Madge will put full strength out Or as full strength has he can , I think he respect s the cup ,

I really hope Crosby plays.

He's been the 19th man a few times this year and for me he should get his chance this week. The guy looks like he could be a very special player.

That was Noble in 2009 when we went up there. I'm not so sure we had any of choice but to go full strength back then because the likes of Sam Tomkins and Lee Mossop for example were inexperienced then. A lot of good kids come through since. I'd like to see Dom Crosby get a crack at least. Maybe Joe Mellor on the bench giving Paul Deacon a week off? I wouldn't make wholesale changes but a bit of tinkering wouldn't be a bad thing backing up from Easter.

think a strong and consistent starting 13 with some fringe players on the bench should do the trick. we still have to win remember!

i'd like to see amos get a shout, but doubt he will going by recent squads. agreed that any carrying slight knocks or those on 100% game time etc should be rested either by not making the squad or benched throughout the game enough to count as a bit of a rest at least!

for me if lockers isn't injured why rest him, he is massively important to the team IMO. players like carmont and hoffman should be rested completely.

Hoffman deserves a break; he was limping quite heavily when he walked off Sunday. Carmont is another due a rest, he does seem to get a few knocks.

Thing I most want to see is a continuation of the Joel/Charnley partnership. It has some serious promise.

Other than that, the DR Widnes players deserve a shot, maybe add Roberts, Marsh, Goulding into the mix too.

Other than that just keep the momentum going imo. I think we need some good practice at putting teams to the sword if we are going to keep up with Warrington on points difference.

Agreed.

Retain the core of the squad, and anyone who's running at less than 100% give them a week off and let one of the promising youngsters have a go.

What's the crack with D/R can they play/will Wigan let Hughes play against them? I think Davies played his last game for Barrow at the weekend.

Hughes can be called back to play. Wigan did it with Mossop a couple of years ago.

Would it be viable for Pryce to play for us this weekend, while he presumably won't be allowed to play for Quins?

I think if we put some younger lads on the bench. Bring them on when we feel secure about the game being in the bag. Best of both worlds.

He's on loan, so we'd have to terminate said loan for him to play for us.

He says on "Hoff the record" that he's fine and looking forward to playing.
