I see, because obviously the team against us the first time around was the 100% first choice selection and Noble was bound to pick EXACTLY the same side against Castleford if all players were available.

Tim's comment of "nearly" at full strength was obviously too much for Rogues to handle before he steamed in defending his disgrace of a side.

All teams have injuries, it's part of the game, you've had your fair share this year.

Hopefully we'll have Owen, Feather and Netherton back when we play you guys, think we missed them today.

Feather like McIlorum played in the reserve game yesterday.
i.e. they were not selected. Owen was available but not selected.

Owen was injured and that is the reason why he was sat in the stands in front of TM.

If he was only dropped, he also would of played for the reserves....

Wigan were missing Hock, Bailey, Ainscough, O'Carroll, Smith and Goulding, all are out for the season (Hock for two )

McIlorum managed half a game in the reserve match, his first for almost two months.

Ainscough hasn't played much since the arrival of yet another over the hill Aussie, Hock has been missing a while now and you can point and say "Well we haven't got Hock" my response to that is "Sack him and spend the wages on a player you can actually select" and finally Goulding was frozen out at The Goons and sent out on loan...

...so thats just Smith, O'Carroll and Bailey missing.
