| I love French or Field in the halves in attack as I feel French is just a waste on the wing (especially doing yardage carries) but the defence issues for hard to watch. Field seems better attacking at 6 than French but vice verca in defence.
Could French not play 6 but defend out on the wing? Just means Miski defending in the centres and King in the half back spot.
Think King would be fine but Miski defending at centre may be an issue. Perhaps okay Thornley on the wing as he’ll be used to defending in the centres.
Just a thought!
Anyway the above won’t happen so my normal thoughts.
As NK has said I expected and wanted Powell back in for this game. Cade Cust is really bad defending and the likes of Vaughan etc will have joy running over him all day. Powell was very good against Wire in April and played loose for a lot of the game as we were short. Somethings going on there.
I’d also bring King back in for Thornley. I feel the Catalans right side defence issues were mostly caused by Field and not King. Thornley had a shocker against Saints last week particularly first half.
I’d like Nsemba to get back in the squad. As above he seemed to be scapegoated for the Catalan game. Had a flick through the reserves win against Saints and he seemed to be involved in most tries. Shorrocks has been ineffective since moving back to the pack, maybe a bench spot.
Havard back is brilliant, one of the best props in SL but under the radar even with some Wigan fans. Comfortably our best prop.
Sorry for rambling my team with that squad
Field
Miski/Thornley
King
Wardle
Marshall
French
Smith
Byrne
O’Neill
Singleton
Smithies
Farrell
Ellis
Havard
Shorrocks
Cust
Nsemba

What happens is what I suggested - they get fined. Their actions, their responsibility and their pockets that get hit. Not those of the club, or the fans.
It really is quite simple. Not sure why you can't grasp it?

Care to point out where the ball manufacturers or paying spectators have had to put up with abuse from the players? I've just googled it and, amazingly, nothing came up.

Speak for yourself pal! I have a rule where I do not attend unless Big Bad Brad is playing and I refuse to believe I’m the only one.
