Probably not going to be our year, but, as far as "wishful thinking" goes I'd prefer us to turn our fortunes around get some stability and harmony back to the club and trust that the board are constantly reviewing performance on and off the field and make appropriate arrangements for the good of the club

I'll call this season a success if we avoid the bottom 4 and get an easy passage through to the CC.

I'll take that now with relish if offered!
So back on subject, it must start vs Hull.

Wigan had 52 more play the balls than us and yet didnt score until the hour mark. If we can defend like that again obviously it will be tough for Wire.
But you have to spark at some point.

Houghton is a loss to us, in the same way Hill was for you. Not only do you miss a brilliant player & leader, but it affects the interchanges radically as these can play full games.(Hill 60 mins)

I think it will be very close, too tight to call.

I think it is very simple score first and we have a chance as every try we score without them scoring our confidence will sore, If they score first same as last week.

So.. WOLVES and Hull FC have made changes to their 19-man squads for Saturday’s clash. Tony Smith has added Ryan Atkins, George King and Joe Philbin to the 17 who featured in the loss against St Helens, while Dom Crosby misses out for personal reasons. Wolves 19: Ryan Atkins, Kevin Brown, Daryl Clark, Mike Cooper, Brad Dwyer, Rhys Evans, Kurt Gidley, Chris Hill, Jack Hughes, Jack Johnson, George King, Toby King, Harvey Livett, Joe Philbin, Stefan Ratchford, Matty Russell, Ashton Sims, Joe Westerman, Ben Westwood.

and no Savelio

I'm annoyed that Patton and savelio are missing, I can't see this one going well to be honest, Tony Smith asks Hirn players to improve every week maybe it's time he did the same, ego should not get in the way so whatever Patton has done to your pet cat Tony it's time to let go.

From what we have available:

Ratchford
Johnson
T King
Atkins
Evans (needs to be dropped as soon as someone else is available)
Gidley
Brown
Hill
Clark
Sims
Hughes
Westerman
Cooper

Dwyer
Philbin
G king
Livett

Adding savelio and Patton would help massively IMO in terms of giving us option dB and being able to removed both Evans and Russell who arent good enough.

Atkins was supposed to be out for 4/5 weeks?

He's been added to the 19 along with George King and Philbin. Crosby missing for personal reasons.

Top try scorer for team,
Dropped due to his defence,
team only manages 1 try per game against St Helens and Leigh.

was in the press yesterday he's made miraculous recovery, and in contention.

i don't think he'll play,

Atkins is a sign of desperation to me but according to the Guardian Smith has the full backing of the team according to Hilly.Well that's the kiss of death then.

we we have a young player called Litton he may surprise you
