And considering who made it there have been a few contenders.

(That's a joke Padders, I love you really)

It's not rocket science to work out I don't rate Bridge ! He has had one good season at Wire but hasn't impressed me since I had started to warm to him but sadly he didn't kick on and reverted back to his poor distribution and defence ! So imo he's ok as backup for Ratchford but needs a lot of work to take the position back and make it his own again ! He will get his chances when Hodgson has his rests through the season and Ratchford reverts to fullback and I hope he plays well and forges his way back into the first choice Squad !

I'm a believer in Chris Bridge, f*cking hallelujah. Bad season last time out but will hopefully return to form and fitness this year.

My team would be
Brett
Riley
Atkins
Evans
Moans j
Briers
Myler
Hill
Moans m
CARVELL
Westwood
Coops
Harrison

Ratch to come on at ht to replace Brett and GOB to replace briers

I'm just pleased to be watching the Wire again, the inclusion of pretty much all of the 1st team is a bonus.

how does anybody know that Chris Bridge is not a first choice centre for us when fit?

I don't recall Tony Smith coming out and saying that he is now only a back up?

I think it is obviuos that we have got a very strong depth to our squad but I would certainly not write off Chris Bridge just yet.

No Sam Tomkins for them according to their board.

Wigan Warriors Squad;

Jack Murphy, Josh Charnley, Darrell Goulding, Jack Hughes, Pat Richards, Blake Green, Matty Smith, Lee Mossop, Logan Tomkins, Paul Prescott, Liam Farrell, Anthony Gelling, Ben Flower, Gil Dudson, Epalahame Lauaki, Michael McIlorum, Greg Burke, Iain Thornley, Scott Taylor, Dom Crosby, Sam Powell, Tom Spencer, Lewis Tierney.

Wane said a week ago there would be no Tomkins. They need him fit for as much of the season as possible, else they'll be nowhere this year.

Whilst I'm a little worried we haven't signed anyone for this year, and our star men are all a year older , I take great heart that both out main rivals are seriously reliant on one 'star man'.

as we can all see its snowing and looking at the forcast its here till around 4/5am in morning so isnt looking good for the game

How much are the ticket prices?

If it's priced like Jon Wilkin's I will be giving it a miss...

£13
