I personally feel we'd regret not picking Mossop.

Coley should be dropped after that 'performance' last week.

I thought Coley was disgraceful on Sunday but you would have thought he'd be looking to make up for it this week. In all honesty if Coley were to hang on the ball and keep his hands down in defence we'd be half way home!

Although Coley didn't have a good game, he wasn't alone last week in underperforming and despite me not being a fan he has probably been our most consistent prop this season so think it would be a tad harsh to drop him.

Either way if we lose whatever Noble decides on will get blamed on this decision

. Tough call IMO

McIlorum must play IMO, we need to keep our halfbacks on the whole game.

Pryce will not play so its between Mossop and either Hansen or Tomkins or Coley really.

Drop colley i dont think so he's had so many good games this year been our best prop by far & people want to drop him after one bad game

If Coley has another shocker I'd switch Fielden in for him the week after, but I really think that was a one off, any other week he's a player we need. Mossop needs recalling too, can't understand why he got dropped other than his age.

Pryce and Joel for me

Joel was one of our best against Cas IMO though.

The only change I'd consider for the KR game would be Mossop in for Coley however in saying that when Coley plays well he is more affective than Mossop, it's a real close call that hopefully Noble will get right.

Flanagan did little whilst he was on last week. I dont see that it should have to be between Coley and Mossop.

Flanagan out, Mossop in.

Coley will be looking for a big game to rub out last week and people who have said rest Fielden are very wrong IMO.

Totally agree, Mossop is better than Flanagan IMO. But no doubt Wigan will go unchanged.

When Riddell needs to go off i would move Locky into the halves with Sam and push Flannagan to 13 and move Tommy into the 9 position. Seems like alot of changing around to do BUT IMO is the best option for this game. I think Leeds quick play the ball was what got the better of KR last week and i think with tommys darting runs and good brain would take us forward in the middle parts of the match when needed.

I agree with you, we should start the same as Sunday, I think Coley will be up for it and make up for Sunday. I would have Mossop instead of Flannagan though just for his size and the fact that he can give us a little punch. For me it would be a straight shoot out between Joel & Flash. But knowing Noble he will keep the same Xvii unless injuries force his hand.

Don't like all that shifting. It worked miserably at Huddersfield recently and Locky does not play well as a 6.

Agreed, Flanagan has been getting bounced off the tackles the last few weeks his work rate since he got in the first team has been superb, but i think it has caught up on him a little.

Pryce and Flanagan to miss out for me.

There's nothing to stop Tommy doing a couple runs whilst McIlorum/Riddell are on the pitch as well.

Flanagan to miss out, just, for me. Pryce to miss out too

Mossop in for Joel for me.

Same as last week

It's truely unbeliveable isn't it.

Mossop in for Flanagan would be my only change.

I think thats harsh on Coley. 1 bad game and people want him dropped. People are forgetting his performances when it mattered against Leeds Saints, and he was awesome against Wire in the semi. Fielden plays rubbish for weeks and doesnt get dropped and yet you want our most consistent prop dropped immediately. No offence mate but look at the bigger picture. If Nobby drops him to the bench then fair call but to drop him completely would be stupid.

We'd have been well and truely screwed without Coley this season. He should be one of the first names on the sheet and probably is.

A couple of half decent games from Fielden and Feka and it's easy for people to forget how Coley and Prescott have held that front row together for months whilst those 2 were half ar*ing around and played a huge part in us losing that challenge cup semi.

couldnt agree more mate. Fekas perfomance in the semi was nothing short of woeful and embarrassing. Yet the "lets shoot coley" band wagon begins after last sunday. 3 ball errors and 1 high tackle. ok a shocker for Coley but it would have been worse if wigan had lost. I bet know one is more disappointed than Coley about last sunday. His defense was still good regardless. Prescott and Coley have done a good solid job this year .

Good spot but Murrell's back this week and he has a knack of spotting the quick runner and blocking.
