Atkins Ankle is in a cast so it's unlikely he'll feature. Expect Bridge and Ratchford to play centre and Myler and GOB to continue in the halves.

why name Atkins in the 19 if his leg is in a cast? Doesn't make sense.

That's a good question. Keeps the opposition guessing perhaps? Wigan would be be preparing for Atkins.

We need Currie and Laithwaite to match the aggression of the wigan back row of Farrell,SOL and Bateman. If they start to get dominated out wide then it could be a long night. I just hope we can match their intensity. I don't like some of their tactics but they have mongrel in them and they keep it going for the full 80. Attach and BRIDGE need to play their part in some aggressive defence as well.

Keep eyes on Powell for the very latest in "third man at the knees" tactics.

I noticed that last week too.

And Farrell was [iincredibly[/i slow getting off the tackle.

Often finding himself 'accidentally' behind the PTB with his hands up so as to not get penalised but all the while slowing it down anyway.

Utterly deliberate.

Yea. What a b*****d.

And so it proved.
