wiganwarriors.com/news/2018-05-1 ... vs-hull-kr No Escare, assuming he's failed the concussion test as Josh Woods is in.

Guess we’ll go with four forwards on the bench. I’d probably go with Woods on there and Bateman in the centre with Sarginson and either Navarette or Joel Tomkins to miss out but I think we’ll see Navarette and Woods as 18/19th men.

I think Sarginson needs a run in the team to try to build some form. He’s been nowhere near where he needs to be in all honesty and he’ll not get there sat in the stands. If he can’t improve after a run of games then he needs to be replaced. Forsyth got 3 last night in reserves and had a very good game and Higginson has had some strong games too.
I feel for Forsyth. He was thrown in and did a reasonable job is very tough circumstances. He had very little experience around him last season when he had his 1st team game time and given how poor Sarginson has been, I’d like to see Forsyth given a chance in a strong side.

Assuming we go for a full strength side, this will be a good sense of how Wane rates Navarette. Been starting and improving in recent weeks, but still not really convinced that he's really trusted in knock out rugby just yet.

I did wonder why Woods didn’t play for the reserves yesterday.

We've got 11 out a couple of academy lads named in the squad should be a fairly straight forward win for you

Given the lack of numbers Hull KR have I’d give Wood’s the full 80 at Scrum half with Powell/TL rotating hooker.

We also have 11 academy lads.

Williams out with wrist injury, Josh Woods gets a start.

Struggling with an injury hit hull kr team, we playing awful at the minute but fair play to Kr they taking the game to us 10-10 now

Made hard work of that but in the hat 10-28 FT

Wire away in the draw. Shock.

About time we had a tough cup draw,

Easy route to Wembley last year

Lost to KR at “home” in 2015

Lost to cas at home in 2014

Beat Widnes, London, Hull to win the final.


Great tie, bring it on!

I bagged the team hugely at Widnes in our last away game for how scrappy it was and we were our own worst enemies in making it that way but today the blame was firmly at the door of the ref. The HKR fans did a job on him first five mins and he wilted. To be in the draw is all we could hope for in that sort of atmosphere and with a ref as weak as that.

As for the draw, it’s good for us. You won’t see players at 50% like we’ve seen in lesser games recently and regardless of the outcome, it’ll be far more enjoyable then some of the recent games. We’ll need to be good but so will Warrington.

Next week sets it up nicely.

Agreed. A frustrating and at times baffling performance from the ref today. Not sure how just before the break Bateman got a yellow, Tickle got a red but the penalty went to Hull KR. The ref ruined the game as neither team could get any flow to the game. Credit to KR as their injury hit team played well and the game was only safe for us right at the end. Glad to be in the next round.

The quarter final should be a great game as games between us and Warrington usually are, the players will both be going full tilt at it particularly as one team is likely to have a recent defeat to avenge as well. I think Leeds will be happiest with the draw though with two of us, Wire, Saints and Hull set to go out while they play Leigh.
