We don't even have a towel

On paper with the players Wigan have out we should be winning this game.

On paper we should have beaten widnes and wakefield. Maybe it's just teams beginning with the letter W?

It will be interesting what handicaps the bookies give. Missing SOL, Flower, Farrell and Pettybourne out of the pack is a massive loss for us. Combined with Charnley, Thornley and Bowen (also Rock and Tierney so no full back) that's half our team.

we would still feck it up!

we nearly messed up last season when wigan played a full team of reserves at their ground.

horne to come back in this weekend for millar, carvell and watts to start, paea may be the prop rested this time out

Crookes
Crooks

Paea

Difficult this one because if Radford sticks to his don't perform your out then Paea should miss out.
Green will definitely come in as he was left out at Doncaster at the weekend the same as Crookes the previous week.
Think Hadley will miss out this one and Horne will return for Miller
Carvell and Bowden to start Watts and Feka on the bench with Heremaia and Thompson.Wouldnt surprise me to see Green used as a second row with Whiting at 13.
Wigan will pepper our right with high kicks as they have 2 very tall left side players on the wing and centre.
How we will combat this I don't know because Ellis just doesn't perform as well when playing at the right side.He seems much more settled on the left.

I'm very confident that we will win this one. What I'm less confident in is our ability to back it up the week after.

We lost the last one, which usually means we should win this one right?

Another loss to Rovers followed by a win against Leeds will make for an interesting end to May!

Alternatively we could lose all three then there would be some heat in the kitchen come the end of May.
And if we then proceeded to lose the game on the last day of May it would be a raging fooking inferno.

One thing is for sure, even though Wigan have a lot of players missing,
their structure will not be affected.

Has Danny H got a twin brother and can Ellis now have a game seeing as Tuson is injured?

With Westy looking like he is playing, him at LF, Whiting on the bench in place of Tuson/Hadley.

Doubt Joe will play this week.

FWIW.

Expect Wigan to line up something like

Sarginson
Burgess
Gelling
Goulding
Manfredi
Green
Smith
Taylor
McIlorum
Crosby
Bateman
Hughes
Clubb

James
Dudson
Williams
Sutton

Missing Bowen, Hampshire, Tierney, O'Loughlin, Farrell, Charnley, Flower and Pettybourne.
Expect us to come with lots of enthusiasm. Make lack a bit of execution, but Wane won't allow them to roll over. See you Friday!

Still a good, young and exciting side, the average age of that team must be really young.

Interesting Sarginson at FB has he played there before. Not that it matters if we turn up with the same attitude as Sunday Chorley Panthers under 11's would beat us.

Don't believe Sarginson has played there before, except for 20 minutes v Bradford on Easter Monday. I imagine it'll be between him and Burgess for that spot, the other being on the wing.
Good young side there, for sure. Wane will have them fired up. Backs to the wall, siege mentality etc etc

Even with the injuries you've got I'd still give Hull a 10+ points start. We were that bad on Sunday.

Missed the match on Sunday due to forgetting we had switched fixtures so just seen brief highlights on Sltv......we looked good with ball in hand and scored 2 very good tries but our heads went.As for fri....interesting one as Wigan was equally poor v Leeds as their pack got battered and on paper or players fit...our pack is better....go in with a big pack and Smith and Green can't dictate...I fancy us to win.

That probable Wigan side will be awesome in a couple of years time. But for now we should be beating them at home.

Agreed, I would expect you to beat us, but not comfortably. We'll be more than competitive.
