Hopefully Field gets fit and we can then afford to have Forber on the bench to rotate with Leeming and get him some game time in case Leeming gets injured.

Yes, he lacks match fitness at the moment, he's been a bit unlucky with other disruptions to the team meaning he has been in the squad, not played and missed reserves games.

We have Leeds Reserves also this week so maybe a run out for Hill and Forber in that game?

I think everyone will be looking forward to getting this and next week's game weeks out of the way.

Since the international weekend, it's all being a bit weird and disjointed. We've had injuries, extra fixtures and some real poor performances. I know the squad also got disrupted by the concerts too - moving around different gyms etc.

Let's, hopefully, get a W this weekend and then settle back down into the grind.

No reason to doubt you so I find it really odd that he wasn’t in the 21 man squad let alone the starting 17.
Must admit that I thought Peet said a week or two ago that Forber would be ready for “magic” weekend. Hopefully they are just giving him a bit more time to ensure his fitness rather than a negative reaction to his rumoured exit to Salford next year.
The loss of O’Neil is a big hole and for me Forber can play a major role in filling it.

It will be interesting to see if Tom plays in the reserves.

He is, confirmed on this weeks injury update, MP said he considered him for the bench but a game for the reserves would be better for him, hopefully he comes through unscathed and he'll be an option for next week.

Thank you. I really rate Forber, I hope his future is at Wigan.

Harvey Hill named in the reserves, expect it'll be the same 17 that played Hudds now

Forber and Farrimond in Reserves for today.

Byrne in for Dupree.

Hope not. Seen nothing of Byrne this season to warrant a place in the team

Got a really bad feeling about today, Leeds are pretty awful most weeks but have had our number a few times the last few seasons when underdogs, just want a win, any win will do and no injuries or suspensions.

Smiths passing is pretty bad. Hampshire’s is even worse.

Keighran giving up chasing Rhys Martin

Has Keighran picked up an injury or going into the game with a knock? That was a pathetic attempt to catch Martin a second rower and he just gave up the ghost when there was still work left to do for them to score.
