I find Lams approach weird, “George Burgess 60/40 to play, Ben Flower 50/50, if there fit they’ll be in”

What’s the rush, if they’re a doubt on the Wednesday surely that won’t mean there fully fit on the Sunday.

Not exactly desperate for them to return. Props all went well last week.

Especially in GBurgess case I’d be bringing him back next week. Home to Hull KR one of the easier fixtures this year

I agree, and next week the reserves have a game away at Leeds, so Flower or Burgess could get a game (or half a game each) there.

Has Lam not learnt his lesson playing players too early with George Burgess? That performance is only bettered by Andy Powell as the worst performance in a Wigan shirt I’ve ever seen. And if Flower has been out for a long time then play them both in the reserves first instead of embarrassing them and himself by playing them in the first team straight off. It knocks their confidence and makes people think Lam hasn’t a clue.

I agree. There’s no need to rush them back. If we were struggling at prop I’d see the sense in it but the fact is we’re not. We’re going quite well in that department. If they’re 60/40 or 50/50 now - they aren’t fit for the game on Sunday.

Maybe Flower and Burgess aren't too keen on playing reserves..

Full time understandably, to get some minutes under the belt

They can like it or lump it, they need to prove their fitness especially Burgess. Can’t just accept his word on his fitness, not after Warrington Jesus wept.

Heard there is only 2 coaches so far filled for the short trip over wondered as Wigan usually travel well if fans are saving it for a more winnable game as the formidable Giants on their unbeaten run look unstoppable, Hail Sezer.

Only joking of course can't wait for what should be an excellent show of rugby league from 2 in form teams.

Which 2 coaches are those?

Not so sure about the coaches for Sunday but i think we took 4 to castleford,a lot of people drive to away games like myself,the last time i went on a coach it was to Hull with my mum a few years ago when the coaches were bricked,thank god they sorted that out

2 coaches are better than 1 minibus
Only joking , yes we are away to the league leaders , tough game , got my ticket but will be arriving by car , keep away snow ! and take the cowbell with you

Is Joe Burgess's attitude in question when Manfredi is selected in front of him because Manfredi is some way below his previous best.
