Some tough decisions for Wane if everyone has come through last night's game unscathed, Greenwood looks like the major concern with the head injury.
Do we go big on the bench or keep Escare for the last 20mins ?
I'd stick with Escare personally but what do I know.

Re: Castleford at Home : Sat Sep 29, 2018 1:09 pm  

Greenwood should be fine according to Wane.

I’d go-

Tomkins
Manfredi Gildart Sarginson Davies
Williams Leuluai
Navarette Powell Flower
Bateman Greenwood Lockers

Subs
Clubb Sutton Farrell Escare

Hamlin really unlucky to miss out and I’d feel pretty sad about that but what can you do.

Personally I'd swap Hamlin and Farrell - not sure how match fit Faz would be in game of such intensity.

Farrell is a machine fitness wise. If anyone will be fine it will be him and I really doubt he’ll have any issues.

I think Wane May leave out Escare but Farrell will be in.

Close call but Id go with four forwards on the bench.

Re: Castleford at Home : Sat Sep 29, 2018 6:46 pm  

Four benched forwards would revert Wigan back to the clueless in attack period, they need options.

Re: Castleford at Home : Sat Sep 29, 2018 6:56 pm  

Cas have a huge pack so there’s two ways of looking at it. One is you go with four forwards to try and match it but on the other hand you could try and match it with just three bench forwards and then run Escare at the big men as they tire.

I personally think Escare has done enough these past few weeks to warrent a spot. We have second rowers who do huge minutes so we can afford to fit him on the bench and use him in a tight game to try and crack things open.

Major doubts on Shenton and junior moors for us, the latter would be a brutal blow as he's been back to his best during the 8s.


I think this will be a game too far for us, wigan the form side with so much emotion of players and coach leaving not to mention what sargy has been through, peaking at the right time, think you'll win 22 12 or something

Re: Castleford at Home : Sun Sep 30, 2018 10:44 am  

Team for me would be

Sam
Dom
Gilly
Sarge
Davies
Williams
Tommy
Romain
Powell
Benny
Greenwood
Batty
Lockers ( if fit if not then sutton)

Clubby
Sutton (if lockers plays)
Faz
Hamlin ( i actually think wane will play Tautai if he isnt banned but prefer Hamlin)

Re: Castleford at Home : Sun Sep 30, 2018 8:23 pm  

There will be facepalms aplenty if Tautai plays ahead of Hamlin.
