Would be nice but I think you can knock 1000 off that.

At least Tomkins is playing!!

Hall has to play now as he is the only bloody kicker.

Aye, 4th choice goalkicker

4th???

Surely not behind Long?

Tansey
Hall
Turner
Yeaman
Briscoe
Horne
Berrigan
Dowes
Houghton
Cusack
Radford
Manu
Washbrook

Moa
Lauaki
Burnett
Nicklas

Radford has been awful when he has played backrow in the last few seasons, too slow now, looks better at prop leave him there.

Think we have a fairly good record against Wigan at the KC, I can't think of too many defeats at home, play offs a few years ago.

Saying that, things are certainly stacked against us this week and a battling defeat wouldn't shatter the new found confidence to much hopefully.

heard aswell that omeley has put his hand up to play but i dont think he will be risked

Bless him - put his hand up for the derby too.

Wigan's a write off - one of the games we expected to lose anyway in the run-up to the playoffs - O'Meley and Fitz need protecting for the games we can win. Not too bothered about Tickle's ban for the same reason - one less game for him to risk injury in. Let's target Quins for an all guns blazing squad.

I agree, but would like to see a spirited performance. Need to continue build a bit of momentum even if it's just in the enthusiasm stakes.

Don't disagree with that.

At Wigan, Coley's ban is served, Tomkins can play and Mossop's injury isn't as bad as first thought so may play.

Wigan possibly,

Roberts,
Goulding, Gleeson, Carmont, Richards,
S Tomkins, Leuluai,
Fielden Riddell, Coley,
Hansen, J Tomkins,
O'Loughlin.
Bench, Mossop, Tuson, Farrell, Deacon.

Maguire is back in Aus due to his father's illness so Shaun Wane will be coach.

Poor Maguire. Wish him and his father well.

Will this affect the team much? Got to say this year's outstanding performance is down to the impact he's made.

looks a strong side and should be far to much for our side, unfortunatley were decimated by injuries and bans could of been a real good game if we were full strengh

Now with the suspensions and injuries confirmed, I'll go with :

1 Tansey
2 Hall
3 Turner
4 Yeaman
5 T. Briscoe
6 Berrigan
7 Horne

8 Dowes
9 Houghton
10 Cusack
11 Burnett
12 Manu
13 Washbrook

14 Nicklas
15 Lauaki
16 Radford
17 Moa

I'll be happy with a good performance and for us to keep it close.

Thanks for the good wishes.
If you get near the end of the interview you will hear what he has to say about his dad. Sadly it really sounds like bad news as his dad is battling cancer.

I went through the same thing with my dad in 2003. I really don't know how Maguire did that interview, I certainly couldn't at that time.

It's hit a very raw nerve as I've just lost my own Dad. Really hope it's better news for Michael's family.

I'd go for:
Tansey
Briscoe
Turner
Yeaman
Hall
Washy
Horne
Dowes
Houghton
Radford
Manu
Burnett
Berro

Lauaki
Cusack
Nicklas
Moa

Looks good to me.

still think we might get something out of it

sorry Dave Washy and Horne should never be allowed anywhere neer the half back positions together. We've seen too many abject displays with them in position.
Think we either swap Berro + Washy or bite the bullet and give Nicklas the 6 slot.

That would be mine apart form I would have Lauaki or Burnett starting and Radders on the bench. I think we will push them all the way its still a good team.

Tansey;
Hall, Turner, Yeaman, Briscoe;
Horne, Berrigan;
Dowes, Houghton, Radford;
Burnett, Manu;
Washbrook.

Cusack, Moa, Lauaki, Nicklas.

That would be mine too. We might see Hall and Briscoe swap sides though.
