Matt Peet confirmed that Wigan came away with just one injury from the victory over Hull KR as Brad O’Neill is named in the 21-man squad in place of the injured Iain Thornley. The rest of Peet’s squad stays unchanged from the one named to travel to Hull KR in round one.

Think the only question is who comes on the bench?

O’Neill, Shorrocks, Smith, Partington or even Miski (we had a back on the bench last week)

No idea how Peet with go.

I’d go Brad O’Neill or Harry Smith I think but I’d think Shorrocks might be favourite.

Same again bar that last bench spot.

Not sure on the logic in picking Shorrocks. There is a hooker who is better than Shorrocks and forwards that are better.

I'd like to see Miski Hardaker Bibby Marshall with O'Neil K P-P on the bench, plenty of options there

Has anyone checked if the Yorkshire Evening Post are ok with the ref choice?

Personally I’d go for a forward orientated bench again. Smithies, Mago, Byrne and O’Neill would be my choices. If we’re to beat Leeds we need to beat their pack giving Sezer/Austin no room to play. Going with a back in the bench would be a wrong choice IMO. It’s going to be a tough, grind it out victory for either team and it’s going to be won and lost in the middle of the park.

Move KPP to the bench and put Miski and Hardaker as Winger and Centre. Same team after that for me.

Not seen that but they’ve done an article simply to list the absentees for Leeds.

It starts

Richie Myler-Fullback

And ends

Margaret Smith-Tea Lady

Just need to stop them from scoring barge over tries or from kicks, it's the only way they can score.

What are you basing that on?

Also if were judging by our last two games against you, you guys can't score by any means





Im only joking by the way, looking forward to coming over for this one, I think the teams are pretty evenly matched.

Weather is looking to be an issue, Ive got a feeling it could get postponed to be honest!

Why would it be postponed?

The BBC weather app suggests it should be ok round here after this evening. A bit wet and windy but nothing that looks like the game would get pulled.

It’s a good job it’s not at Headingley or else we could’ve been in trouble. It looks wild on Friday with 65mph winds and possible snow/sleet showers.

Fair play to any Leeds fans that do come over.

Depends how bad the storm is a couple of years ago our game against Huddersfield away got cancelled due to a storm.

Im sure it will be fine, well not fine but OK to be played

Haha was just hoping for a cross-forum bite and got one pretty quickly



Hope you all have a safe journey over, looks like it's going to be a windy one

2nd storm due in. 70-100mph winds throughout Friday.

20mph tops by kick off. Unless the stadium blows down before that we'll be fine.

The BBC app seems to suggest we might miss the worst of this second one with wins around 20-25mph.

It’s a good job we’re not in Hull this week! Winds Forecast to be at 75mph come kick off time. Imagine Sam Wood under those high kicks



Thankfully for the league there’s only our game on Friday night.

Snow forecast for Yorkshire tomorrow according to the weather forecast would cause a problem for visiting fans and the the Leeds team coach.

Just been on news storm forecast for tomorrow could be upgraded to a red warning it means that there could be a danger to life and not to travel.I will be very surprised if tomorrows game goes ahead.

If it wasn't on TV then moving it to Saturday or Sunday would seem the best solution. The main problem will be the Leeds team travelling over as it seems like Yorkshire will be harder hit.

Can they not just come over earlier? It's not like there's not time to organise a hotel or anything.

Upgraded to red for South Wales and the South West. Looking like we'll miss the worst of it.

Not seeing any forecasts for snow. Just wind and rain.

Unless Leeds don't fancy travelling (maybe that's only to France) then we'll be fine, stop worrying.
