Probably for the best the way he's been playing recently

This

That would be my 17 too, however I would be concerned with the lightweight bench. For one night only I would be tempted to swap Blythe for Westwood and use Super Ben to bring some Ooomph off the bench at Prop.

Westwood isn't an impact player he's an 80 minute workhorse, every minute he's off the field is Wigan getting cheap yards around the ruck.

why would we want to put our best player on the bench? madness.

this except grix for cooper and cooper used as a interchange prop

I agree with this, we need Grix to start.

Grix and Hill changed the game when they came on at Leeds and this led to us clawing our way back from 12-0.

Wood could start from the bench again like he did against Wakey with one of Hill/Cooper starting with Moz.

Agreed with Grix starting. Has anybody noticed on the squad announcement on the website it says we're wearing our away kit? Colour clash anyone? We'll end up wearing Wigan Athletic shirts. www.warringtonwolves.org/wolves- ... derby-5144

Because I think that going into this game with only one prop on the bench is madness. The better alternative, which I didn't think of earlier, would be Grix at 13 and Cooper on the bench.

Wigan 19 Man Squad

Sam Tomkins, Josh Charnley, Darrell Goulding, George Carmont, Pat Richards, Brett Finch, Thomas Leuluai, Paul Prescott, Michael McIlorum, Harrison Hansen, Gareth Hock, Sean O'Loughlin, Jeff Lima, Liam Farrell, Chris Tuson, Epalahame Lauaki, Ben Flower, Jack Hughes, Tom Spencer.

Williams plus 1 to drop out.
Think it could be Dwyer, with McCarthy needed for more power up front. Depends if M Monas is really OK or not.
I'd start Hill with Morley and have Coops, Wood and Blythe as the other subs.

Agreed

Cant see anything other than a defeat for Warrington. Not that it matters one jot, apart from bragging rights of course.

X 2

Likewise. A big bench will be required on Friday.

I'd start Williams, I thought he was the best back we had on display against Wakefield. He looked strong with every carry and far more of a threat than most.

I'm not sure if Hodgson is fit, if he is then play him at fullback, maybe Williams instead of Riley who looked to be struggling a tad on Sunday.

I agree with you about Williams. He had a good game on Sunday and was actually our best outside back, not that he had a lot of competition. However I think he will miss out to others.

Can anyone confirm if Hodgson is fit? And if he will be on kicking detail?

Can't see us winning if he isn't.



Can't see us winning if he isn't.

X3
Cooper is showing to be a big impact player so far this season.

williams for riley on the back of 1 gd performance by williams against wakefield? williams and dwyer to miss out, monas will do the 80.
