This is always a tough game for us and a place we struggle to win with a full team and Wigan low on bodies so i dont expect much here. A decent showing and no more injuries would do me.

Re: RD 23 | Wigan Warriors v Leeds Rhinos : Sat Jul 15, 2017 5:21 pm  

Even with the injuries, I reckon we can turn them over.

Can't really see much room for manoeuvre wrt to team selection next week. Watkins will come back in that'll free Ward up to return to the forwards (McDermott said he should be ok to go for next week despite failing his head test last night). Shouldn't go with both Lilley and Walker on the bench again so either one has to be dropped or you could even give Moon a well earned week off before the SF I suppose. Personally I'd go as strong as possible, cementing a gap in 2nd spot will be handy especially if we reach Wembley as we've seen that we struggle the weeks after so a 6pts+ gap would be good.

Golding
Briscoe
Watkins
Keinhorst
Hall
McGuire
Moon (Lilley)
Cuthbertson
Parcell
Singleton
Ward
Ablett
JJB

Garbutt
Mullally
Lilley (Walker)
Ormondroyd/Baldwinson

I think we will be fortunate to have both Ward and Hall available. Ward failed the head test and that usually means missing the next match

maybe, but isnt it usually because the next game is within the mandatory 6 day period?

Yes it is 6 days plus the day of concussion (day zero). For U19s it is 7 days and U16 14 days. No contact practice before 5 days and there has to be a Return to Play test before being allowed to play again.

So barring any last minute changes there will be at least one debutant. Exciting to see so much young talent in the squad, I doubt we'll come away with any points but this will be valuable experience for a lot of them.

With second place sealed for the Super Eights, I would definitely look at resting a few of the lads with an eye on the semi final.

Galloway out, Ward & Hall facing concussion tests through the week. Ferres, Sutcliffe, Burrow, Delaney all out with injuries, I would call back Oledzki & Smith from the Bulls & Baldwinson & Ormondroyd from duel registration. There

Walker
Golding Keinhorst Watkins Briscoe
Mcguire Moon
Singleton Parcell Garbutt
JJB Ablett
Cuthbertson

Mullally Baldwinson Oledzki Ormondroyd / Smith / A Sutcliffe.

Besides looking at the fixtures on the super eight fixtures thread, we could afford to lose v Wigan and get a better run in in the eights.

Well I was correct on the resting a few but not as many as above, the youngsters will be chuffed!

Walker; Golding Keinhorst Newman Briscoe; Moon Lilley; Mullally Parcell Garbutt; JJB Ablett; Baldwinson. Oledzki Ormondroyd Smith JJR/Whiteley/Sutcliffe

Or

Walker; Briscoe Keinhorst Ablett Golding; Moon Lilley; Mullally Parcell Garbutt; JJB Ormondroyd; Baldwinson. Oledzki Smith Whiteley Sutcliffe/JJR.
