And considering who made it there have been a few contenders.

(That's a joke Padders, I love you really)

It's not rocket science to work out I don't rate Bridge ! He has had one good season at Wire but hasn't impressed me since I had started to warm to him but sadly he didn't kick on and reverted back to his poor distribution and defence ! So imo he's ok as backup for Ratchford but needs a lot of work to take the position back and make it his own again ! He will get his chances when Hodgson has his rests through the season and Ratchford reverts to fullback and I hope he plays well and forges his way back into the first choice Squad !

I'm a believer in Chris Bridge, f*cking hallelujah. Bad season last time out but will hopefully return to form and fitness this year.

My team would be
Brett
Riley
Atkins
Evans
Moans j
Briers
Myler
Hill
Moans m
CARVELL
Westwood
Coops
Harrison

Ratch to come on at ht to replace Brett and GOB to replace briers

I'm just pleased to be watching the Wire again, the inclusion of pretty much all of the 1st team is a bonus.

how does anybody know that Chris Bridge is not a first choice centre for us when fit?

I don't recall Tony Smith coming out and saying that he is now only a back up?

I think it is obviuos that we have got a very strong depth to our squad but I would certainly not write off Chris Bridge just yet.

No Sam Tomkins for them according to their board.

Wigan Warriors Squad;

Jack Murphy, Josh Charnley, Darrell Goulding, Jack Hughes, Pat Richards, Blake Green, Matty Smith, Lee Mossop, Logan Tomkins, Paul Prescott, Liam Farrell, Anthony Gelling, Ben Flower, Gil Dudson, Epalahame Lauaki, Michael McIlorum, Greg Burke, Iain Thornley, Scott Taylor, Dom Crosby, Sam Powell, Tom Spencer, Lewis Tierney.

Wane said a week ago there would be no Tomkins. They need him fit for as much of the season as possible, else they'll be nowhere this year.

Whilst I'm a little worried we haven't signed anyone for this year, and our star men are all a year older , I take great heart that both out main rivals are seriously reliant on one 'star man'.

as we can all see its snowing and looking at the forcast its here till around 4/5am in morning so isnt looking good for the game

How much are the ticket prices?

If it's priced like Jon Wilkin's I will be giving it a miss...

£13

Is that Adult?

What is it for kids, oap's etc

This isn't Ask Jeeves. Go and look on either the Wigan or Warrington's websites.

I'm praying that this snow goes away. I was at the club shop today so had a little peek at the pitch whilst in the area. The pitch markings have been marked out in blue and there was still snow on the pitch. Bennie deserves the day and for the weather to spoil it, would be a massive shame.

Omg its just snow. Why should it be called off? I thought we were meant to be one of the hardest games in the world, played by 'real men'. See the state of Salford last season? And Hull FC until about an hour or so before we got there.

Even if the ground was frozen would it make much difference? Probably safer than the Chemics 'Ipitch' to be fair.

It's the surrounding areas around the ground that could be th problem. Fingers crossed it rains tonight and washes it away. (Never thought I would ever wish snow to go away).

I want the snow but It can be cleared. Hull FC managed to do it when we played em first game last season and that was far worse than what we have now. I know it's only a friendly but its not just any friendly is it? It's a testimonial game and should be treated as a special event. after all the graft he's put in over the decade anyway.

Couldn't agree more regarding the game being treated as a special event for a special player. I also want the game to be played in order to give us a chance to set a marker down to the rest of the competition. I just hope the people who make the decision if required have the sae feelings.

Poor distribution? I'd agree when he was at halfback but I'm guessing you didn't go the first two wembley trips if you think his distribution is poor.

Bridge played last season with an injury and hopefully when he plays this season we will see him as before. I remember him destroying Huddersfield away in the cup a few years ago. He was fantastic that day to name but one game. Another side of his game I like is that he's not scared of a bit of biff. I always think, if you wouldn't say something to a persons face, then don't post it on the Internet. Simples.

Admittedly I'm in Leeds (where it can REALLY snow), so don't know how bad it is 'back home', but surely snow wouldn't lead the game being off?! Frozen pitch maybe, but snow usually means it's quite that cold. And as for all this 'surrounding area' lark, I never understand games being off for that. Chuck a bit of grit down, clear a path, and if anyone falls over, then they can expect to get ripped for it. People need to man up-all this 'snow day' tosh...

My son has had to abandon his car about 1 mile outside Billinge and walk home. It's still snowing heavily.

Hopefully things are better in Warrington. However if it freezes on top of the snow it could cause major problems. The injury lawyers will be wringing their hands.

Bloody hell. I've really been looking forward to this an all :/

Shovel at the ready to be deployed of required. Lets mobilise the Warrington Wolves Quick Reaction Force to assist in clearing the snow.
