasn't back to full fitness on Friday.

I don't know if there's anyone available out there on another loan but perhaps we could look to see if we can get hold of a natural winger. You could argue that we're playing 5 centres in the backs at the moment with a selection from Talau, Goulding, Henry, Littler, Turner and Wilshere (depending on what you see as his natural position, although I would consider him as a winger first and foremost).

Glad Goulding can play and look forward to seeing where his forms at.

I hate it when teams loan players out and then ban them from playing against themselves.................if your going to do that don't bother loaning them out in the first place!

Well said "NickyKiss"


By the way what in your opinion is Goulding's best position centre or wing

He was Cup Tied that is why he could not play Friday he played for Us against Barrow

He's meant to be a centre but i've thought for a while watching him at Wigan that he'll become a winger.

He doesn't seem to have the right sense to play at Centre because he seems to struggle on his decision making of when to pass and when to run.

Add into that the fact that he's a very good finisher and i think wing in the long term will be his position.

I hope Mcrae will mix it up a little perhaps give smith a chance this week as out style of play would change and wigan would have to adapt again.

last week was just a trial run for this friday.

I'd be interested to see how many fans we bring this friday because I didnt recognise half of them last week. I'd bring smith back and maybe put ratchford on the bench for an impact

Does anybody know why theres a 2 week break for us until we play Hull?

Game against Catalan postponed for the French - English massive international played same weekend and 8 players from Catalan are in the French Squad (somehow)

probabaly be down to about 500 ,a lot of fans last week made a day of it havin time of work thinking we might go to wembley , if we would of won i am sure we would of got 2000 , but last week was a great turn out and fans cannot afford it all the time ,and to take over half our home attendance needs appaulding , well done all those that travelled last week

smith in robbie paul out with a sore neck for friday's game vs wigan!!

if you could bring 500 it woul be a good turnout by you

two changes for wigan game talau and paul out smith and goulding back in

I would imagine quite a lot of fans bought tickets for the two Wigan games when they were on offer the other week.

Last week I believe Salford City Reds sold over 1,000 tickets for the cup game so I would imagine at least half of the fans will have taken up the cut price ones for this coming Friday.

I took up on this offer, but following the treatment I recieved in the ground and my enforced early exist I wont be heading to the JJB this friday or at any point in the future.
