Not sure I'd pick Johnson for this. Up against some streetwise roughs and with no halves I think Dwyer starting and a bench filled with whatever battlers we can muster might be our best chance. Couple of scooted tries from Dwyer and a couple of magic moments from Newman - why, the win's almost a cert

We’re certainly underdogs and I’m expecting Wigan to win but this side should be able to put a decent effort in against Wigan, it’s not like it’s stacked full of young kids.

Hardaker
Fusitua
Newman

Ayden/Mustapha/O’Connor/Johnson

Wouldn`t have thought so.
He came back on the field so presumably passed the HIA.

Bookies giving us 12 points start, after seeing how many 1st choice players we are missing I think my money goes on the Pies!

I mean dispite the players still missing its not a bad line up, 1-5 pretty much strongest we have, myler at 6 johnson at 7 seems most likely halfs with Sinfield on bench. Its just going with only 1 prop again thats the issue.
But I don’t think its the gimme for Wigan that some are expecting, the odds are in their favour, but wouldn't surprise me if we got the result.

Has Johnson shown anything at half yet? From the game two weeks ago, he appeared very anonymous.

Just watched the highlights of Hull v Pies and Wigan's attack looked very very good!

So did ours!
Hull can make looks deceiving at the moment....

Just watched the Magic game back and is Priors suspension for the tackle on Richardson the one that Phil Clarke says " there's nothing wrong with that?" Surely not?

Yes that’s the one.

If Wigan show up with the cocky attitude that they’re going to walk it and we go out all guns blazing we could get a result. I don’t think we will, but we’ve got an outside chance.

We'll need the halfbacks to do generate a lot more than last week to have any chance. Even more difficult with no Leeming. I just can't see us scoring enough with that team.
