Re: Bored with GW so team v HKR : Thu Jun 17, 2021 12:56 pm  

https://wiganwarriors.com/blog/2021/06/ ... formation/ Advised arrival times ranging from 90 minutes before kick-off to kick-off time. I know it's our first home game but surely it doesn't take that long to get just over 1,500 fans into each stand? You wouldn't mind it if they were selling beer in the ground

If true, I wonder who was the last player before him who had started at both hooker and full back for us during his career. I can remember Powell shifting to FB during a game but he didn't start there. Can't think of anyone else since I've been watching.

I’d have probably gone Smith for a bit of extra pace but I like that move if true. He’s certainly confident enough to deal with the pressure of taking in kicks and he’ll get a bit of freedoms to run the ball and create.

Not a bad option, he’ll enjoy the challenge.

Did Henry Paul ever play both those spots? I know he started at hooker for New Zealand at least once, not sure if he ever did for Wigan though.

So much of the game now is the FB organising the defensive line so the opposition can't get an overlap - will be interesting to see how he copes with that.

Looks like Manfredi is injured. Again

Re: Bored with GW so team v HKR : Fri Jun 18, 2021 5:38 pm  

Despite the injuries the team we have selected is more than good enough to beat HKR. They are a good side though so I don’t expect a landslide victory but I’d expect a victory all the same.

Hastings at FB is an interesting one, looking forward to seeing how that works out. Also glad to see KPP get another opportunity, he’s impressed me each time he’s played.

Really need Singo and Bullock to get us a good starting platform tonight and get us on the front foot. If we can’t get meters then dominate their pack in D and knock the enthusiasm out of them.
