Its a pity Shaul cant play as it would have been interesting to see him perform against us.
Talking Shaul why is he allowed to be wearing what look like plain black socks when the other players are wearing the white/blue socks

Jesus just seen team, all OK then saw Corey Hall SR and Croft to centre. Strange one that, I would have thought other way around a better option

True but you’d hope Max will be busting to prove a point.

They are not socks they are calf protectors. He has Trinity socks on but rolled right down. Don’t know why he does that but they are not black socks.

Well I didn't expect that.
Hope it works. There are some big bodies running down that channel.

This was the point I was making when I offended some with my Poching can’t coach thread.

Apart from it being an utterly wacky selection it flies in the face of what WP and MC said is their philosophy. This was next man up!

If that’s the case it’s Windrow who should play. He may never have played first team but at least he’s played S/R once or many many times.

Sorry but there is no logic to this even if Hall does do ok. Basically why keep Windrow or Eseh or any of the fringe players, why not just rotate the first 20 players to fit regardless of experience.Lino to prop, why not. There is thinking outside the box then there is chucking the box on a bonfire.

Even if we win I remain totally unconvinced regarding Poching.

I agree, high risk gamble

This game was primed for one of the reserve SR to step up such as Windrow. Poaching obviously views this game as a must win and keeping with the first team players. Genuinely I have no issue with Hall to SR, I think he’ll do well, he’s a physical lad who’s handled himself great. My issue is Croft at centre, I hope he proves me wrong tonight but he’s been below average sadly since his injury. Whats the best scenario, hall at Centre and Windrow at SR or Hall at SR and Croft at Centre. For me Hall at centre and Windrow at SR, but I am a armchair coach.

And then we have walker who is a loose forward playing from bench as interchange hooker, Bowden who’s a prop playing at loose, yet bowes did a decent job

We are now (slight) bookies favourites to win tonight. That makes me nervous.

Seeing as though we play gash the majority of the time on sky, I’ve been nervous all week!

To be fair to Croft he played well vs saints and was unlucky to be dropped the next game. He was improving game by game albeit slowly. It’s more the defence on that edge. They will need to be on it.

Looking at the hull team I thought the backs would be weak but they’re far from it.

I also agree I would have gone Windrow to right second row. I’m a fan of making as few changes as possible. Windrow straight in is one change and ‘next man up’ ….. yet we change 2 in positions. Risky imo. I’ll back them though. Let’s do this.

Chuffin Chester in studio, thats all we want. Another bad omen

I did say hall could cover it although didnt think it would happen

Can you imagine if Chester had of made this selection, he’d of been slaughtered.

I’m in agreement with most on this one
Windrow to second row and leave Hall where he’s been all season, he’s a tough bloke and won’t shirk but why move him when there’s other options.

Jack Croft played the majority of his Junior days in the second row so he would have been the more natural selection there. He’s also bigger built than Hall and perhaps physically more durable for that role.

But I hazard a guess that most calling for Windrow have not seen him play against decent opposition.

Let's see how it goes. As he says, Luppy called this. Let's see how it goes.

Big blow to lose Whitbread, hopefully he can shake it off

Great take under pressure from Jack Croft

Wigan 6 - Toulouse 0

I’d like a more detailed & closer look at that Murphy attempted put down

On 2nd look, I think that’s a try

My thoughts too

Wigan 12 - Toulouse 0

Great finish from Murphy (should be his second of the game for me)

Trinity definitely up for this!

Wigan 18 - Toulouse 0

What a header
