Wigan II the resurrection : Fri Apr 15, 2022 12:01 am  

If available and fit I would choose

Jowitt, Johnstone, Lyne, Hall, Murphy, Miller, Lino, Fifita, Kay, Aydin, Tanginoa, Batchelor, Walker… interchange Bowes, Shaw, Eseh, Adibaye

Personally I’d make all last nights failures play again and redeem themselves.

However following your logic I wouldn’t pick Tanginoa and I thought Gaskell offered way more than one trick pony Lino. But I’d certainly never play them together.

Don’t think Miller or Fifita will be available.

We have a 1 day turnaround advantage and maybe they’ll have one or 2 unavailable through suspension.

Think we need some changes and fresh legs.

I’d go… assuming miller and Fifita are fit. Hood looked like his wrist had gone.

Jowitt
Johnstone
Hall (Croft if available)
Lyne
Tanivalu

Miller
Lino

Fifita
Kay
Whitbread
Tanginoa
Batchelor
Walker

Aydin
Eseh
Adebiyi
Bowes

This would allow:

Ashurst, Pitts, Arona, Crowther, Battye in the forwards to be fresh for KR.

I don't think the disciplinary panel sit before Easter Monday.
With regard to our team selection, in the main I'm with you, except that the bench is very inexperienced.

Tanivalu adds some strength on edge. Kay more zip at 9. Tangi and batch at SR would offer more attacking threat. You g bench but more importantly energy and enthusiasm. Walker adds another good pair of hands.

A selection like this would throw a curve ball at Wigan who wouldn’t expect it.

Which Tanginoa are you watching? It much rather play Sid or even Windrow, almost anyone except Tanginoa.

As there is no time for appeal, any ban will not include the Monday games.

Re: Wigan II the resurrection : Fri Apr 15, 2022 6:50 pm  

I'd be tempted to ring the changes and when I thought about it last night my starting 13 was exactly the same as the OP funnily enough!

Then, thinking about it a little further...Tanginoa and Batchelor would look a great 2nd row pairing going forward but just wonder how vulnerable that would make us around the edges where Wigan can be deadly with the likes of French and Field...

It's got to be about freshening the team up though and bringing plenty of energy in because that's what was sadly lacking last night...

It's a free hit for us though...no-one expects us to win, which probably makes us a bit more dangerous...and on the whole we've performed better away from home this season...

Wigan had a tough game today and it will have hurt them too...we can either play on that or feel a backlash...not a lost cause though for me...

How does it work when there is no appeal?

That today is about as clear cut a ban as you can get! Player knew he'd done wrong...coach has come out and said he's done wrong...I can see a big ban coming as it was a shocker...worse than Will Pryce's for me and he copped a big one!
