You not thinking of Wire?

Sam played well at home against them creating trys for Charnley, terrorised them away in one of the best individual performances I've seen and after a shaky start in the cup (to say the least) came up with some fantastic running plays. He didn't play in the play offs due to injury or in our league game this year.

Wire the only team IMO that deal with him well 9 times out of ten. That's because they smash our pack so he has no room to play.

Give us a break. I don’t think I’m being paranoid or too biased when I say it must be a given that if there is any team in SL that almost everybody who hasn’t got a loyalty to, loves to hate, it must be us. And as for going onto other boards throwing out our chests, while giving only faint praise, well I think you may be a case of a pan calling a kettle!

So do i. For one simple reason.

If we play Powell and Williams and do an number on Leeds and its a big ask for the 2 youngsters then teams might think again from taking Smith and Green out.

Edward and Gregory please

Sibbs Rhinos has gone quiet...

I don't think Williams will play. He's going to France today along with seven other Wigan players in England U18's squad.

Yeah it's an absolute bugger having had to play every team the same as everyone else and the extra fixture (This weekend) against the current GF winners.
PS - Your dislike of Rogues seems to be clouding your judgement of other situations.
PPS - Much like most fans who have an hatred towards all things Wigan let that cloud their judgement hence entering into any kind of rational argument is pointless.

Jedward ?

Wouldn't that be 'Gregward'?

I'm sorry, I've got a cold, but yes, it would.

Wane has said that he doesn't think he will risk George in this game, therefore I think we should move Sam to HB. Get the ball in his hands so he can make things happen. He is more than good enough to slot in there. I don't think it will be a very open game with two good defences on show.

This doesn't mean a permenent switch, but just for this game.

No shuffling about. Keep Sam at fullback. He is on form and is world-class in that position. 29 tries in how many appearances now? He was man of the match in the demolition of Leeds last year at Headingly and did not play in the play offs. Had he played in that game I think we would have beaten them. Matty Smith to return with Sam Powell. Leeds play like they did against Saints and it will be a cricket score. I expect them to bounce back though. Either way, I think we will beat them comfortably. Not that it matters.

Of course it matters. Maybe not as much as it should do but it matters!

Sean Wane says today in an interview on the Wigan site that he will give Smith until Friday before making a decision on him for the Leeds game.
He confirms that Williams is in France and if Smith does not make it he will then make his mind up on either Sam or Lockers for standoff.
He also says that Goulding is still doubtfull for the match.

Lockers, please no!
