I agree with Micky Mac at 13 but I'd play Williams at 9 and Powell and Hampshire in the halves. I'd put Green or Smith on the bench

You will d1ck us

Clubb should only play at prop.
Mac or Green could play at 13, though I much prefer Mac at 9, and think the defensive work would be too much for Green.
I had thought that Bateman had played there a fair bit (and yet he doesn't look the part so far). Hughes should play second row, as could Gelling.
So...
Bowen - Manfredi - Goulding - Sarginson - Burgess - Green - Smith
Taylor - Mac - Clubb - Hughes - Gelling - Bateman
Dudson - Williams - James - Farrell

(If Eddie is fit, I'd play him at 12, and drop Gelling to the bench).

Listening to Wane on Wigan TV we are missing Bowen, Hampshire & Tierney so no full back. Charnley, Thornley, Flower, Pettybourne, Farrell, SOL and Burke so short on numbers.

Sarginson

Manfredi
Goulding
Gelling
Burgess

Green
Smith

Crosby
Williams/Powell
Taylor
Bateman
Hughes
MM

Clubb
James
Dudson
Lever

He did mention Sutton and/or Austin may play

Just send the players wives and girlfriends that will be enough to beat us at the moment

or the cleaners and tea ladies

Not sure how you can say Flower at LF didn't work, did you forget how we got the grand final last year? Flower was our man of the match at loose against Hudds in the play offs IMO. Green defending at loose would be a disaster, he struggles at stand off

Time to bring Radlinski back, he's had a good long rest now...

And would play for free (again

)

I had you as clear favorites, but with your injuries the game is 50/50 IMO, I hope for a reaction to our loss last week and we usually win one, lose one. The Wigan side still looks a good exciting side, the average age of that squad but be very low and you know that Wane will have them fired up. one of the most impressive things about Wigan is the way the young players seem to slot into the systems so well and not look out of place.

At Hull we are slowly getting there with our young player.

Keep an eye out for the slim, fit Feka, i'm sure he will get a good reaction from your fans.

Because one good game from that position doesn't mean it works. How many good games has he had from prop? Practically all of them! Flower is an excellent player; in fact one of the first names on the team sheet I would imagine, and will always 'do a job'. You could argue that Clubb did the same against Leeds. However, that I not the answer to our conundrum when Lockers doesn't play. Makeshift is not the long term answer given he is injured more and more these days. We need to find a solution that offers the same attacking structures as when O'Loughlin is there and, ultimately, that means the passing abilities of a half. Neither Flower or Clubb (or Farrell for that matter) offer that. Green would. You mention he may not have the defensive game for it and perhaps you're right. There's only one way to find out...

Flower had plenty good games at LF last year I just picked Hudds because it was a stand out game against tough opposition. Are you forgetting he started out at loose? You mention retaining the attacking structure. Do we not also need the same defensive structure? You're talking about replacing our top tackler with a poor defender, aside from that we lose the hard yards Lockers makes (a big issue given that we're already a small pack with two or three very average forwards). You're also disrupting the half back partnership when there's no need to. No way can we afford Blake Green in our pack
