I would have expected him to play in the CC game anyway.



One thing is nice tho it's been a long, long time since big injuries like this have got me excited about seeing the next big Wigan talent get his chance.

True, id prefer to be at full strength for Saints and then rest the needy vs Wakey and give some young guns a run in the CC.

Bad news for the lad, he's a cracking player. With the turn around at the club though I'm confident somebody will take the opportunity with both hands.

It's a blow but what a great opportunity for Liam Farrell. I've been itching to watch him play first team for a while now and he will surely get a chance of the Easter period.

Shamme for H but back row is probably were we're strongest in the squad iwth Joel, Bails and Mossop already esablished and Farrell and Tuson ready to be recalled if needed so although it's not great to say it he shouldn't really be missed

Hansen before Bailey everytime for me. Does just as much, if not more in defence, and at least gets a few more metres offensively as well.

It was only a matter of time before we picked up a key injury. This opens the door for somebody though, players will be busting a gut to take his place with how well the team is performing at present. Get well soon HH

I'd agree with you there mate but I'm just saying that Hansen being missing doesn't leave a gaping hole in our pack and we're still pretty well balanced at second rows without him there. If HH was fit I reckon he'd be in before Bailey most of the time

Joel, Bailey & Mossop to need to step up that bit more with Farrell likely to get some game time as well.

Farrell's already been recalled hasn't he? I'm sure somebody mentioned that he was warming up with the team before the game on Friday?

Not being picky, but isn't the point of a dual contract that he doesn't have to be recalled? He can only play for Widnes if he isn't wanted by us that weekend, but could then go straight back the week after? So if we were playing on the Friday and he was 18th man, couldn't he still play for Widnes on the Sat/Sun for example?

He was, and he didn't play in Widnes's game v Dewsbury at the weekend.
