We need an interchange at 9 whether Riddell starts or McIlorum.
Thought Noble got it right with Piggy starting, replaced by Tommy and Sam T going to 7.
Go with the same team again.

.i just dont see the logic in swapping them.oloughlin is more of a ball playing loose than joel and joel is more of a running second row than oloughlin.i think both are suited to the position there already playing.there individual strengths compliment both there positions.

I agree!

Yeh, I would actually have Moran back to play prop instead of Coley, Moran just used to end up running at the line anyway and dropping to the floor just like Coley does.

I agree.



But it's for Prescott's best intrests for him to come back only when fit.

Who is the worst prop?

Andy Coley
Harvey Howard
Stephen Holgate
Francis Stephenson
Brady Malam
Brett Goldspink
Jerry Seu Seu



God we've had some BELTERS!

Tony Mestrov? did he evert break a tackle?

didnt think Mestrov was that bad to be honest. Certainly not a good un, but stil better than those in that list

not by me you wont.......thats exactly the line up i would start with.
none of the ones you mention deserve a place.......make em earn it.

I wouldn't want Jerry Seu Seu in any 'worst of' lists.

Possibly the bravest, most courageous player Wigan have had. I know for a fact his knee injury was far more serious than most people knew - it was a miracle he was even playing at all for us late 05 and 06.

Roberts Bailey Carmont Ainscough

No room for Piggy Coley Mathers Phelps Goulding.

Don't like the bench. 3 props against Bradford?

4 props is a must against Bradford. I dont rate em but they sure have a massive pack

Hock hits the line like a prop. Far more effective at taking the ball up than lets say Coley.

Defensively Hansen, Hock, Lockers, Tomkins plus the on field prop won't have a problem with their pack.
Pryce adds size and cover in the backs and poss forwards.
Can't be doing with Coley full stop, sooner have my bench that introduce Prescott just yet, wanna give Pryce the nod.


But I do see your point.

I reckon keep same team as last week, but bring Sam T in a bit later than he did at Quins, maybe by 5 or 10 minutes... We had a strong side last week, there's no point in changing

agreed but get coley the hell out of this club

I'd go with that but probably play Joel at loose and Lockers in the second row.
Riddell can get game time in the reserves until he is fit enough.

Well his try assist against Cas for a start

You reckon Pryce would of finsihed that intercept againts Quins?

I think people are getting on the backs of Riddell and Roberts way too early

Riddell hasn't played well but I thought he showed improvement on Saturday and when he sorts his fitness out I think he will come good for us

I think Roberts has the potential to be a belter. Took his try very well against Quins showing great pace. He has either been at full back, which wasn't going to be the best position to help him settle in and didn't do too bad apart from letting one ball bounce.

You have to look at the centre's playing inside him so far he's had Phelps and Bailey. Not many wingers would do too well with them inside them. If he had Carmont on his inside I think he would be doing an awful lot better and people would be saying what a good buy he is! I also doubt Ainscough would have had 3 tries in 2 games had Phelps and Bailey been his centres for the 2 games

1. Richards
2. Roberts
3. Bailey
4. Carmont
5. Ainscough
6. S. Tomkins
7. Smith
8. Fielden
9. Leuluai
10. Feka
11. Hock
12. Tomkins
13. O Loughlin

14. Hansen
15. McIlorum
16. Prescott
17. O Carroll

why would you swap them?

I can see his point, Tomkins is more of an attacking threat.

Totally agree give them at least 10 games before judging them. Thought Roberts has done well and people on here have been say about Riddell having an injury.

WHAT?!?! He stole mathers' job?!?! Richie will not be pleased!!!

We must start with Hansen. His tackling was perpetual motion at Quins. It's like leaving Mick Cassidy on the bench.
Our 'creative players can then rotate and have a breather.

Whats Mathers done wrong to warrant being dropped? Another shockin decision from Noble
