We all know we're really struggling for form and defending poorly. We know that quite a few of our 1st choice players are up for selection after long absences but does SW throw them in all at once and risk fatigue or reoccurring injury or does he drip feed them back a few at a time?

We could potentially line with Tomkins, Marshall Gelling Gildart Burgess Williams, Leuluai FPN McIlorum, O'Loughlin Farrell, Bateman, Tomkins with Tautai, Sutton Powell and Isa.

What would you do?

Throw them all in and go for it, it is just like the first game of the season when you thrown them all in.

Absolutely.

Totally agree and if all are fit, I go with the team in the O/P.

We're in need of a lift and I'm sure we'll see a different Wigan team and mindset on Saturday. I'm not sure I'd pick the lot but I'd certainly bring in Tomkins and Bateman because we're desperate for them. I never fancy Gelling coming back from injury anyway as he seems to take a while to get back in the swing of things so I'd be tempted to give him the extra week and go-

Tomkins
Davies Burgess Gildart Marshall
Williams Leuluai
Sutton Powell Isa
Farrell Tomkins Lockers

Tautai Nuuausala Bateman McIlorum

I've gone Isa at prop which is probably seen as a strange move but basically he'll be playing round the middle which I always feel is where he's at his best and I have zero trust in the defence of either Nuuausala or Tautai at the minute. We can't afford to be out of the game early with the likes of Clark and Russell targeting Nuuausala (or Tautai if he was to start)

I'd go

Tomkins
Burgess Gelling Gildart Marshall
Williams Powell
Sutton Mcilourm Navarette
Bateman Farrell O'Loughlin

Tautai Nuuausala Tomkins Ganson

Doubt we'll see that, dont think he'll drop Leuluai but imo he needs a wake up call, id put Nuuausala on bench, him and Tautai coming on in 25-30th minute would give us a big boost imo and put Macca to 13 when Lockers goes off but doubt he'll do that either

I wouldn't drop Ganson either because he was one of our best 3 players on Thursday and had played really well since he's come in but Wane has his favs di can't see that happening either

yes

We simply can't afford to drip feed them all back in as, arguably, every game from Saturday is a must win.

If they're fit they play, if not they don't; simple as that really.

I'd throw Tomkins and Bateman and Gelling on......










and if after half an hour its still nil - nil then bring the other ten on.....!!!















seriously we score 16 points a game on average.
as bad as you have been, it wont be a contest. we are a dreadful team low on depth low skill low on confidence low on desire.......

we have an appointment with an 80-nil defeat at Cas tomorrow......
lets see us get up for a game after that......

Navarette was a mess in defence on Thursday especially close to our line. The lad has potential but he's got so much work to do on his fitness. When the trainer came on to tell him he was being replaced, he seemed frustrated and as though he wanted to stay on but he could hardly move. We were sat right near it and I'm not sure I've seen a player look as shattered on a field before.

He's going to need a huge off season imo to get in the shape needed to kick on and reach his potential.

48-46 either way, let's face it, neither side can defend their line for toffee

I agree with Navarette,he makes some good carries which are obviously catching fans eyes but he had a shocker on Thursday defensively.

If that happens, you may have a new coach in by next week so who knows what effect that will have

He just took forever to trudge off the pitch! He was moving with all the enthusiasm of a man with an appointment with the hangman's noose!

The cup is our only chance of winning anything, so we might as well go for it next week.

Wire had No Brown or Gidley today, could be holding them back for what could be both teams last chance to for trophy this year.

Forget trophies. I'm worried about Warrington being relegated. You can have the cup as far as I'm concerned, if it means we survive the MPG. You can have Smith and Agar too - thankful for what they've done but no progress for five years and the threat of relation means a 'hard reset' is required.

Kevin Penny had a disaster today looking at the highlights. Shame he'll likely be dropped next week!

Cannot see a good attendence on the cards with everyone having to buy a ticket and both teams in such rancid form.

Hope the Wigan fans turn out and make it a good atmosphere! The return of Bateman and Tomkins could sell some tickets

If the absentees are now healthy play them, they won't get match fit sitting in the stands watching.

Sam and Bateman are going to play according to Wigan today. Barring any set backs this week. Should see a strong side out.

Chris Hill charged grade B shoulder charge. EGP available so probably not gonna play on Saturday.

From all accounts Hill has been poor this season so it's probably not that big of a loss for Wire,although personally i would rather see him in the stands.

Poor form or not Hill would be a huge loss. Much like I'm sure we'll be a different side on Saturday to the one we've seen in recent weeks, I'm sure they will be as well and Hill would've lead that imo.

I can't apologise for hoping he's banned because he's a fabulous player.
