Playing Russell at FB would be a huge risk - as has been commented on, WIgan would use every tactic legitimate and otherwise to unnerve a player who took a very, very, very heavy knock.

If Ratchford turns in another Cas performance, he could be the difference. Yes, the Wigan defence will be tighter but that's the reason players like Ratch are invaluable in this type of game. Unorthodox and blessed with improvisation, and even the WIgan defence would have succumbed to that offload for GOBs try.

Other than that, I'd leave well alone other than Evans for Wood. Ben may not be match fit but he's good for bench spot and Wood has been appaling - Ratch is the man who could turn a loss into a win, Wood could do the reverse on this years form.

From what has been said about the officials tonight it may not matter what team we put out there !

but he would! he'd have to run in from the other side of the pitch instead of following behind the play in centre of the field haha.

The acting half comes in from the side the ptb is made. Atkins or Evans on the left, Joel does it on the right.

Russell will come off the bench. He'll come in for the dropped Wood.

I''ll presume we'll try and get as much as we can from Harrison, before moving Ratchford to loose forward and Russell off the bench to FB.

i reckon it'll be o'brien off, bridge to six, joel to centre and russell on the wing.
