when they are both fit Nsemba is better anyway for me

Smacks of O'Neil getting dropped for Powell last year

its only hear say but if it happens it would annoy me as it would show the coaches havent learned

We’ll see how it plays out. It might be a case of getting minutes in to Nsemba’s legs because they feel he needs that. They did take him off around the hour mark iirc.

I go back to a comment I made about Peet and Harvie Hill before the Leigh game, when discussing who from Hill or Shorrocks should play. If Peet doesn’t trust a Hill or Nsemba enough to give them minutes when the crunch comes in a big game, he should go with the more experienced player because leaving a guy on the bench for 80 minutes is definitely not the way to go.

Wasn't that v HKR in the semi final? Isa played really well before coming off at half-time with a different injury.

It was, he was running Schneider into the ground.

If fit I do think Isa should play with Nsemba on the bench. I’d be getting him running at Sue tiring him out like the Warrington game

Both won't play I imagine - it's one or the other.

Kr will come here and give everything.I can also see them bringing a decent mob through the gates.Hope the atmosphere is electric because semi finals should be.Ticket sales look dire from our perspective what's wrong with people it's a semi final !!

It’s shocking, our last home game of the year and it’s the biggest.

It’s so annoying isn’t it, I’ll be there but always a weird atmosphere, half empty stands, away support bring loads and are bouncing as they won the week before.

Salford 2019, Leeds in 2021 and 2022 were horrible defeats. Hope we talk about them this week.

Team wise Havard would be an enormous IN for us. Even to do just a 20 minute spell. Seems less likely than Isa.

Juniors been brilliant but didn’t play many minutes against Leigh and then playing in the reserves (unlike Hill), maybe he’ll be dropped for Isa.

I’d keep Junior for his size and power.

IF Isa is ready to go, then surely he'd had played for the reserves this weekend?

Yeah, embrace those defeats and don't hide away from them. We've been so poor and so un Wigan like in those 3 games but they were different teams and they need to put them to bed in this game.

I'm confident we will do just that.

No bans for KR, just a fine for Walmsley
