Asking Adam Brook to start in the halves away at the champions is a bit too much to ask in my opinion. !

In the general swing of things I'd probably agree but, as things are, he's not going to be weighed down with over the top expectations. I'm sure he's got his own personal goals but there's no-one in the stands, nor I guess in the dug-out, going to criticise whatever happens - he may as well just enjoy it.

We had no chance anyway so why not give the young ones a run out? I would not risk anyone who is not 100% either.
What is wrong with Foster? Still I'll? He has been ill a long time.

Brook played for 19s today so unless anyone fails fitness tests I doubt he would play Monday. Did ferguson pick up an injury, don't recall hearing anything about one. Looks more likely that it will be Gale & Addy in the halves on Monday. Not looking forward to it one bit.

Re: Squad announced for Wigan : Sat Apr 19, 2014 7:29 pm  

Yes agreed. Wigan by 70.

Re: Squad announced for Wigan : Sat Apr 19, 2014 8:06 pm  

wigan wont win by more than 36..... they will leave gas in the tank for the next game, we haven't played for the full 80 apart from against stains and wire.

Looks like 7 of the first choice 17 are out injured or resting.
Bowen
Charnely
Thornley
Green
Flower
Crosby
Pettybourne

I think you have a chance tomorrow. Wane admitted we have been building and working towards the St Helens game for 3 weeks. I think we could be a bit flat on Monday. If you start well and build a bit of confidence it could be a close game.

Even if Wigan are flat, they won't be anywhere near as flat as we were on Thursday. It's not the lack of quality that's got the fans down and dreading an absolute tonking, it's the complete lack of fire and passion the team has at the moment.

Bateman played well for Wigan. It was all just a matter of keeping him out of Holmewood in an evening to fulfil his potential. He needed the move. Shame he was sold during the time of whitcut, as Wigan got him cheap.

I was saying earlier today, we've pinched this kid at the price we got him. The injuries he had in the past couple of years and your situation knocked the price right down which is a real shame for you guys.

The lad had been rested quite a bit so far but has played all the big games and he just oozes class. He's incredibly strong for the size of him and pretty quick. He also looks a natural leader to me which is a surprise when you consider that he doesn't seem the sharpest knife in the draw.

He's got a huge future in the game.
