What's your likely team for next week? Ours is:

FB 1 Sam
RW 2 Charnley
RC 3 Goulding
LC 17 Thornley
LW 5 Richards
SO 6 Green
SH 7 Smith
P 20 Dudson
H 9 McIlorum
P 10 Mossop
SR 11 Hansen
SR 12 Farrell
LF 13 O'Loughlin

S 15 Flower
S 16 Tuson
S 21 Taylor
S 23 Logan/4 Hughes

I'd play Crosby and Hampshire instead of Dudson and Logan but it won't happen

edited to remove Gelling as he didn't make the 19 man squad (The 18 named players did, plus Crosby but I still don't think he'll get picked)

Sorry but we're keeping our cards close to our chests, so couldn't possibly comment

the winning one!

1 Motu Tony
2 Nathan Blacklock
3 Kirk Yeaman
4 Richard Whiting 5
Gareth Raynor
6 Richard Horne
7 Danny Brough
8 Ewan Dowes
9 Richard Swain
10 Garreth Carvell
11 Shayne McMenemy
12 Stephen Kearney
13 Paul Cooke
14 Paul King
15 Jamie Thackray
16 Tommy Saxton
17 Chris Chester

Hmm my 2nd post disappeared.....as I was saying - with major questions/worries over our back line and depending on where whiting has to play it could affect the forwards.....it's more a question of hope rather than predict and I wouldn't want to jinx things!

That side wont win owt.

I'm 60 mins into a game from 2005 if you know the ending don't tell me......

Switch off you'll only be disappointed again

Shaul
Crookes
Horne
Yeaman
Briscoe
Holdsworth
Miller
O'Meley
Houghton
Watts
Ellis
Tickle
Westerman

Heremaia
Whiting
Lynch
Green

Assuming no McDonnell, Lineham, Crooks, Arundel, Galea, so 5 out. Entirely making up that Horne is fit BTW, no idea.
Wigan at full strength, looks like. Crikey.

didn't gentle say horne should be ready to go for Wembley?

Confident that Arundel will play. Yeamo and Lineham are worries for me.

Throw Ben Crooks into the mix

Horne should play if anywhere near fit, Lineham and Crooks should get til the very last minute

Got a Horney feeling.........

We don't have any injuries (well, Lockers has played 20 minutes in the last 3 weeks but he's miraculously fit for Wembley, just like he returned after a 5 week lay off for the QF, then missed a week, then was fit for the semi

). I don't think we'll ever be 'full strength under Shaun Wane though.....

I personally think it would be a massive risk playing Horne when he hasn't played for god knows how long . It's not as though we're short in the halfs , yes maybe full back but I think it would be a big risk . Regarding oloughlin I think he's wigans most important player , similar to sinfield for Leeds , but according to a ex hull based players father who now plays for Wigan he won't be playing , so in my eyes a massive boost if true .

1. Speed merchant 2. The tank engine 3. Crooksy 4. Yeamo 5. England's no5 6. Dj 7. Milky 8. Orge 9. Tackle machine 10. Wattsy 11. Skipper 12. Goal kicking machine 13. Westy. Subs: 14. Sir rich whiting, 15. Pitts(unsung hero), 16. Azza 17. Lynchy 18. Old faithful packing wembley!!!!!

Cripes I hope you're wrong. I think you'll beat us if Lockers doesn't play

You know Lauaki's dad?

When do we need to name our squad?

Once we have named the squad can it be changed?

Think there is a lot of mind games going on from both camps regarding injuries etc.

Thursday 2pm would be the norm and yes the squad can be changed as long as the opposition are informed

I think Arundel play, Horney will miss out.

Pitts instead of Green, we have only lost 1 game since he's got back in the side (his first back against Bradford) and had a great game against Wire.

Also think Lineham will make it.
