There's a game in two days- since no one has started a thread here you go.
Wigan’s 19-man squad is: John Bateman, Greg Burke, Josh Charnley, Tony Clubb, Dom Crosby, Ben Flower, Oliver Gildart, Anthony Gelling, Nick Gregson, Jack Higginson, Willie Isa, Lee Mossop, Sam Powell, Dan Sarginson, Matty Smith, Ryan Sutton, Taulima Tautai, Lewis Tierney, J Tomkins
edited to add J Tomkins - missed off when I cut and paste the list.

Anderson is sticking with the squad from last week that means that larne Patrick won't be playing and Eorl Crabtree is left out of the squad although now fit following injury. The only change is to drop Sam wood who made his successful home debut against you earlier in the year for gene Ormsby who wasn't able to play against his parent club last week. Some youth on show in both squads.
2. Jermaine McGillvary
3. Leroy Cudjoe
4. Joe Wardle
5. Aaron Murphy
6. Danny Brough
9. Ryan Hinchcliffe
10. Craig Huby
12. Michael Lawrence
15. Kyle Wood
16. Sam Rapira
17. Ukuma Ta’ai
18. Jake Connor
19. Josh Johnson
20. Kruise Leeming
21. Nathan Mason
22. Oliver Roberts
25. Tyler Dickinson
34. Ryan Brierley
35. Gene Ormsby

I would imagine something along the lines of:

Dan Sarginson
Lewis Tierney, Oliver Gildart, Anthony Gelling, Josh Charnley
Nick Gregson, Matty Smith
Lee Mossop, Sam Powell, Ben Flower
Joel Tomkins, Willie Isa,
John Bateman

Ryan Sutton, Tony Clubb, Taulima Tautai, Dom Crosby

Miss Out : Jack Higginson, Greg Burke

Joel Tomkins isn't in the 19, and four props on the bench would probably see one wasted. I'm surprised Waterworth isn't being given a crack off the bench, surely we can't keep flogging Powell for 80 mins every week.

JT is in the 19, its just the last name on the list which the OP missed in his cut & paste. count the names, he's only got 18

They struggle to bring more than 200 fans when they're coasting, so I wonder how many they'll bring on a Thursday night when they're cack...

Charming. I was going to discuss the relative squads, potential strengths and weaknesses and possible tactics of the rugby going on on the pitch- but seeing as you'd rather make

comments about numbers of fans

Crack on.

Wigan 52-4 Hudds

Lets hope our only game changer, john bateman, is firing on all cylinders or we might be f*****d

Nowhere near I reckon. Similarly to the Cas game I would be just grateful of the win. We are not even close to our best yet.

I stand corrected!

It'll be a tough game. We seem to be catching them as they're getting back to their best and we still look shaky in terms of creating chances.

Any sort of win will be a good one going in to the Wire game.

Our pack getting stronger, just need to snuff out their wings...

Could be a tough one this. A few weeks ago I would have really fancied our chances. They'll be a lot more confident after last week and probably play with a bit more freedom with the confidence gained from billing Warrington. We've obviously still got a significant number of players missing however hopefully those in the 19 will have recovered from the illness now and will be raring to go. Difficult game to call and I'm not going to tempt fate by predicting a scoreline.

According to my die-hard wolf mate, Wire lost the game, rather than Hudds winning it.
If we play to our potential, despite the absentees, and stop giving away possession (both discipline and handling), we should be OK.
Playing conditions should be good, as should be the condition of the pitch (when was the last wendyball played?)
I'd be disappointed if we didn't improve our overall points difference to at least 10 into the black.

Latics played last night drew.

They were away though at Burton.

I went against Coventry last week and the pitch looked OK.

Your right apologise.

Don't apologise.

Latics could have a monster truck rally on the pitch in our off season and it would still be the rugby at fault.

I must say against Cov the pitch looked OK but no better. There looked to be some wear and tear on it.

BIG renovation being done to the pitch in May and June. It may well cause problems if we progress to the Challenge Cup Quarter Finals and are drawn at home.

Oh that will make a nice change. I don't think the fans will stand for that again.

True, with free coaches though we might manage 250, but I'm sure we will make more noise than the snoozing Wigan fans.

Good job games are won on the field though eh

Exactly, the only time you get points for singing is in the Eurovision Song Contest.

Well that's debatable

Not really that good for you lot though, seeing as you've done a lot more losing than winning.

We really should take lessons from the cauldron of noise the Giants fans create at your place



It's like Galatasaray away!
