Definitely. If we don't stop the rot in this game things are only going to get tougher with trips to Catalans, Saints and Wire still to come.

As for the team I'd go the same again. Give Lockers another week and bring him in at home against HKR.

It was only a few seasons ago that we always got results on the road but struggled at home.

Strange how quickly things change.

For 75 - 0 you get sod all.

Wigan had eight in a row

Re: Wakey away ! : Mon Apr 20, 2015 12:11 pm  
I'd like to see Bowen get a game and Hampshire at #6 for this one.

On the way out of the game on Thursday I spoke to Mickey Mac and said "You didn't want to come off did you"? He replied that he couldn't remember and when I said that I though he was going to "chin" dr. Brooks and said he had no idea what had happened.

So with that in mind it could be a good idea to give him a week off and have either Williams or Powell on the bench to cover the hooker/halfback role.

Lockers not expected to be fit. Wouldn't risk McIlorum. I would go:

Bowen
Manfredi
Gelling
Sarge
Burgess
Hampshire
Smith
Flower
Williams
Mossop
Tomkins
Farrell
Bateman

Clubb
Tautai
Tomkins
Crosby

I wouldn't move Williams from six just after his best couple of displays of the season.

Neither would I. Before the Catalans game I thought it was worth a look to see Rocky at 6 with Williams interchanging McIlorum. But it seems counter productive to do that now Williams is growing in the 6 role. There are obvious questions about Rocky's ability under the high ball but our attack is so much more dangerous with him at fullback. I wouldn't risk McIlorum this week.

For Wakey I'd go:

Hampshire
Manfredi
Gelling
Sarg
Burgess
Williams
Smith
Crosby
Logan
Mossop
Farrell
Joel
Bateman

Flower
Tautai
Clubb
Powell/Bowen

I'd have had Hampshire at 6 from the first game of the season and up until the Catalan game my opinion hadn't changed but it has now. The side is settled and playing good rugby again and to me that stems from Hampshire being at full back.

Long term I see Hampshire at 6 but for the remainder of this season he should stay at full back.

I said after last weeks game against the "Wolfs" that Rocky should be at standoff for the Waky match, one reason was because we could see Rocky at standoff against what should be weaker opposition and the other is we have to give Bowen a game because if we don't he will not have played for about four weeks.
Now Nicky says we should not move Williams from six after his recent displays, Nicky said this in all sincerity but that was based on the modern game.
I personally don't think that Wigan have a No 6 and No 7, what I think is we have an acting halfback (MM) with a right sided halfback in Smith and a left sided halfback in Williams. (and never the twain shall meet, if you know what I mean).
In the game Wigan play, how many times have you seen Smith put Williams through a gap and visa versa, so it should not make any difference in the game putting Rocky at 6 and Williams at 7.

I would like an observation about this from someone who watched them all through their junior rugby, did they play together as left and right halfbacks or did they play as halfbacks used to play, as partners who could appear anywhere on the pitch.
If they played the modern game who of the two played left and who played right? .

I have now noticed that the name props is now out of fashion in R/L, we now have middles.????. :lol:

I'd be happy with that. Also, I hope Wakey bomb the hell out of Hampshire to give him a chance to get rid of any demons he may have.
