Wigan H : Mon Jul 11, 2016 4:13 pm  

9. Hull KR (14 - -96) - Hull FC A, Leeds H.
10. Salford (12 - -9) - Widnes A, Hull FC H
11. Huddersfield (12 - -38) - St Helens H, Warrington A.
12. Leeds (12 - -178) - Wigan H, KR A.

Tough encounter with Wigan coming up this week, I can't see many changes happening really unless there are injury concerns for us or Briscoe / Ward returns. Maybe Ferres returning.

Sutcliffe
Briscoe/Handley Watkins Moon Hall
McGuire Lilley
Garbutt Segeyaro Galloway
Ablett Ferres
JJB

Burrow Cuthbertson Singleton Keinhorst/Achurch

Wouldn't be surprised if Burrow starts at 7 with Keinhorst and Achurch on the bench and Lilley missing out though.

It'll be a tough game (I'm a Wigan fan) you've started to pick up last few weeks and what with Sam looking like he'll be out, Sean copping a ban, although imo we are better without him but with the injures we've got to our pack we need him, thankfully Nuuausala should make his debut which is good.

watched the Leeds game last Friday after I got home from Wigan and was quite impressed with you, Segeyaro definitely helped although he seems like he can only pass forward, sutcliffe looked dangerous at fullback, in fact he looks better than Hardaker in attack

I imagine the Wigan team will be

Sarginson
Tierney Gildart Charnley Manfredi
Williams Smith
Flower Powell Mossop
Isa Sutton
Tautai

Shorrocks Bretherton Nuuausala Davies/Shelford

O'Loughlin charged with Grade C for the high tackle that got him sent off at the weekend. Has an Early Guilty Plea available to use.

This will be a close game which i can see us winning, not that it means too much on the scheme of things. If Wigan are missing Tomkins and SOL then that majorly tips the advantage to us imo.

Re: Wigan H : Mon Jul 11, 2016 5:26 pm  

I'd prefer to start with mags and Lilley, we need a kicking game early on to make sure we don't keep getting pinned back.
With Burrow on the bench he can then cover hooker it half back.

Really hope Ferres is back and the forwards are ready for a grind of a game. We need them to match Wigan but also not allow them to force us into five drives and a kick.
We have better backs, should be trying to use them to go around Wigan, instead of bashing through them.

Will SoL be missing ? That was a very bad tackle

Re: Wigan H : Mon Jul 11, 2016 8:50 pm  

IIRC the EGP can only take it down a grade if he's charged with a C. So he's looking at a two match ban as standard, unless he manages to plead not guilty and wins.

Although frankly, if he gets away with knocking Chris Annakin out with a swinging arm we may as well get rid of the entire disciplinary system.

Re: Wigan H : Mon Jul 11, 2016 9:22 pm  

I think burrow did enough on Friday to say he should start in the halves (certainly haven't said that in a long time). He kept it pretty simple, put one nice kicks in to hall and I can only remember him running up his own backside once.

By far our worst period in the game was when Segeyaro came off, burrow went into dummy half and Lilley ended up as the lone half, this needs to be avoided at all costs IMO.

Ferres looked fit and well at last nights Ronnie's party for the kids

Were you there with Bart?

Will you guys not be trying out youngsters with this effectively being a dead rubber for you and the middle 8s round the corner? Not trolling, genuine question
