problem for taylor is that graham and hill are probable starters, then you have the burgess twins. i personally would have taylor in instead of tom but reckon bennett will go for the aforementioned props

Lomax
McGilvary
Watkins
Percival
Hall
Williams
Widdop
Hill
Hodgson
Graham
Whitehead
Bateman
Burgess S

Farrell
Clark
Burgess T
Taylor

For next week

Gale for Williams, and G Burgess for Farrell and that's my team

Most of the time you don't want spin on the ball. Most of Widdop's passes tonight were to Lomax out the back, him spinning this makes it a much harder pass for Lomax to catch in a good position to pass it on again.

Watch the highlights from today's game. Widdop's pass to Lomax in the first try there is no spin on it, meaning Lomax can move it on more accurately and faster (because it's easier to catch it in a better grip). Widdop's pass to Hall for the try to take us 22-6 up was span because it didn't need to be moved on once Hall caught it. It's a sign of a bad playmaker for them to spin every pass.

I'd go with that with the exception of Sarginson for Percival, as I think Sarge's work rate is going to be particularly important against tougher defences. I'd also start Farrell on the left with Bateman on the bench.

So just more Wigan players then!

Percival should start

Gale for Widdop would be the bolder call, but unfortunately I can't see WB going for that.

Strange that Gale played on the right when he has been selected after doing so well on the left.
If Bennett has decided that Widdop is playing on the left, Williams is better down the right edge than Gale.
Personally, I'd play Gale on the left and Williams on the right.
However, I'm guessing Widdop's experience against much better opposition in the NRL will see him selected.

Williams is a left edge half too.

Our forward options are excellent, with some pressure on all players to perform.
Really looking forward to the Kiwi game, a full house at the Galpharm and it should be a cracker !

He attacks the right edge far more than Gale from what I have seen (which is not every week). Often, it's the Williams/Bateman/Gelling link that works down the right edge for Wigan.
As a Cas supporter I'd love to see Gale up against the Kiwis and Australians. However, I think he is less effective than Williams if playing in the right edge.
Personally, I'd go with Gale and Williams, but think Widdop will get the nod due to his experience in the NRL.

How many test-match tries are scored from a kick?

I agree with that team..

Except I'd substitute Lomax, McGilvary, Percival, Williams, Widdop, Hill, Hodgson, Graham, Whitehead, Bateman, Burgess S, Farrell, Clark, Burgess T, Taylor for leeds players.

I support Leeds.

Do you want us to finish bottom of the group?
