Missing Roberts, Minikin, Webster, Gale, Moors I think. 1, 2, 3, 7, 8.

Like I said they had a pretty good side out and barring Gale I don't think they missed any of them

playing rovers is hardly a stern test of your weaker squad members though

Wigan might not be as safe in the top 4 as we thought. The club seems to be falling apart at the seams with Wanes announcement. The Tomkins brothers video that is doing the rounds makes Kelly look like a gentleman. Players are announcing they are leaving left, right and centre. And on the field that's over 2 and a half hours without a try. With our respective fixtures over the next month we would be breathing down their necks very soon

Wigan really do seem unsettled, wonder if there's more than meets the eye with Wane leaving. Anyone we could sign from them for 2019?

The thought did cross my mind that they might lose their way but unlikely I'd have thought. It will be interesting to see the response.

Not really anyone that would improve us in the positions we would be looking at. Their only good prop is Sutton and he is off the the NRL. I would find a place for Bateman but I reckon he will head down under too.

Yes it will. Their fixtures for the rest of the season look really tricky. They play all of the current top 8 and then Catalans in round 23 when they may need a win to make the 8, plus they are having to shoe horn in their game in hand v Cas during the international break, so will be shorn of a few stars for that one.

It makes our game against them in a couple of weeks really important. If we can turn them over and avoid slip ups against Salford and Widnes you have to say we have every chance of overtaking them.

The media response to rectumgate will be interesting. The woman who appears to be manhandled in the video has reportedly said on Facebook that money changed hands to delete the video..
