Cannonball tackle

Bullock and Clark have to replace Flower and Partington which I think will help people front row with some size and punch in attack. I’d start Bryne and Bullock with Clark Burgess and Havard off the bench. I’d swap Smith with Tommy as well and have Tommy on the bench if Powell needs a rest

Agree, also Hanks replacing Bibby.

Yeah I’d forgot about Hankinson but he definitely needs up come back in. Bibby has looked very average so far this season and I feel he’s only getting a spot due to his connection to Jacko. Hankinson never had a bad game for Wigan so far and looked very good against Huddersfield

I thought Bibby had done ok up until yesterday but he had an absolute nightmare defensively and maybe I’m wrong but his work rate with the ball seemed pretty average as well. It’s one hell of a step up for the lad. He’s signed for his hometown club, who he supported as a kid and it must be daunting. He’s obviously had a tough week or two personally as well and he may be better served just building some form in the reserves.

It’s easy to forget we’ve probably signed him on a nominal wage because at the time he was playing as a back up winger for Salford. He like the rest of the Salford team were flying at the back end of last season but he wouldn’t be on his own out of that group of players in now struggling a bit.

The problem i have with these types of tackles isn't the actual tackles themselves(although i don't like them),its opposition coaches like Smith coming out and commenting on flower's tackle before the disciplinary has even convened

Just wondering why Salford have packed us in the tiny away terrace instead of the seats along the side , especially in the current climate, also do feel sorry for the Rhinos fans whose weekend has gone belly up

Hastings had a car accident today. Wonder if he will be fit to play.

The tiny away terrace holds 2500...I reckon that'll be enough dont you?

Wigan players are trying to injure people with cars now. Dirty b@stards.

I noticed that and he mentioned being sore with whiplash. I guess he’s doubtful based on that and there’s certainly no point risking him.

It’s a disgrace. Should have a lifetime ban!!!!!!!!!!!!!
