Westerman will play for is if he doesn’t make the 17 for England, which as it stands is the case.

Fullback.

If we don’t beat that Wigan team Chester and the entire team should resign and find jobs more suitable to them! Seriously that is the weakest Wigan team i’ve ever seen.

Certainly looking like we have a good opportunity here.

Apparently Tanginoa is injured I just read in an article and that’s why he’s not in the team. Not sure how true that is.

Max has to play fullback. He’s been very good end of last year and nearly every game he’s played this year. Lad had a sub par game but that’s rare and he is without shadow of a doubt the best fullback at the club.

Centre is the biggest conundrum. Hampshire/Senior probably best option.

I’d have Aydin start and just look for a big 20 minutes from the lad. Fifita and Battye are much stronger from the bench.

I’d go with:

1. Jowitt
2. Johnstone
3. Arundel
4. Senior/Hampshire?
5. Kershaw
6. Miller
7. Lino
8. Arona
9. Walker
10. Aydin
11. Ashurst
12. Pitts
13. Westerman (Crowther if called up)

14. Wood
15. Fifita
16. Battye
17. Batchelor

Liam Kay in Combined Nations squad, didn`t see that one coming.

Really surprised Fifita isn`t in the squad looking at some of the props in that have been selected.

Kelepi in all nations squad, centre could be an issue dont think either senior or hampshire can cover pity Greensmith on loan ideal opportunity for the lad

Clearly the report from one of the articles this morning was off the mark on Tanginoa. That’s a relief!

I agree that it would’ve been a great opportunity for Croft, Greensmith were they available!

I’d probably go with Hampshire at centre with his experience and he is more likely to be able to find a pass and get involved in plays more.

Picking Junior Moors over him and Arona is baffling for sure.

He’s in the all stars team so can’t be injured

I would put senior at centre he came through ranks in that position and only had no opportunities due to quality huddersfield have usually had and had more opportunities on wing

Wiggin's squad...

2. Dom Manfredi
4. Oliver Gildart
5. Liam Marshall
7. Tommy Leuluai
9. Sam Powell
10. Joe Bullock
11. Willie Isa
14. Oliver Partington
15. Morgan Smithies
19. Liam Byrne
20. Harry Smith
21. Ethan Havard
22. Jake Bibby
25. Joe Shorrocks
27. Kai Pearce-Paul
29. James McDonnell
30. Umyla Hanley
34. Brad O’Neill

Yes, they've also got a few missing but there's still some quality in there, although it sounds as though Manfredi will not be one of them ??

Senior at Centre, Kersh or Rocky on the Wing?
Joe & Tom on the other side........

Was wondering why Wigan could recall McDonnell and O'Neill from their respective loan clubs but we haven't done the same with Greensmith and Bailey ?

It would seem to be an ideal opportunity to have given Greensmith some SL experience imo.

I agree.
If he can be recalled then I just don't see why he isn't?
I really don't see what the point of homegrown players is, if we don't give them the chance when it comes up - like now!

Jowitt
Kershaw
ArunDEL
Senior
Johnstone

Hampshire
Lino

Arona
Walker
Battye
Pitts
Ashurst
Crowther

Fifita
Wood
Batchelor
Aydin

Looking at Wigan squad and they look quite strong ! Miller a huge miss for us …

Shame Miller didn`t make the cut but on the flip side it gives Hampshire a chance to impress in the halves.

He hasn’t impressed yet so fingers crossed he does tonight !

Wigan 17

5. Liam Marshall

Interchanges:

25. Joe Shorrocks

Although we have a few out ourselves, for me we wont get a better chance at beating Wigan looking at that 17.

I have a feeling Leigh will beat Wire tonight, so it would be good to come away with 2 points to keep the pressure off.

It's another of the few games that we should take advantage.
Its a good opportunity to take 2 points but it's Wakey and never expect the expected.

Disappointed if we lose tonight given the line ups. Chester et al, over to you.

A very beatable side tonight, I’ve everything crossed for it!

Our discipline just kills us, silly penalties every other set, gifting field position.
