Is Gildart nailed on then?

That's what was said in the press conference on Saturday evening, yes.

Although, having checked the Wigan Warriors Twitter account, that says that we will check on both before Thursday.

On Saturday, it was stated that Gildart was definite and Gelling was highly likely.

Not sure what to believe now.

Budgie to FB if we have both Gelling and Gildart back? Memory may be playing tricks but I'm fairly sure he has played well there before? I'd rather drop Tierney than Davies or Marshall on current form.

A bit harsh on Tierney. Just watch his try v Hull on Saturday (the 11 pass one) and see how much ground he covers to be in the position to score.

Agree he did wel for that try and is alright in attack but to be honest too much of a worry in defence. Did make one great try saving tackle again Hull though.

I don't recall Burgess ever playing FB.

Get as many players as possible in their correct positions asap. Tierney stays FB, Burgess to his normal wing slot IMO.

You can't knock Tierneys work rate and enthusiasm but he's lacking defensively to be a full back and he's dodgy under the high ball.

The modern game requires your full back to be a serious attacking threat. Tierney is nothing like that! His link up play is terrible most of the time and the sooner he's out of the 17 the better for me!

End of the day, as I've said before about Tierney, if you hawked him around other SL clubs, I doubt there's one of them that would want to swap him.

You can't question his effort most of the time but ultimately Tierney is nowhere near the required standard to play fullback for Wigan. He can be reasonably elusive with the ball but that's pretty much where his list of skills start and end. We can't afford to play how we play and then expect to be able to carry a lad at full back who doesn't create a single thing. This isn't new either, it was exactly the same last year but we at least had a good option in Sarginson.

He's an ok winger but even then he's now got four better options in front of him. I would look to give Burgess, Gildart or Marshall a go at fullback before I'd turn back to Tierney tbh. Does Fell have any sort of creative game? From the limited times I've seen him he seemed to have a bit more about him in that regard then Tierney.

That's what he was saying at Sundays game

The good news for you is that we (Leigh) are missing Tonga Crooks and Higson from our 3/4's and we don't have the depth to cover. Higham and Hock will be badly missed upfront also. Could be who gets the rub that decides the winner.

Why not try Tom Davies at full back he as got the high and rarely misses a high ball and can run the ball out and beat the next man.

Plus Dawson, Fleming and Naughton got injured on Friday. (Naughton went off) If they don't recover, we won't have ANYONE to cover, never mind the depth!

I just see a bit more natural ability in the sense that they can play a bit and bring others in to the game with Gildart, Burgess or Marshall. Don't get me wrong, Davies has been brilliant and I think he's a fine player but he's a winger all day long for me. He's very much head down and play the game at 100mph. I say that as a positive and not a negative because the amount of work he's doing for the team is incredible.
