Why would you drop one of our best try scorers? Who has a pretty good strike rate and is in the England knights set up performing well for a player who has done OK? He let a try in against cas in the same fashion Tom has

I didn’t drop him, S.Price did and Mamo done enough last week to keep his place. So I’m guessing you would now drop Mamo and bring Lineham back. Btw I’m not against Lineham and never have been just would not make sense to switch them.

If Tom Lineham had signed elsewhere for next year, would you still pick him, or would you give Mamo a run of games ?

Mamo was not at fault for the Cas try in the second half. Nobody was.
Truman took the ball so far into our defensive line the defenders had to assume he was running it. He passed the ball so late there was nothing anybody could do.
The try is worth a watch again - that pass was worth the admission money alone. Sometimes the best defenders are done all ends up because of pure brilliance.

Looks like wigan will go with Tommy Leuluai at 9 which I think is his best position and Sammut in the halves.

Well if the story of him signing for Cas is true why would you not give Mamo a run to try earn an extended contract,so yes I agree with you.

Tom Lineham will just have to wait his turn. Jake Mamo now has possession of that jersey and did nothing for it to be taken away. I don't think Steve Price is in the business of benching a player and then bringing them back for the next game unless the replacement has seriously weakened the team.

Re: Squad for Wigan : Wed Mar 13, 2019 5:36 pm  

Can Lineham legally have signed a contract with anybody at this point of the season?

Re: Squad for Wigan : Wed Mar 13, 2019 5:54 pm  

Personally, i am gutted that tautai is banned and powell injured. They are both terrible and having sammut playing and leuluai at hooker makes them a lot more dangerous.

Only if we have allowed it.

We could have told him we weren’t going to renew and allowed him to negotiate early so he could sort his future out.

I'd pick the strongest team regardless.
They're both Wire players and we need to finish as high up the table as possible to give us the best chance of winning the GF.

What's the injury to Goodwin, i've completely missed this one Mamo to centre with Lineham on the wing would do for me
