I rest my case.

Don't worry you wigan fans will learn how the game works as you start to get used to it again, what with been away for so long.

Oh no! we are going to get relegated now

what case?

Headcase?

we will miss lockers definately on sunday. However, the form of farrell on sunday will lead to him being an adequate replacement.

go with

11. farrell
12. bailey
13. tomkins

with tuson on the bench.

Just wondering how long hansen is away now? maybe he could snatch a bench spot if fit?

I spoke to H's dad last week and he said it would be 3 - 4 weeks before H would be fit to play.

Big game for Tuson to come in for.

I would play Bailey at 13 did a lot of it at cronulla

Evening post says he's 50/50 so wouldn't rule him out just yet.

The only thing reliable in the Evening Post is the date.

Also same words in todays Obby.

Edited for accuracy

Looking increasingly likely that he'll be out this weekend now.

Nah, if you drop Bailey as well as having Sideshow Bob out you won't give a penalty away all match and might just win.

well we are top of the league with them so.................

I don't think Bailey's a good option at 13.

If we have to re-shuffle it, Joel Tomkins would do better there IMO.

Hmmm ... words of wisdom from someone with a grand total of 9 posts. And wait for it ... most of them trolling on the Wigan message board.





Come back when you've actually got a life.

Very true, giving Joel that option to run all across the line is a formidable thought. Size, Power and Speed!

Joel Tomkins has played there before and done an excellent job. However, that was many seasons ago and now he is a completely different player. Much more power and speed. He is probably the in-form back row forward in the league and for that reason I would leave him there where he is most potent.

Liam Farrell has done an excellent job filling in for Lockers before and I believe he played there at Wakefield? He's stocky, strong and works like a trojan in defence. I'd give him a shot there.

Rumours on the other forum is that Lockers wont play on Sunday and is out for three weeks.

Sorry i'll come back when i've made 9000+ posts

You know i'm right though, Bailey's a penalty machine.

when can you start as coach?? we really need to sign you up, as you have so much insight.

he may give away pens, but he obviously does a lot right or he wouldnt get in the top of the table side. he also wouldnt have played SOO and for Aus. he is clearly a net gain for the team, or someone else would be in there.

I'd think more of you if your main interest was discussing your own team.

You've clearly no idea what a cliche you are.

Aye, him and Obafemi Martins who is already an RL expert having only started watching the game when wire got to Wembley, don't you just love'em

It wasn't "many seasons ago". It was 2008 when he did a great job deputising for Lockers when Lockers only managed 15 appearances due to injury.



If we had Hansen and Mossop fit it would be a no-brainer to play JT at 13. But we don't so it's whether or not we need him in the back row more than at 13 but this is IMO not because Lockers is missing but because we are light in the 2nd row if he moves.

This is one injury too many to easily cope with.
