We can have a few in the Fleece afterwards pal. Just hope it isn't going to be a cold one...Although it is Odsal after all

I'll have to meet you up there as I'll have all the commentary equipment to pack away and meet the users etc.

What are you doing next Friday with regards Leeds vs Harlequins?

It's Helen's 40th isn't it so I could nip over to Headingley eith you and Pete then back to the Con Club for £2 Strongbow's

I don't know which turns my stomach most - going in a Con Club or drinking Strongbow.

Well surely if they both turn your stomach then you'll be ok as it'll be a full 360 turn

Wigan 19 Man Squad for Bradford game:

Sam Tomkins, Darrell Goulding, Martin Gleeson, George Carmont, Paul Deacon, Thomas Leuluai, Stuart Fielden, Michael McIlorum, Andy Coley, Harrison Hansen, Joel Tomkins, Sean O'Loughlin, Paul Prescott, Ryan Hoffman, Amos Roberts, Lee Mossop, Liam Farrell, Chris Tuson, Josh Charnley.

Hope Ainscough gets a game. He would love to make a point against wigan. Can haunt any team on his day and im sure hed love to haunt the team that let him go

wonder if deacs and fielden are fit or if theres an element of mind games going on.

Roberts is a doubt aswell.

Our team should be up at 2pm.

Should be, but id hope ainscough gets the nod against raynor this time. Ideally my team would be

Kearney
Ainscough
Platt
Walker
Ah Van
Briggs
Herbert
Lynch
Lestrange
Hargeaves
Whitehead
Elima
Addy
Bench: Royston, Scruton, Kopzack, Raynor

Winger on the bench is a waste. Would be better having Diskin

oh yeh god how did i forget! DISKIN!!! its a friday and chill out mind has begun

Swap Raynor for Diskin and you won't be far off I dont think. I'd still stick with Raynor on the wing. Give him a bit of a chance to get going.

Was pretty obvious as I doubt anyone would leave him out after last week!

Why hasnt our squad been announced yet? thought it was friday 12:00

we've got uptil 3pm before we have to announce it.

Its announced

yeah I saw. you were posting squad at same time as I posted.

Ok mate

Briggs damaged his PCL in the game at Cardiff last week and will be missing for between four and six weeks whilst Langley will miss a similar period with a shoulder injury. Marc Herbert has still not recovered sufficiently from the Hamstring Strain that kept him out last week. Danny Addy and Tom Olbison are added to the Squad.

The squad in full is: Addy, Ainscough, Ah Van, Diskin, Elima, Hargreaves, Kearney, Kopczak, L'Estrange, Lynch, Olbison, Platt, Raynor, Royston, Scruton, Sibbit, Sykes, Walker, Whitehead.

I think we are in a bit of trouble for Sunday.

depends how potter reshuffles the available players. We're certainly going to suffer a bit creatively and have to play either addy or l'estrange at Hb, but its by no means ceratin that deacs is 100% or even going to play for wigan so there in same boat to an extent. Certainly be interesting to see how our defense copes.

I would play Heath mate as we need Addy at LF.

The weather could really play a part if the expected snow fall is as heavy as Look North claims, leaving the pitch like a quagmire.

Good old fashioned Rugby League

A tricle of snow and the game will be off mick


No seriously every body on the other topic has p**sed me off! Do they not think other players are capable of doing the job?

Yeah, exactly the same boat. Wigan will just slide Tomkins into 6, and put Roberts at FB!
