Might as well get the team threads going now we finally have a game coming up! Who would you select? Any injury news? How many subs are these friendlies meant to have? Here's my pick, I'll guess at seven subs because that's the number I have in my head for some reason:

FB 1 Sam
RW 2 Goulding
RC 3 Gleeson
LC 26 Pryce
LW 19 Roberts
SO 17 Finch
SH 19 Deacon
P 8 Fielden
H 7 Leuluai
P 10 Coley
SR 22 Farrell
SR 12 Joel
LF 13 O'Loughlin

S 4 Carmont
S 9 McIllorum
S 11 Hansen
S 14 Prescott
S 15 Lima
S 16 Hoffman
S 21 Mossop

- Starting Pryce because I'd like to see him get a full 80 to prove his worth, he needs a big season or he'll likely be gone at the end of the year. Plus Carmont and Gleeson have gone round the block that many times I'm sure 40 minutes of a friendly will be plenty for them.
- Starting Finch because I'd like him to get a full 80 as well so that he can settle into the side and hit super league with a bit of form, hopefully he will start to form a partnership with Deacon and Leuluai.

I'd imagine it'd be mostly u20s for this game. Mix of 20s & senior players for the barrow game and mostly first teamers against Warrington. I wouldn't expect anybody who played in the Four Nations to play either.

The Barrow game will be mainly U20's as Maguire states here.

No no no, it'll be pretty much a first choice line up on Sunday, with plenty of young subs. The four nations players will take part.

should be a good game if salford put out all their new signings

70% this game and then 95% against Wire.

with player or two won't be at wire you reckon?

Richards.

www.wigantoday.net/sport/wigan-w ... _1_2919270 Well looking at the article above I'm guessing the team will be something along the lines of: Amos Marsh Pryce Charnley Goulding Deacon Mellor Coley McIlorum Lima Tuson Hoffman Farrel Mossop Prescott Davies Hansen

Anyone who isn't 100% I presume

Davies Broke his jaw in training so he wont be playing, i'd guess:

Amos
Pryce
Charnley
Marsh
Goulding
Deacon
Leuluai
Mossop
McIlorum
Lima
Hoffman
Tuson
Farrell

Coley
Mellor
O'Carroll
Hansen

How long will that put him out for?

Depends on what type of fracture and whether upper or lower.

6 -12 weeks usually.

It sounds as though the training has been full on contact.

I'll edit my picks with the injuries in mind:

FB 19 Roberts
RW 2 Goulding
RC 26 Pryce
LC 4 Carmont
LW 25 Charnley
SO Powell
SH 6 Deacon
P 8 Fielden
H 7 Leuluai
P 10 Coley
SR 11 Hansen
SR 12 Joel
LF 13 O'Loughlin

S 9 McIllorum
S 14 Prescott
S 15 Lima
S 16 Hoffman
S 21 Mossop
S 22 Farrell
S 24 Marsh

The article says Tuson will get a run but I don't see how, there's already a full pack on the bench for the team above and I don't think he's higher in the pecking order than any of those forwards, unless O'Loughlin plays stand off to make room

Real shame that. I had visions of him pushing O'Carrol aside and moving up the pecking order this year, saying that it may still happen.

Big year this for Eamon, he's been plagued with injury's in his career so far. So he needs to get some game's under his belt to show the club he's worth keeping beyond 2011.

www.wiganwarriors.com/WContent.a ... &type=news Looks like AMos will be at FB, i'd go for: Amos Pryce Charnely/Marsh Gleeson/Carmont Goulding Sam Finch Coley MM Fielden Joel HH Lockers Looks like there will be a 20 man squad so i guess 7 subs Tommy Deacs Lima Hoffman Mossop Prescott Farrell All players need a game at this point so i don't see why we wouldn't be close to full strength. Also there is now an extra U20's friendly so i'd assume most of that age would get a run out then.

Sam, Gleeson and Finch are all out injured.

Do we know how serious?

gleason about 2 weeks (calf)
sam is almost fit will be right for start of season
Finchy, looks like he might need an operation , not looking good at all for start of season

Salford Squad as published in yesterdays League Express
I guess they will start 1-13 , then will start to interchange to give everybody game time

Cheers, my heart was in my mouth for a while.
