Quote: NickyKiss "I’d go-
Field
French Hurrell Lafai Sio
Welsby Croft
Paasi Levi Hill
Batchelor Farrell Smithies
The backs were a pretty easy pick for me, other than maybe Leutele for Hurrell. The forwards were far tougher. Hill has missed a lot of games but has been the best prop in the league when available IMO, so I went him over Walmsley or Oledzki. Chris McQueen or Batchelor was also very tough but Batchelor has been so consistent and absolutely superb against us. Smithies or Yates is tight for the 13 spot. Knowles hasn’t had his best season but I still think he’ll get in, as much in the same way Lockers pinched a spot on occasion, he gets a lot of good press.'"
Just to show my mate Jukesays that I can move on from the play off stadium saga, I thik this is pretty much spot on. I even agree with Phuzzy's point about Hurrell making too many mistakes so probably Leutele for that reason.
Probably the only one I would question would be Smithies but then I can't see who I would replace him with. Knowles hasn't had a great season by his standards. I still think Smithies is a bit of a grub and whilst I can see why Wigan fans love him for that reason, its also a reason why opposition fans dislike him so much. However I also see FTV's point that he may well surpass Knowles, he is certainly a few years younger so has time on his side. Other than Leutele for Hurrell that's probably the only other spot I'd question.
