Wigan -

S. Tomkins, Charnley, Goulding, Carmont, Finch, Leuluai, Prescott, McIlorum, Hansen, Hock, Lima, Tuson, Lauaki, Dudson, Gelling, Mellor, Hughes, L. Tomkins, Spencer.

I cannot understand why James who has represented England in his youth & has a super league background (and is a specialist prop, one of only 2 at the club) has not been chosen...crazy. Sell him if you're not going to use him.



I wonder if R.A. is looking for inspiration? This squad will need it against that Wigan squad.



When written in Chinese the word "crisis" is composed of two characters - one represents danger and the other represents opportunity. ~John F. Kennedy, address, 12 April 1959

With that Wigan team we are going to get SPANKED and our Arses handed to us

Sums up my view perfectly

What price Hock doesn't have to play the ball once??

That squad is ridiculous! No offence to a lot of those youngsters who are more than capable but why is it 'all or none' with regard to changes. All season he's stuck with virtually the same 17, reluctant to make any changes and when he's put a youngster on the bench he's used them for 5 minutes.



Now, it seems like there is an alterior motive behind picking so many who haven't played first team for about 9 months. Anyways, I hope a lot of these lads take their chance but we all know regardless of the result he'll revert to his usual 17 for the game after

I hope there is a typing error on the website and they've confused Spiers somehow with James who should be on the bench? Also I think Kay at 6 for his season debut against Wigan is crazy. Wood at 6 & Wildie at 7 should be the right half back combination.





Hope its another repeat of the Warrington match. Come on dreadnoughts prove everyone wrong!

Limited options here it would have been nice to have a few more to chose from and productive to rest a few. On a positive note we will at least be able to see Ellis and if Wildie and co have developed.





1. Tony, - Waited patiently

2. Fox,

3. Sykes,- More time to get to know the squad

4. Walshaw, -Seen a bit and heard a lot more.

5. Cowling -



6. John,

7. Wood,



8 Wilkes,

9. Ellis, - Well overdue a shot

10. Amor,

11 Johnson

12. Mariano -

13. Washbrook,



14. Wildie,

15. Trout.

16. Spiers,

17. Southern,- Would have liked to rest him but







Mellars hasn't looked a patch of what he he did at Crusaders.

Kay - Another half back too many at the moment.

I'd keep mellars in centres even though he's done bugger all... That would leave Walshaw to replace the non - existant southen

I hope that Ellis, Tony & Mariano rip it up...well put in grand performances.



Saying that RA will choose his favourites again for next week even if they did rip it up!

Kay & Cowling to miss out for me.

Sorry Agar is a complete buffoon 6 kids in one squad first start for Ellis Tony first game back for Frankie its madness



3 of Wildie/Cowling/Kay/Walshaw/Spiers/Trout should have played last night with Ellis you do not throw all the kids into a game like Wigan away

I assume James is injured because Spiers is not ready for SL



please just do one Agar
