Sam T, Joel, Mossop, Mandredi, Clubb, O'Loughlin, McIlorum.

Still think we can do it. But that is a lot of key players to have out.

Think what's stopping FC at the moment is a mental thing. The team on paper looks quality.

Grasping at straws a little. You've not had McIlorum all year pretty much so going with Powell who had played all year and got you to 2nd.
Joel had missed vast majority. Mossop is poop. Sam T has lost his bottle and Lockers not playing helps you as you won't give away half as many penalties

Pain has gone away, however yours will continue at around 10pm Friday evening

But there'll be more FC fans there to clap the boys off than you had at Donny.

Confirmed on Wigan's website - Tomkins and O'Loughlin to miss Friday and likely out for the rest of the season.

We need to stop allowing the oppostion to make easy metres by standing and waiting instead of pushing up to meet them like we have done in the last half dozen games as by standing and waiting we let them have 10m then another 5 to 10M due to losing the collision.

I am still not convinced CT is helping playing at 6, individually can't fault him but for me his link up play is very much lacking which for me is an important part of the role of being a stand off.

AS someone just said to me if Tomkins is out who will be refereeing the game on Friday?

Yeh someone said he'd be pumped up for it by Friday, although I thought he already was!

Deary me Wilf, if he's not in the team, it leaves him clear to referee, just won't be able to keep up but what official can.

We (Wigan) played some damn good stuff on Friday, easily the best "rugby" we've seen all season.
Hopefully we'll carry on with this style next Friday and not go back into our shells.
Have a safe trip everyone who's coming.
