Quote: Stu M "Not sure how you work out we will start as favourites? I bet the bookies won’t have us as favourites- pardon the pun
We’ll have Welsby, Lomax, Dodd, Knowles and Batchelor out. Matautia is a chance I believe and that’s not even including Hurrell and Delaney
Also we keep being told that Wigan have the best squad in the comp. You signed about 10 props for a start. It’s on Peet for not rotating better. Farrimond was soon back to the Reserves after a couple of cameos but will now no doubt play next week.
It’s interesting how much Wigan fans argue against the one man team jibe yet they’ve lost 3 from 5 with no French and arguably only beat us because of the sheer number we had out.
We are 2 from 2 with no Welsby (I accept one was Hull)
And yes if I had to bet on a team winning the GF to save my life I’d still bet on Wigan but they’ve got to get back to form quickly and keep French fit'"
Cant see Batchelor being banned for the life of me. Knowles will be gone though for sure
