Either centre could easily be replaced after last Friday. Of course one wont be so Turner will be under pressure.

on the plus side this isn't his first trip from aus to the uk, so he will be aware of the time differences, how to cope with jet lag etc

We'll never have better chance imo

Re: Wigan next... : Mon Mar 07, 2011 5:41 pm  

if we can stay with them for that first 25 minutes or so when they try to blow teams away we might have a chance. we need all the obvious things like good discipline, plenty of possession and a low error count to stay in the game. also we need lady luck on our side, and for wigan to be a bit out of form.

if we then take our chances we might come away with the 2 points

any more cliches?

Phelps (if fit)
Sharp
Whiting
Yeaman
Briscoe
Horne
Obst
O'Meley
Houghton
Radford
Tickle
Manu
Fitz

Turner
Moa
Lauaki
Westerman

get Turner up the middle off the bench, hes a loose forward at best, hes too exposed out wide and we had enough of that last year with Craig Hall tackling fresh air

On the one hand I agree, as they have loads of injuries and we have precious few. On the other, recent results suggest keeping the margin to 40 points is a moral victory. Is Fielden playing?

Re: Wigan next... : Mon Mar 07, 2011 6:25 pm  

On paper the toughest game of the season.

A victory would be a huge boost, however I'd be happy with a committed performance, solid defence and enterprise in attack.
