Oh yeah, sorry didn't realise. And yeah could be a possibility, think I'd play crooks on the wing and horne centre now thinking about it though

could be worse they could be harping on about playing forwards on the wing

Crookes has been in and out of the side and now Lineham is injured he should get a run of games so we can see how good (or bad) he is.

Whiting is better off the bench.

Kevin Sinfield.

Big chance to get the 2pts here. (optimistic hete) beat saints , could finish 5th and go into playoffs off the back of 5 straight sl wins with a home tie . Coyh

It's a good opportunity to get the 2 points with so many established players out of Wigans team, but after last weekend I'm trying not to be too optimistic ever again! If Saints lose to Warrington this weekend and we manage to beat Wigan it would make final game at home to Saints very interesting!

5th would be nice!

wasn't Crooks back in his boot after the game?

again, just a thought mate, i'd prefer whiting to be on the wing

We haven't got the forwards Leeds had when they could play sinfield at 13.

13 who fills in at 6 when needed

1 Shaul
2 Crookes
3 Crooks
4 Yeaman
5 Briscoe
6 DJ
7 Miller
8 Watts
9 Houghton
10 Green
11 Tickle
12 Westerman
13 Whiting

14. Bowden
15. Johnson
16. Pitts
17. Horne

I'd start horne and bench either miller or holdsworth. That side should get a comfortable win tomorrow if they turn up and play well

Would be my team, using Horne as interchange hooker to give Houghton a bit of a rest.

That side should be good enough to beat the side that Wigan have picked.

You hope !!

yeah i would go with that - crookes needs games to prove his worth more than other players tbh i can see him being shipped out next season if he dosn't take this chance

Horne needs to start.

Must be the first time ever Wigan have got a start with the bookies against us at their home ground

Be interesting wot the RFL do to Wigan im all for resting the odd player or so but nearly everyone of there starting team is a disgrace and makes a mockery of the league that they don't wanna finish higher, dont get me wrong i atlest we have a good chance tomorrow but not When people have already paid for there travel and tickets

They will probably do nothing, and why should they, all those players will have been picked to be part of the 1st team squad this year and Shaun Wane picks who to play for Wigan not the RFL

Said it was ust precautionary, but must admit didn't expect him to be playing Friday, so guess the comment that he was 100% fit for the final was correct....unless he doesn't make the 17

Nothing! They are all squad players so Wane can pick who he wants. Makes a mockery of the playoff system that Wigan see no need to win this game as they are happy to finish 4th and play Hudds away rather than Wire.

I'll be there on Friday, hope we take a few fans as the team Wigan are putting out now gives us the potential to finish 5th, but the boys will be down and need our support.

Horne has to start in the halves. Whiting has to be at 13 now, he should have been for the last few seasons but I can only pray that last weekends defeat will at least force this decision. Tickle lucky to be in the squad and really needs to perform to keep the shirt. I actually think a spine of the team consisting of Shaul FB, Horne & DJ (halves), Houghton/Aaron (when free) and Whiting at 13 is very strong.

Anyone in the top 8 can beat anyone else on a given day and it's totally wide open this year.
