Bingo, I'd use Hampshire/Williams/S.Powell in the most games then an extra back rower against Hudds, Leeds, Saints and Wire. Ideally one of them should then be ready for the 6 shirt in 2015 if/when Green goes to Aus

Williams was outstanding in the Academy Grand Final and looked every inch capable of shifting to hooker.

Good build excellent eye for a gap and turn of pace. If Logan does not hit the ground running I expect he will come under pressure fairly quickly from Williams.

We have an abundance of quality halves.
Green and Smith are excellent and as good as any in SL.
Sarginson & Powell were the halves in the England Knights team that played Samoa in the pre WC game and put over 50 past them.
Hampshire and Williams are the current England U19 halves and are real quality with a small number of first team games already.
Who the coaches chose to play when and where is up to them and in view of the team's trophy haul this past few years I do trust their judgement to get it right.

2013 England Knight halfbacks were Sarginson & Powell
2013 England U18 halfbacks were Hampshire & Williams
2014 England halfback Jake Shorrocks


Only 1 for 2014!!!!!
Standards are slipping

Had hoped Logan was going to NZ to carry Sam's bags

Anyone know if there's any truth or reason that Josh didn't travel to Florida with the rest of the squad ?

Heard he was having a scan on his ankle so could have something to do with that? No point in flying him all the way out to Florida if he can't train.

According to Rads blog, it's a stomach strain. http://www.wiganwarriors.com/WBlogp.aspx?id=13
