JF in for an extended spell. Do Jack good & he’ll not let anybody down. Just hope the forwards can bother to start turning up & laying a platform. 

I don't know enough about Farrimond just yet but I'm not convinced him and Smith are a natural fit. A Farrimond/French partnership would be interesting to see. 

Get him right for August when we need to get back in the groove 

At least Marshy is good to go. Just role Bev out for the big games, and Saints (only joking Stu). https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/wigan-warriors-coach-reveals-bevan-french-injury-setback-as-liam-marshall-latest-delivered

Out for 8 Weeks! the team will be lucky to be in the top 3 this year

In the balance now I think. A lot of home games to come but we'll have to improve quickly. Miski and Walters will help in q few weeks.

I really think Miski is so very underrated with what he brings to the table. We are so much better as a team with him returning the ball. 


His ability to win contact tie up defenders find his front and get a quick play the ball makes it so much easier for our forwards to progress down the pitch after his carry. 

Farrimond is not the answer, Keighran to 6, Eckersly to centre, Wade on the wing

Leigh's left edge would murder us with Eckersley and Wade there.

Our back row is one of the problems. Farrell plays so much better on the left side than the right. Nsemba plays so much better on the left than the right. Do we have a back rower who can well on the right side? 
Walters did ok on the right but he's out for weeks. When he returns no doubt back in at prop where he's royally missed.
I think Hirst, the guy on loan at Oldham is a right sided back row. That's one long shot though!


Farrell or Nsemba playing right side with Eckersly and Wade would probably how Lam would select our squad.

Agree with all of that, FT. Eckersley needs to improve his defence quickly. And these days, the NRL seems to have big, rangy, try-scoring young back-rowers coming out of their ears! I wish we could find one, cos it's sorely needed.

Does Nsemba play that much better on the left than the right? He was pretty effective on the right side as well last year - I think the switch was made mainly to plug some gaps defensively. Looks like there's a chance they'll be switching back.
