I wouldn't want to see Thornley and Murphy on the same side of defence there. Goulding to play for me, not an ideal situation but its probably necessary.

1. Murphy
2. Goulding
3. Thornley
4. Carmont
5. Gelling
6. Finch
7. Tomkins
8. Mossop
9. Smith
10. Lauaki
11. Farrell
12. Hock
13. O'Loughlin

14. Flower
15. Hansen
16. Tuson
17. Logan Tomkins

for next week Macca in at 9, Charnley back on the wing and hopefully either prescott/lima back for the 4th bench spot.

For tomorrow I'd like to see thornley given a run out at centre, if he is going to be considered for the centre position next year he is going to need a shot there. Plus I would be more comfortable with Goulding on the wing.

Smith should be on the bench tomorrow as we need to work on the halfback pairing that'll play in the semi final. Given we've only got one game left before we play Leeds it has to be Locky and Finch now. The more they play together the more chance we have of it working for next Saturday.

1 Jack Murphy
2 Darrell Goudling
3 Iain Thornley
4 George Carmont
5 Anthony Gelling
6 Sam Tomkins
7 Brett Finch
8 Epa Lauaki
9 Matty Smith
10 Lee Mossop
11 Liam Farrell
12 Gaz Hock
13 Sean O'Loughlin

SUB Logan Tomkins
SUB Ben Flower
SUB Harrison Hansen
SUB Chris Tuson

As much as I think the main importance in the long term is to keep Sam at fullback, we should probably move away from that in preparation for the Leeds game. I think this because it's important to keep Lockers at 13 if we can as it is his best position, and if it means moving Sam for two games max then it is something Wigan should try. Murphy looked solid enough at fullback to to trust so we should be reet, especially with Charnley to come back in to the three quarter line in the cup and Micky Mac to come back as well which will allow movement in the pivots without disrupting as much.

i dont see why people are moving goulding the form to the wing when hes coming back from injury. that way were making an inexperienced and winger, despite gouldings 2010 season, he hasnt played an extended run on the wing in 18 months. put goulding in at and see if thornleys got the ability on the wing like gelling.

agree why move two players to accommodate charnley's injury...

goulding to stay at centre and then thornley on the wing ....

logan will start at 9 for me and matty on the bench...
