Definitely out on Friday.
Manfredi, Sammut, Clubb, Flower, Farrell and Greenwood. Probably out O'Loughlin and Powell.
I could include Hamlin, but he's cooked his own tea!!!

The young forwards are going to have to do it tough

We've never finished a game all season with four fit subs, and only once got to half time in that state.

It's been a funny old year, just hope things get better.

You're still doing better than Leeds

Injuries part and parcel of the game now...isn't that why we have squads?

Wigan being champions and with such a great youth set up down the years should easily cope without 6 or 7 players and it shouldn't even be being mentioned, should it?

I'd argue we have better and more important players missing...Johnstone, Tupou, Randell, Huby, Batchelor....Kirmond and England missed last week too...little ole Wakey, not even spending up to the cap seem to be coping alright though...

What a stupid post, we’re missing our 8-13, our entire forward pack and our first choice 7 not to mention Manfredi, obviously we’re gonna struggle and I highly doubt we will beat you but hey ho

Look around you pal, there are quite a few more teams suffering as much as your club, some do it quietly others let everybody know about it, thing is I suppose is to get your excuse in first, congratulations btw you've won first prize for the best stupid post on this thread.

Do you think that he's wrong ?
Can you imagine any side competing without their starting pack ??

Yes, we all have to cope with injuries and some are easier to cover than others and yes, Trinity have some to key players but, when you see how easily Cas rolled them over in the second half of last weeks game, if you were a Pie, you would also be worried and getting your excuses in early.

Tbf to Lam, he hasn't trotted out the virus in the camp and he expects his side to be having a go.

Let's hope that we prepare expecting a visit from the reigning champions and put them to the sword and that we dont make any changes because they are down on troops.

Come on Trin !

If you can find another team that’s missing their entire first choice pack then you’re right, however you won’t so you aren’t. I’m not making excuses I’m just saying it how it is and that I don’t think we’ll win because you’ve got the biggest pack in SL and will probably steamroll us down the middle.

Re: Pies on Friday 19.45 ko : Wed Apr 10, 2019 7:46 am  

You have to wonder what the hell the Wigan medical team are doing. Granted some cant be helped like Manfredi and Sammut, yet to maybe have an entire first choice pack out does speak volumes.

Re: Pies on Friday 19.45 ko : Wed Apr 10, 2019 7:55 am  

I'm sure we won't be complacent if it's true about so many Wigan players missing, because the difference between Wigan and many other clubs is that they have players in reserve who would walk into most other SL clubs.

I takeus to win but not 62-0!
