i do not care if we win or lose as long as we show some purpose and not the pathetic crap we have been served for the past 10 weeks. we need to show composure, attacking structure and defense. the following should be dropped as they have not performed: Mossop, Micky Mac, Finch, might give them the kick up the they need rather than thinking they are guaranteed to be on the team sheet.

For the Saints game I'd like to see this team -

Tomkins
Charnley
Goulding
Carmont
Richards
Finch
Leuluai
Lima
Smith
Lauaki (assuming he's fit, if not Fielden)
Hansen
Hock
O'Loughlin

McIlorum
Mossop
Dudson
Farrell

Dudson was very good before his injury and deserves a chance to stake his claim for a place in playoff team. McIlorum and Mossop were shocking once again against Rovers but both could make a huge difference if we're going to reach the Grand Final, so drop them to the bench and make sure they realise that (in McIlorum's case) with Leuluai/Smith and (in Mossop's case) Dudson/Fielden back to fitness and pushing for places their selection is not guaranteed if they don't pick up.

We beat Leeds soundly but didn't break them mentally! Beating Saints now counts for nothing and so I would play reserves and players coming back from injury. It won't be the same team the following week so nothing given away.

That against

1. Paul Wellens
2. Tommy Makinson
3. Michael Shenton (if fit)
4. Josh Jones
5. Francis Meli
6. Lance Hohaia
7. Jonny Lomax
8. Josh Perry
9. James Roby
10. Anthony Laffranchi
11. Tony Puletua
12. Sia Soliola
13. Jon Wilkin

Bench

14. Gary Wheeler
15. Mark Flanagan
16. Paul Clough
17. Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook

Wigan should have little problems if any at all on Friday in my honest opinion.

Come on Bradford!

Only if we get job done against Saints, otherwise we end up playing Leeds, IMO the toughest of our three potential opponents. Having said that I really can't see Bradford going from getting 70 points put past them by Hull to turning over Les Cats in one week. Shame though, they would be right in the mix but for the points deduction

Wane needs to decide the best thing to do to get to the GF and then have a plan to win it. He won't be happy losing, especially to Saints, being a Wiganer, ex-player and fan.
Wasn't it Wayne Bennett who said if you listen to the fans, you'll end up sitting with them?
This match is a dead rubber as the League is already won, so a loss won't mean anything unless he puts a full team out. If we lose that, then I fear for our GF chances.

Sam Tomkins
Josh Charnley
Darrell Goulding
George Carmont
Pat Richards
Brett Finch
Thomas Leuluai
Jeff Lima
Mike McIlorum
Lee Mossop
Harrison Hansen
Gareth Hock
Sean O'Loughlin
-----------------------------------------
Stuart Fielden
Epalahame Lauaki
Liam Farrell
Matty Smith


Absolute no brainer - get them absolutely smashed! I don't care whether we play Saints ten times in a season, they're our rivals and I want to see them hammered. Heck knows in times gone by (seems a distant memory thankfully) they gave us our share of beatings. Times have changed and now it's our turn to exact some batterings. Destroy them and build some confidence for whoever we get in the play offs week one.

Win and win well.

Defence is the key to our form. It's been powderpuff recently and it has to improve massively if we're to stand any sort of chance of reaching Old Trafford.

I'd not risk any players carrying knocks but still hope the team go hard for the win. Beat them again the week after to earn Club Call. Then pick a Catalans side that have spent the playoffs lapping the English Channel. Let Leeds/Saints deliver Wire's annual choke.

Easy

Beat them. It's Saints.

Ridiculous thread.

Lock it mods.
