Briscoe.

Things start to look much more convenient. I’d back us with this squad personally.

We need to be careful with Gannon. He’s carrying a shoulder injury and he’s so young.

We should take the longer view with him.

If that’s the case then move Donaldson into the starting spot, with Dwyer, Holroyd, Oledzki, Thompson or Vuniyayawa on the bench

Just have to hope the returning players are fit and ready to play. If so its strongest weve been for a while.

The club are now running coaches to Wigan.

Good.

Be a few Bob theydve missed out on.

I’m very excited for this one. Wigan still have a couple of injury issues and are sometimes struggling to score points. With our players back, I think we could do the job and get the win, all being well.

I think with a couple more back providing they are fit enough of course we certainly have a chance which is a long way from where I thought we would be.
If we do win and assume Wire do the same it`s over to France which again is winnable if we don`t let them bully us this time.
GF against Saints and we win it from 5th again.
Or maybe it`s all a dream.

Given the home advantage Wigan must start favourites, but you never know, if we have the majority of our lads back we could bully them in a similar fashion to last year's cup semi. Noticed that Saints placed a very weakened team against Salford on Friday and will have no match this week. Could come back to haunt them in a knock out semi against ( in all probability) Warrington.

Interesting that the club has put a tweet out saying some troops back as a teaser with images of

Tetevaon
Luke Gale
King V
Alex Mellor

And

Jack Walker?

Warmed up last week. Must say that I did think he looked more robust than previous iterations, but would be amazed if he made the 17.

James Graham comes out of retirement especially for this one and has another good cry.
