Not sure how that would affect the preparation of Wigan though, he is too much of a wild card. Unpredictable in attack but vulnerable defensively especially in the red zone.

If that is then case I would be putting George King in the last bench spot, dropping Rhys Evans and playing Toby King at centre in his place.

Thats never gonna happen, he aint dropping rhys for toby.

I know he won't, it's still what I would do though.

We need attacking options on the bench in case we are chasing the game and Toby has been brilliant recently. He definitely shouldn't miss out. If sandow is fit then my second option would be to leave Dwyer out and put both kings on the bench. Toby covers more options and he has come up with some key plays off the bench, plus Clark can do 80 mins if necessary. Sandow allows us to shuffle the pivots and would definitely lift us coming off the bench, but only if he is fit.

I wish, it was on that scrolling thing at the bottom of the screen?

I know yeah, how strange that I, a Wigan fan, was more bothered about contingencies to ensure a Wigan victory, rather than a Warrington one.

If you get bullied by a team missing five first choice forwards you will deserve to lose

Hypocrisy at its finest grim.

Tell me exactly why ben flower is well known?

Which 5 forwards are they...
Ben Currie
Ben Westwood
James Laithwaite
Mitchell Dodds
Ben Harrison

Hardly. You've managed to bully teams with no forwards all year and made it to a final. There are no teams how deserve to loose. The best two teams in the whole regular season are playing each other in a final after playing the second top two teams in a semi final.

I'm sorry but the card your trying you play there is obsolete.

Admittedly I don't know your side as well as you do, but to my understanding Laithwaite is going playing League 1 next season and you have loaned Harrison out to Wakefield, I seriously doubt they would be in your ideal 17. The forwards I referred to are:

Mossop (would start at prop)
McIlorum (would start at hooker)
O'Loughlin (would start at loose)
J.Tomkins (would come off the bench at second row)
Clubb (would come off the bench at prop)

These must be the famous Wigan injuries referred to by every tv & radio presenter worth his/her salt.

I think Laithwaite is going to Canada playing Grimmy, along with Wheeler.

Laithwaite was a first team regular so yes he would have. Harrison also. two players who have career threatening injuries. one recovered and one still in the process. They'd have a place on the bench at full fitness but no coach in their right mind would name them in the final 4 games on the season when match fitness is key.

That's like McIllorum declaring he's fit and fat head throwing him in. it wouldn't happen. If he plays Sean O'Sicknote then that's a huge gamble at the expense of a filly fit lad with match fitness ready to go missing out.

Il be watching my pulse on Saturday about 7.30pm!!!

In League 1, no? I'm sure if he was good enough to warrant a decent offer and make the starting 17 every week for Warrington, or any other top SL team, he wouldn't be going playing League 1.

There are plenty of players who go to Australia to play in a lower league. Why? the lifestyle. These are young lads after all. they want to see the world

If you offered me the choice of Wakefield or Living in Canada. I'd choose Canada every time. They're being bankrolled by a millionaire and the local government. He won't be on a naff wage that's for sure.

I think he'll play.

Make that 8pm... video Ref...

Word on the street from a source is Patton will be in the starting 13.

Reports now circulating that O'Loughlin is set to play despite not being named in the Wigan 19 man squad.

What are the rules now about players not being named in the squad yet making the 17?

The Squad Declaration rules are silent on replacements after the 48 hour deadline but people here believe that if a player becomes unavailable it is at the discretion of the RFL www.totalrl.com/forums/index.php ... pic=282204

I remember about a decade ago, Pies blatantly spending over the salary cap to buy Fielden to play against us, in an attempt to cheat their way out of relegation.
As I recall Feilden was sat in the dressing room in his kit, waiting for the RFL to approve his registration to play against us.
Wasn't he ruled a Wigan player about 20mins before kick off? Now either the listing of the team sheet wasn't mandatory back then or the whole system is a farce and you technically can do as you please....or perhaps you can't do as you please unless your Wigan, who always seem to have a different set of margins to everyone else.

Obi wane kenobi. I didn't have him down for mind games. I hope he does play. Run at him all day and he will be blowing out of his trumper within 10 mins.

He'll be trying to twist Ratchford's ankle through 240• degrees

I will be very amused to see Bailey dancing around celebrating with another ring at the end
