About as sensible as your suggestion.

I say we take everyone by surprise.

Rather than drop 2, leaving 17 - Drop 17, leaving 2.

If the 2 remaining were any of Sam, Pat, Finch and Tommy, I'd still give us a reasonalbe shout.

i'm trying to figure out if people are over confident or just taking the pish!

Mate. My only ever trip to Wembley with Wigan was in 1998.

Seriously, no over-confidence here.

A bit of a -take, definitely.

really?......Goulding had a good game there last week. Unlike your childish response mine had reason.

A guy who has played 1 decent game against bad opposition or the guy who has played there the entire season. Lets change the whole team around just for that.

Or play the team we've played all year.

you on about Hock or Goulding?

No overconfidence from me. We've played Leeds twice this season, won 1 by 2 points, drew the other and I thought we had the rub of the green in both.

Goulding & Hock to miss out for me.

Goulding.

Whats Hock got to do with this?

hes played a good game against poor opposition too, keep up....

I think that's what Madge will choose.

I can't make up my mind whether I would play Hock or Farrell. Atm I am thinking 51% Farrell as his defence is better, but is Hock the better big game player with more experience?

I think he'll go for Faz because Hock still isn't sharp enough at A and B in the line and Buderus will punish us for that.

If we're strong around the PTB in defence, win the collision and the floor and push up fast around the ruck, we'll strangle them. Every good thing they do comes from Buderus breaking from acting half.

I would play Hock and Prescott, drop Goulding and Farrell. Hock has the X factor.

Bringing Hock into the side does mean switching round half the team from what it's been the entire season.

The 19 players have been told who the 17 players are who will play in the final.

I would think so too! They will have known for the majority of the week.

Have a look at the video from the Saracens training session, it is probably a clue. viewtopic.php?f=28&t=505962

Can you spell it out for those of us on iPhones with no ability to watch flash videos please?

It shows the entire Wigan squad out on the training park going through training moves, apart from Prescott who I can't see. Both Farrel and Hock are present. Perhaps Prescott has suffered a setback?

I had a limited view from the south stand but Prescott was in deep conversation with somebody when he went off against Bradford about 10mins from time. He stood on the touchline for a minute or so and seemed to be pointing at his leg so it wouldn't surprise me if he's not quite right.

Hope he is mind.
