I think Warrington will similarly target Finch, assuming he plays of course, particularly with it being his first game.

He was so good on Sunday it was grossly unfair to Quins to let him come back out for the second half. He did only play about 60 minutes in total though.

| one good thing about sam tomkins is we will not have to tackle him much as most of time he ends up on floor before defence reaches him also milking penalties as he does will not will not endear him to many rl fans (unless of course your wigan fans)

| Monas is a smart player, if any of your guys are not square it's an almost guaranteed penalty because he just runs straight in to them.
He's a smart player, if he sees that your line isn't set properly he'll go for it.
He'll always be looking for 40-20's so Sam will have to be sharp to that.
His offloading is great, he's an absolute tackling machine and i read in this thread that you should look to smash him to put him off, trust me this guy has the heart of a lion, I've seen people target Monas and hit him hard, trust me unless he's taken off permanently you won't put him off his game.
What you have to realise though is Wire have a few great ball handling thinking players.
Monas, Briers, Myler, Solomona(yes really) Hodgson, Bridge and to a lesser extent Grix.
We have great offloading players, Solo, Wood, Westwood, Harrison, Monas, Bridge and you have to be weary of Myler sniffing around looking for it.
Looking forward to seeing our guys testing your defense though, I'm like a kid I'm so excited.

If I could pick any player in SL to join Wigan, it'd be Monaghan. Quality player.

Another semi-literate berk takes it on himself to speak for the rest of the sport.

He actually refers to "many rl fans" but I suppose if you were a semi-literate berk you could take this to mean the rest of the sport!

Okay, let's be accurate.
Another semi-literate berk who takes it on himself to speak for lots of other rugby league fans.
I suppose that makes him marginally less of a prat.

You love having a dig at Wire so i'm slightly reluctant to respond, Rangi Chase is a good player don't get me wrong but if you think he's better (i know you didn't strictly say that) than Mick Monaghan then you're going to be one of those posters i'd chalk off the 'knows what they are talking about' list.

| Monas would be my choice. Only because he has the second biggest guns in the league, after Jamie Langley.

| Excellent player and the kind of player any team would want.
BUT What has impressed me with Wigan this season so far is that they are able to shut opposition stars down and keep that for 80 minutes.
The whole hype going into the game against Hudds was about Danny Brough, and he was chopped from the off.
