Quote ="Guerrier"Come on now, it's not simply losing just ''a few players'' is it?
Of the unavailable group of Tomkins x2, Richards, Fielden, Gleeson, Deacon, O'Carroll -

Lets not be too silly about this.
- lima/prescott/coley are props if fielden and O'Carroll were fit Wigan would not play with 5 props
- if maguire opts to play with 1 hooker then deacon woud be out of the halves and not play
- getting players with the right values and attitudes is important the absence of Gleeson / Tomkins 1&2 has nothing to do with unfortunate injuries - it appears down to the choices of players.
So a couple of players would be competing for the same places and up to 3 bumped themselves.
The giants will have 3 form players definitely not playing - Patrick / McGilvray / Ferguson (all England Knights call ups) + there is Raleigh + whoever is not in our final 17 starting, such as Robbo. Yet we are not prattling on about who is missing.
