Henderson will do fine for Prescott and Flower been out ages anyway. No drama.

No panic at all. Lima, Mossop, Lauaki, Dudson will be fine, with plenty good youngsters in reserve.

Moose, Lima, Dudson, Hock, Hansen, Tuson, Farrel........4 on the field 3 on the bench and either Crosby or Lauaki as the last spot

Still happy with that

That's not good news with the run of games we've got. Prescott's been excellent this year and really makes a difference in attack. Unfortunately we just don't seem to be able to get Mossop and Prescott on the field and fully fit at the same time.

Having Flower out doesn't help in terms of back up either. Hopefully Lauaki will be fit to play. Mossop, Lima, Lauaki and Dudson/Crosby still offers strength although Lauaki and the two young props aren't a patch on Prescott.

Ready and fired up come return time. No issues with this. Id give Hansen a rest in certain games as well ready for the playoffs.

That won't be happening any time time soon with the run of games we've got coming up. Hudds, Saints (again), Catalans and Leeds all in the next four weeks, none at the DW either

Well another opportunity for Dudson to shine, he certainly didn't let anyone down last time. Get through this tough patch of games and then on the back of that hopefully Spencer and Crosby might get a game or two.

My only real concern is if Lauaki is missing this week. Their a big Huddersfield and I hate to see us tackle them with only three recognized props in the side. I only want to see the likes of Hock and Hansen at prop when we really do have no other choice.

no probs.....get those 4 games over then look at spelling one or two of the forwards against Widnes, Bradford, wakey and London....NOT wholesale changes as we did against Widnes earlier

Id rest a few in the lesser game of them 4. Im sure the Saints one will be more interesting if we do rest players lol

With Goulding back at centre you can throw Jack Hughes into that mix too. I like a lot of what i've seen of him so far

also Spencer?

Gutted for Prescott. He has just missed out on his chance to play his way into the England team. He has been getting better and better for us.

I like Flower but I see him as nothing but a squad player.

PRESSYS always injured, no worries from me,,, we"ll be fine

I have a feeling that Dudson may get a ban for a tackle in the U20's V HKR a couple of weeks ago.

lima and mossop can do long minute as shown last saturday, and spencer has looked useful in the past so im not overly worried.

didn't we have 2 props only from 35 minutes onwards........

Hope we get a chance to see Dudson again in the first team, really thought he would of got more opportunities in the first team although i suspect that SW doesnt want Wigan to burn out this season and its a massive positive that we have so many players who will be fresh when it comes September / October time.

On a side note i would not rule out the return of Fielden this season.

I'm a big fan of Dudson and Crosby so as much as this isn't good news it should throw up an opportunity for them in the coming weeks.

We have a run of tough fixtures coming up and we want to win as many of those as possible but the next game we 'need' to win is against Leeds in the cup semi in 8 weeks time. To have rested body's to come back for that will be no bad thing.

a pack of

8. Dudson 9. McIllorum 10. Mossop
11. Hansen 12. Hock
13. O'Loughlin

with a bench of 14. Lima 15. Lauaki 16. Tuson 17. Farrell

or you could also throw hughes on the bench and Spencer if needed.

Talking about Dudson what is with the drastic hair cut? He looks like a scary bouncer.

yes, but I don't think we could do that successfully against one of the top teams...

Saints pack is that weak were going to play with no props against them at Magic and just let Micky Mac handle the front row on his tod!

There's more aggression in a wet fart then Saints pack at the moment.

I reckon Hughes might be on the bench for Hudds just in case Daz pulls up lame gain, although to be honest I'm still not sure what his injury was in the first place

Yeah Hughes could be in for Lauaki if he fails a head test this week.

Made me laugh although a tad unkind.

definately unkind, to compare Micky Mac to a Stains pack.......he is twice the player than that
