Perhaps i should have stated pay reduction talks, as that is what i saw/read.
Highly likely i am wrong but i'm guessing as to what the team will be, and was trying to pre-empt people asking why i'd left the big man out.

Didn’t he pick up a long term injury against Cas? Along with Arundel.

That's a nice lineup.
Happy with Gigot at fullback if not Walker.
Same with Jowitt instead of Hampshire if not fit.

I have to say youth, fitness and speed will help on the first game back. Hampshire, Miller, Wood x2 will all be important as will the fitter front rows. I'd like to see Big Dave out there but I think we'll need super fit players so his debut may be a later game.

He either broke or fractured his cheek bone in the cas match

I can’t remember which, I would think that would have healed by now though
Although I am no expert


Luckily we have some experts on here’s with high degrees of medical knowledge
I will leave you to work out who they are lol

Be interesting to see how we go on Sunday.
We've had a fair amount of success in recent seasons against Wigan but, this one will come down to how well prepared everyone is and discipline.
More than ever, sides have to respect possession and not give penalties away.
We will also need to be clever with getting a breather when needed.

Agree that we need to find a spot for both Woods, running with just one #9 isn't wise.

Cant wait though, this one has been a long time coming.

Come on Trin !

Be interesting to see how this game is refereed, Wigan are probably the worst team in the league for unlawfully slowing down the ruck but it will be interesting to see if the same standard is set that was in the Saints Catalan game or if they will just let the usual slide; hands/knees in at the play the ball, players climbing around the tackled player to get to marker, players laying on.
