Hall

Lyne
Jowitt

Sammut
Smith

Scruton
McShane
Smith
Kirmond
Lauitiiti
Washbrook

Simon
Ryan
Hand
Moules

If were intent of giving youth a chance, let's give Brad Moules 10-15 mins in each half to spell McShane, instead of putting Washbrook (a square peg) into dummy half (round hole).

Is lyne still injured?

Re: Team for Wigan : Tue Mar 24, 2015 12:57 pm  

Yes Hall is the best option but we cannot play Miller ever again until someone has taught him how to tackle. He does not lack heart he just needs coaching . Anybody who was at the pre season friendly against Hull and watched Jordan Thompson run straight through him three times would know that he needed to sort out a technigue that has a chance. He needs to copy Burrow and Dany Brough who always move forward in the tackle and get good shoulder contact, they also always go low. Miller plants himself on his heels, he has no chance. Untill its sorted he should not play as his confidence will get shot to pieces. The Hull fans knew he was poor, he has a chance for a new start. He needs looking after

Craig Hall does have some handing errors however I feel he is safe from returns, catching on the full etc.

Now I know Craig Hall is in great form at full back and some will say leave him there but he is an accomplished Stand Off and we have an exciting young full back at the club in the form of Max Jowitt.

At least in the short term it could help us gain some attacking edge until we get some injuries cleared up. With Tom Johnstone on the wing instead of Owen we would suddenly have a very attack minded and fast backline.
