Wigan away : Sat Mar 11, 2017 11:20 am  

Wigan without Tomkins, Gildart, Mandredi, Burgess, Tierney, Bateman, McIlorum and Sutton For game against us.

Ferguson to return for us?

Mamo, Lawrence and Symonds still missing.

Expecting to lose no matter who is on the field for us so just a better performance leading into the Leeds game will do.

If Seb and Taai got injured at the moment we would be in a world of trouble more than we are now.

How far is Mamo off now surely can't be too much longer?

Re: Wigan away : Sat Mar 11, 2017 11:38 am  

easy game this

will we get a response from the lads???? will we score a try.... that would at least be something positive...would brough convert the try???!!!

ferguson back

mamo prob another 2-3 weeks off, obviously will still need time even when he does make his debut, like wakeman, actually thought wakeman had his best game for us lastnight but thats not been hard.

swap clough for mason

No idea whats going on with Mason as there is no news regarding him at all honestly thought he would be a regular this season after last year and another pre season under his belt. Rumours hes injured and rumours he is out of favour - never know what to believe.

stone is certainnly giving wakeman and clough a good run to prove themselves, so far not producing

Re: Wigan away : Sat Mar 11, 2017 11:52 am  

1. Darnell
2. Jerry
3. Leroy
4. Mellor
5. Ormsby
6. Brough
7. Gaskell
8. Rapira
9. Leeming
10. Ikahihifo
11. Roberts
12. Ferguson
13. Hinchliffe

14. Wakeman
15. Taai
16. Smith
17. Brierley

Like to see Ormsby replace Murphy on the wing as I think Murph has been terrible all season apart from Widnes.

Taai moved to prop if Ferguson is back in the 2nd row.

Start with Brough and Gaskell in halves and if not working try Gaskell with Brierley.

Have nothing to lose this week really as expecting another loss and so are most people.

Re: Wigan away : Mon Mar 13, 2017 4:48 pm  

ikahihifo charged with grade a offence by the rfl

miss this game then???

Re: Wigan away : Mon Mar 13, 2017 4:56 pm  

No he has an EGP available

Re: Wigan away : Wed Mar 15, 2017 10:55 am  

Hope he has Ukuma running the middle channels again.Wasted on an edge now,outstanding at prop early games, and doesn't pick good decoy lines as a back row.

Those who want to drop Brough what about losing his edge defence,not to mention normally one 40/20,spiral bombs etc.

Stone is sending them out to play structure on attack,but they are not executing.Hoping this will improve week on week now.As someone stated Symonds is a big loss in terms of structure,typical Aus back row knows how and when to run decoy lines.

It won't happen,but I wouldn't mind seeing Hinchcliffe moving to 7, predicting he could play pivot,and he would provide steel to the right edge 'd' Looked a bit off the pace physically in the Wakefield game when middle channels/loose forward which a concern.

Then suppose we are looking at a bench option to spell Leeming.

Finally,hoping the interchange forwards can step up their efforts at trying to dominate rucks,otherwise it could be a another big disappointment on the back of the last two rounds.

Re: Wigan away : Wed Mar 15, 2017 12:49 pm  

the sooner symonds is back the better

can have taai and ikahihifo back as props with rapira off the bench which would be better than clough at the moment , wakeman slowly finding his feet

ferguson would help too if back

just be happy to score a try this week!! attack cant be any worse than last time out, hopefully been working hard on it

Re: Wigan away : Wed Mar 15, 2017 2:31 pm  

I'm feeling positive about this game. Maybe not for the result but I think we'll try and push Wigan. Hopefully could kick start our season. Wigan are due a loss.
