Not even convinced that Burgess will come straight in for Marshall (although he probably will) then probably either Isa or JT for O'Loughlin. Either way, looking strong.
Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.

Just Lockers in for Tautai for me. I wouldn’t want to lose the energy Isa offers us from the bench.
As for Marshall I just couldn’t drop him after last Friday. He was brilliant and he gives nothing but his best. He did have a hard time up against Fonua at Wembley but he’s not on his own in being physically dominated by Fonua (even a brute like Ryan Hall came out worse off against him on a couple of occasions) and I’d be loathed to shield him from playing against a bloke we know very little about. He’s more then good enough to cause the Hull winger plenty of problems of his own.
An early boot up the backside of Joe Burgess won’t harm him either. He should boss superleague this year but you always feel he needs a wind up.
Wigan Rugby Club, Best in all the Land Marching On to Wembley and Singing with the Band At Home We Are Unbeatable, Away We are Supreme So Give Us a Cheer, The Lads are Here The Wigan Rugby Team!!
Why have we taken Bateman over if he isnt fit to play? Just trying to get his negotiations signed by the look of it.
Wane said on WiganTV he recovered from injury quicker than expected. He has also been in the background training on several occasions. Wane also said he might play against Souths... in which case I fear you may be correct. Shop window time to gain a nice transfer fee.
