Anybody know if the cup will be paraded on Sunday? I've not heard anything about it.

Strongest 17 would be:

Hodgson
J.Monaghan
Ratchford
Atkins
Riley
Briers
Myler
Morley
Higham
Hill
Waterhouse
Grix
Harrison

M.Monaghan
Carvell
Wood
Blythe

But I expect-

Ratchford
J.Monaghan
Blythe
Atkins
Williams
Briers
Myler
Carvell
Higham
Wood
Waterhouse
Grix
Harrison

M.Monaghan
Morley
Hill
Bridge

If we played a weakened team and Wigan lost on Sunday, we'd kick ourselves, after Sunday fair enough !

Hodgo surely must get a rest after last weeks battering?!

Ratch
Joel Bridge Atkins Riley
Briers Myler
Hill Higham Carvell
Grix Waterhouse
Harrison

Moz Woody Monas Blythe

Hodgo & Williams miss out.

That for me too.

Well, I am

I will have to make an entry in the 'Admitting you were wrong thread'. I wonder what the thinking behind this one is ? Unless he has had a visit;

"Nice fingers Tone, shame if they got broken. Lets see a good turnout this week eh ?"

Yep, that's better. Surely no more Riley at full-back.

Can't have been Padders, Chris Bridge is in the squad.

He is a squad player so Bridge should get a game and people on the 4th to 8th row on the terraces should be ready to catch the wayward passes !
I can see him leaving as surplus to requirements that and only producing one good season since his arrival , overrated by a lot on here ! Who squirm when the truth is out !
He is RUBBISH !

PADDERS wrote:Hate is a very strong word and not a word I would say that I think of any player who has represented the famous Wire ! So no I don't and never have hated Bridge ! He has only impressed me consistently last season he has never played that well before or after that ! He my turn out to be a one season wonder and off this season's form and the injury he has I think he should think long term and have the Op now ! We have many players that can fill in for him ! He imo needs to look at Ryan Atkins and try to get within 100 miles of his constant quality if he meaning Bridge can't get to the same quality level we should look for someone who can ! That doesn't mean I hate Bridge just that I love the wire's and I want the best in every position and I believe that there are better players than Bridge in that position

I get the impression that you don't like Bridge. Leave the lad alone.

I could consult the AUP or I could just say what we're all thinking: Padders is a .

Why are you all so obsessed with Bridge ?
He's an average player nothing special , I honestly don't understand what any of you see in his play that make him the messiah centre you all pretend he is !
Please explain why you all rate him alongside the likes of Atkins Yeaman Carmont tbh I could rattle my way through all of the NRL centres and a fair few SL centres so please explain what Bridge has done at Wire to rank him WORLD CLASS ?
