I got the impression that a youngster would fill the final spot, however, he didn't really make it clear. He did not comment on whether Sutcliffe or Thompson would play.

I found his comment about Eastmond handling the high balls strange if he is playing half back but can't see how he cannot play half back given our lack of half back options.

I can’t find the part in the interview that mentions high balls.

But only 1 in suggests no Thompson and Sutcliffe.

I think Agar mentions it, but must mean when kicking across to the wing. There's no way he will play fullback!!

In Agar's interview he suggested Eastmond might receive a few high balls, does that suggest he might play full back tonight? Probably, simply misunderstood this!

In addition, I got the impression he was saying two out (Tetevano and King) and one in (Eastmond) with a decision to be made on the final bench spot. Be interesting what the team is if Eastmond is put at full back.

Eyeballs not High Balls!!

Maybe the high balls he was referencing was the type of passes he will get from our hookers???

Kid has only ever played RL with Cunningham and Roby providing him service. Hes in a for a shock tonight.

Yes, this I remember. As in a lot of people looking to see how he goes on.

Agar commnents this week suggest it might just be Eastmond coming in from missing senior players like others have said can see our 17 being:

Broadbent
T.Briscoe
Mellor
A.Sutcliffe
L.Briscoe
Smith
Eastmond
Oledzki
Leeming
Prior
Walters
Martin
Donaldson

Subs
Dwyer
O'Connor
Edwards
Gannon.

We're obvious underdogs again but if we have the same in enthusiasm and effort as last week hopefully we give ourselves a fighting chance.

Re: RD 3 | Wigan Warriors (H) : Thu Apr 15, 2021 3:33 pm  

Apologies, must be my poor hearing!

Yes, hope we have the same heart and fight as last week. If so, I will be happy regardless of the score.
