Apparently Tautai and Flower will drop out of the 19, which is good for us as there pack was quite light weight to begin with.
I wonder how that will affect our game plan.
It's easy to say we should go with a big pack and just stream roll them but I think I might be tempted to downsize the bench so that we have good fast defenders in the team too. I certainly wouldn't put PP in the second row this time.
Bateman and Farrell are small but are good strong defenders. If they can take the hits they will run round us on attack.
I'm torn, I thik we match Wigan pretty well, but half back/pivots will be the challenge again. They have some creative players at 1, 6, 7, 9 and 13. That is where they will beat us if they are to do so. We need to show our best in that area to give our big forwards and fast backs a chance of showing their worth.
