Apparently Bails is carrying a knock, so he may not play. TBH I'd have dropped him to the U20's anyway, even if fit, and played Tuson. He was no better than Feca & Pryce, who have both been "demoted".

Agreed.

People talk of Bailey's defensive prowess, but when it actually boils down to it he's our weak link in defense.

And don't even get me started on his offensive capabilities, he has none.

Bails is a passenger in this team, and one of the few players in the squad who hasn't improved under Madge.

Agreed,

I got murdered for saying less on here last week, maybe a few people have now changed their minds about him. Once Hansen is fit he shouldnt play another game barring further injuries

I agree with much of the above and it certainly won’t sit well with those who build him up to be something he’s not on here.

The only thing Bailey has going for him is the kids in the u20’s respect him.

He played a massive part in our loss last week.

I respect the hard work he put in when he first signed and guys like him have played a massive part in all the good things we see today BUT his time is up and once HH is back he shouldn’t be seeing any game time.

Probably the most glib use of "great" in history. Could have been worse though, you could have said he was "world class" like another on this thread.



I sincerely hope not.

Agreed, he's a decent player, and would probably do well in quite a few squads in the league, but he's nowhere near the kind of player to be described as great.

True, but there again, the same could be said for Phelps - I agree that it would be a fair swap...

Just noticed. 12 Wiganers in that squad and thats without Lockers and Goulding who might normally be in.

Nice to see, but Goulding is in the 19 isnt he??

Was just testing.

I count 10?

Joel
Sam
Goulding
Tuson
Marsh
Davies
Gleeson
Deacon
Prescott
Farrell

McIllorums from the academy.
Mossops from the academy.

Not Wiganers though.

I'd go with

Marsh
Goulding
Gleeson
Carmont
Richards
Sam
Tommy
Fielden
McIlorum
Coley
Mossop
Joel
Farrell

Piggy
Davies
Prescott
Tuson


Leave Sam & Tommy in the halves and give Marsh a run at FB.

That team certainly has a lot more balance to it, but where is that "final pass" going to come from in attack? Stefan Marsh or Liam Farrell?

The advantage of having Tomkins at fullback is he can find that killer pass at pass. His pass for Pryce's try against Saints was (dare I say it) world class.
