If Lima does receive a ban I wouldn't rule out Madge bringing in Ben Davies.

I'd rather he brought in Crosby to be honest. Not really been impressed with Davies this year or during his SL appearances for us last year.

Tommy HAS to start at 9.

Finch and Deacs in the halves.

Not in such a big game. Try it when kear comes to watch paint dry!

Who are you talking about?

If it's Deacon, Finch and Tommy all starting then they are our big game, star players.

What has finch done to make him our big star player. Come with a big reputation but was jut a average Joe at the storm. He hid behind cronk, smith and slater. Stay with the tried and tested for this one!

It was more of post on how much better we played with Tommy at 9 and Finch on the pitch at Hull KR.

Tommy was probably MOM after his stint at 9 and is the player to replace the hole Piggy left.

As for Finch were paying him to play not sit on the bench.

Same again for me. We've tinkered too many times this season and we need a settled side. In time I'd also like to see Finch starting but for the moment we should continue to ease him in. If Lima is suspended the only change I'd make is to bring Chris Tuson onto the bench with Prescott starting.

Why wait tho?

Mcilorum simply is not good enough and Tommy has turned in his best performance of the season at 9.

We looked faster and sharper with Tommy at 9.

did well in the GF...done far more than Finch has for us.

I'm not saying he has BUT Tommy was a different class at 9 on Friday. It's reflected in the MOM poll that people saw this.

I also thought Finch had his best game so far. Him and Deacon seemed to work well together. We had more kicking options, Tommy was a danger and making good yards at dummy half and Finch was giving guys like Joel and Carmont plenty of extra time with some excellent quick passing.

To say Mcilorum isn't good enough is totally unfair IMO. He is having a good season and his style of play is uncompromising and is brilliant to have in our armour. I thought he was excellent in 2 shorter bursts on Friday and I think that rest really helped his game rather then him being run into the ground for 80 minutes. I agree Tommy should be at 9 in the long term but at the moment Finch is still settling in and has been much better from the bench. The first 20mins on Friday will be all hustle and bustle and that suits Micky Macs game down to the ground.

Tommy was superb at 9 on Friday. So I'd be inclined to agree and go with Finch and Deacon in the halves with McIlorum starting at 9, with Tommy coming off the bench. There's no way that'll happen imo, but it's what I'd pick.

If I'm honest I think Madge will go with the exact 17 that played against KR. With the only change possibly being Lima dependant upon whether he's banned or not. Hopefully not.

McIllorum cannot lead us or direct us round the field, and sadly I do not think he ever will be able to. I appreciate that he has a good defence and is hard as nails, but personally I do not think he has what it takes to be a career Wigan player. He has his moments but for me Piggy carried us last year around the ruck and its a skill McIllorum will never have.

In my opinion Lima should not pick up a ban, but if he does, Davies from what I have seen this year has been poor, looks badly out of condition to me, carrying too much weight up top and not enough on his legs.
