Wigan squad, should be a cracker!

No point turning up then may aswell rest all the team.

Now that Bridgey is fit I'm unsure who our 6 & 7 should be.
Prior to GOB's recent performance's I would have said Bridgey & Ratch without a doubt, but now??????????

To miss out, but I think Roy could get a bench spot over Woody.
Richie Myler
Roy Asotasi

I will look forward to plenty of Wigan wrestling tactics at the PTB , short tens and strange decisions then .

I think Myler should make way for Bridge but I suspect it will be Gaz who is dropped. That's presuming Bridgey is fully fit.

Only Scott Taylor missing for us, definitely into play-off mode.
Just a shame it's on thurs, I reckon if it had been on fri another 20k crowd would have been guaranteed !

Yep, I was hoping for a cracker but will surely be a niggly affair with weak refereeing again

Don't think Myler will be dropped, will be no surprise to see Ratchford at loose again, this will allow Bridge to go to centre im only guesing at this but looks obvious with Grix and Westwood mising.

I think both Bridgey & Ratch are a good few kilos short of playing in the pack. I know they have both played there before but I would prefer to see them in the backs.

Agree with this,but i would be confident of placing a bet on Ratchford starting at loose, on another note hope Ben Evans gets a game.

I's go with......

Russell
R Evans
Atkins
Ratchford
J Monaghan
O'Brien
Myler
Harrison
M Monaghan
Hill
Laithwaite
Waterhouse
Currie

B Evans
England
Higham
Bridge

Wood & Atrocity to miss out.

In that case if we put Bridge at Centre, Ratch at 13, GOB & Richie at 6 & 7 , Woody to drop out with Big Roy

Think TS is trying to build up the Ratch and JMonas partnership so I think he'll start centre with Bridge and Myler/GOB in the halves. GOB would get the nod ahead of Myler for me.

If im reading this right you are starting Ratchford and Bridge at centre,if thats the case where is Atkins going.

That 17 is almost identicle to the 1st half v Leeds cc!!

Big Roy

Note, we shouldn't make the same mistake as not to have a back on the bench v dirty pies again!!

The wording wasn't great, apologies. What I meant was Ratch at Centre, Bridge at halfback and either GOB or Myler in the other halfback position.

We should be keeping our best players out of harm's way for this one. Wane will ensure a few of our players' seasons are finished here with a view to the playoffs. I'm just surprised Thaler didnt get the gig as he's usually happy to let them get on with it.

As I typed I thought it was, except Ben Evans. Also was Woody playing that day?

Well Woody was there.
I can't understand it, he was our best forward last season imo but this year way off...its fortunate for him Big Roy has been here otherwise he'd fronting the flak.

I was expecting so much from him this year. If fact last season was arguably his best since his GB selection a decade or more ago.
