Warning:
The PM really isn't worth asking for.

Mind games then?

Send it to us anyway pal

I'm in my phone and such a task is as lengthy as your list of wins against my football team.


Give me 5 minutes to navigate my way to the full site

As if we concern ourselves with lower league tosh




Really not worth the wait. Sam will be at full back folks.

This is not what you want to read about at 8am.

From my sources within the club, nothing to worry about.
Tomkins WILL play tonight.

Can someone forward me the PM pls, never got it first time round. Not expecting much from it like!

Not sure the local labour club counts

Don't see why it has to be a PM. I got one forwarded to me and it's just that Jack Murphys brother is meant to have told somebody Tomkins is injured and Murphy starts tonight.

Sounds a bit fishy....I hope.

Hope I don't get the police knocking on my door for posting this

Being totally honest, would you's expect Tomkins to start tonight? Does this rumour look like it has any legs?

From what i have now heard, there was some truth in the rumour. But now quite sure Sam will play tonight.

Been told Sam is definitely out tonight, and if we get through it’s on the cards he won’t play in the final. For once I hope it’s wrong and I’ve had my back peed on. Come on Wigan!

He "apparently" has a knee injury.

I dont think thats right but we'll have to wait and see. Not long to wait now though

He came off against Catalan with a slight knock to the knee, if I remember.

Hare & hounds is usually spot on with Wigan info.

Both sides missing a key attacking player evens it up abit but Wigan still huge favs.

You’re right, but now I’ve heard it’s a four week job. Sometimes someone at the club can put out a so called leak to wrong foot the opposition, it’s been done loads of times. Let’s just hope it one of them.

I work at the hospital where the wigan, saints and wire players go and i can confirm i did see tomkins come in for an mri scan he didnt seem pleased when they left, so im guessing the 2-4 weeks out is near correct.

Wigan have more than 1 standout player the team is full of them so even without sam i would expect them to make the final.

Richards to FB, Thornley on the wing then? Not too disappointed with that if it happens

Not selected in the 19 is he? I'd expect to see Jack Murphy at FB, it'd be a big risk mind

Ah but if a player is only found to be injured once the 19 is selected a player can be swapped for that player.

Yeah, forgot about that. Thornley on the wing would be the best option then

too big of a risk i'd say

Richards has played many games at FB and is always dependable, albeit our attack would suffer somewhat I feel as he's not the quickest these days, i'd hope to see Thornley brought in and put on the wing

Murphy must have been included in the squad for a reason so if Tomkins is out then surely it's Murphy who will take his place. It's just common sense. If a fullback is injured, replace him with a fullback. He's already going to be familiar with the set plays, Richards probably isn't. There would be no attacking threat with Richards at fullback and we need to be strong in attack.
