We need pace and better attacking options next week!
If fit
Hampshire, BJB, Lyne, Tupou, Johnstone, Jowitt, Miller, Navarette, Crowther, Kopczak, Pitts, Tanginoa, Westerman. = K Wood, Batchelor, Fifita, Green

Looks good to me. However, there’s no way Gigot won’t play.

The effort/attitude put in last night was plain for all to see, and a world away from some of our previous outings .A few rubs of the green for us instead of against us last night and we’d have put one over on them I’m sure .Its also Nice to see the enthusiasm back on their faces ,Arona /Westerman led from the front for me and really took it to Wigan .A Few wobbles at fullback ,To be expected with no game time under his belt ,but overall a massive improvement and more like the trinity we all know that have these performances in them .

Since Walker received his head injury against Bradford he's had very little game time, and looked to me to be lacking in confidence last night in my opinion, with that in mind perhaps that's why he did not play as well as he and the fans would have liked, and maybe some on here should give him the benefit of the doubt and cut him a bit of slack.

Course he does I'd have Max over Walker every time, but that's not the issue with me, Chester picked the team and like it or lump it you have to accept that, and on this occasion he picked Walker end of really, my point and it still stands is the player looked short on confidence maybe because of his lack of game time or his previous head injury, I don't think for one minute he'd be too happy with his contribution but it is what it is, and maybe some fans on here who favour Jowitt are being a bit over critical about Walker's inclusion, lets face it up until Fridays game you could have taken your pick of players to criticise.

Why does Walker not deserve his chance?

1 he’s too slow
2 he offers nothing on attack
3 he offers nothing on defence
4 you can turn a boat round quicker on his returns and shows no urgency
5 you watched on tv against hull kr last year when he caught a few balls and you love him, your big on stats well apart from Chester’s record so-go check him out.

We must have signed a different Walker from the one that played at Broncos.

Not sure what you mean by 'his record'. My understanding was that he played for LB at fullback, both in the Championship and SL under Danny Ward. I don't know much about DW, he seems to have a 'good record' and he must know his players and structures etc. Last time I heard about him, there were some on this board who wanted him as WT head-coach. Perhaps DW doesn't know as much as some.
