Bookies have us with a +14 start on the handicap...

Hope Gilmore plays well for you.

No cordoba. Riley. Thackeray
Looks very light up front

Was just thinking that myself . And a couple of young forwards in there. Still I don't think Hendo got much choice . Maybe it's forwards he will be looking for when he was talking to Rammo about areas he has looked at and where on when he can go out and look for them.

Does anyone know what is up with Cordoba, or how long he might be out for. As for Riley I think Hendo said he should be back soon.

Young forwards they may be but both Erjon and Jon Wallace really put it in at Leigh. In particular Jon Wallace's second spell was simply outstanding. Bring it on!

4 Wigan players will be turning out for Workington on Duel registration. Including Logan Tomkins & Joe Burgess!!

Not what I wanted to hear.......

Ouch, still when the going gets tough...

Can anyone tell me why we announce our 19 to the world on a Friday afternoon and the other teams don't. It seems to me that be doing so you are giving the other teams coach the heads up so can plan.

I mean and I may have this wrong but when we did this again Donnie they asked hull for a couple of loaders. And now workington suddenly got 4 coming in from Wigan, two I think were in the 19 for the case game.

I don't know the rules so can someone explain . As I said I don't know them but I just find it odd we do this but the others don't, not even on their websites

This is the 19 in the Workington Town squad announced to the RFL (no Burgess here)

Ritson, Forrester, Duerden, Whiteley, Forber, Mattinson, Shackley, B. Phillips, Stack, Scholey, Olstrum, Horton, Fifita, Walker, Tomkins, Farrell, Tierney, Doran, Murphy

Think the rules are the same for the top 3 tiers you must submit to the RFL a 19 man team 48 hours before kickoff. Changes after that are possible but require doctors certificates.

The reason Town have had to call on Wigan players is because out of a squad of 24 we have 9 out injured. Burgess is in our team because we had Manfredi covering for one of our injured players but he got called in to Wigans first team last night and Burgess was put with us. Connor Farrell played 16 games for us last season and Lewis Tierney played 11 or 12. All the Wigan players were in the list sent to RFL 48 hours before the kick-off time. It is up to clubs if they want to publicly announce their squads but you will find them on the RFL website fixtures page by clicking on the Preview button "P" so there is no mystery about it.

It was only a mystery to me as I was unsure of the rules for naming the 19 and being allowed to add to it before game time. But now you have explained I get it now.

Isn't Lewis Tierney, Jason Robinson 's son. I heard good things about him before but he doesn't seem to get time in the Wigan first team squad.

Yes he is and I don't know why he doesn't get more game time at Wigan but if we can have him instead I wont complain. We have a fairly big mobile pack of forwards so if we can get these backs moving it could be quite an interesting game tomorrow.

Dont worry Wigan are playing poor at the moment and could be down with us later in the year.

FT 34-16.
Tough one at Whitehaven next week even though they've not won one yet.
