Possibly more importantly for Wigan, John Asiata banned for Leigh for the game against Warrington.

He’s a good player but not as vital to Leigh as he was last year. I’m sure trout can step up

Has Cooper played his last game for us?

I hope not, we need him performing well over the next few games.

We have Matty and, despite most oppo fans thinking he's not a true loss because of Walters and Nsemba, I think he would have played plenty times this season. Same with Cooper. Yes, we have a truckload of props but Cooper would have been around the 17 most weeks if fit. Moreso given Byrne and Dupree haven't been at their best.

As someone has mentioned already, we were minus 9 players yesterday, most of whom would be in, or at least in contention for, our starting 17. That's the same number Saints were missing the day before but it barely warranted a mention. In fact I can't remember any comments regarding how well Wigan have done to return 4 from 5 during this spell. The narrative yesterday seemed to have been all about our dip in form and how we didn't give Hull a "drubbing"

Regarding Dupree, he seems to me to be carrying a few extra pounds, what does everyone else think?

I disagree, he is a big miss for Leigh.

Mentioned it would have been a Wigan penalty but for Junior going over for the try.

He should have seen a yellow for it

Not the player he was at Salford - struggling to remember a game this year where he's really stood out.

He was great for us last year but isn’t playing like an international prop currently.

We need him to step up.

I remember Peet saying “I don’t want him to fit in - I want him to stand out”

He should be a tackle busting machine
