Regards Hock bad news but optomistic we may well see the birth of another star in Mossop and i personally find Hock blows hot and cold, 4-6 weeks at this stage of the year is no great loss and could be of massive benefit.

Very bad news if O'Carroll's injury is confirmed, in my opinion regards his Wigan career could be devastating.

Gutted, bout O'Carroll but if he's out for 6 weeks then its not too bad. I mean we played with Feka/Fielden/Coley/O'Carroll for 6 weeks without Prescott really getting a look in. Now Prescott seems to be back to 100% he can takeover from O'Carroll for 6 weeks until O'Carrol is back and in contention for places.

He shouldn't have been in the reserves anyway. Our best prop all season.

You on about Prescott, because i'm sure he was recovering from surgery on his back.

O'Carroll I mean.

Hansen, Lockers, Tomkins is how I would go.

Agreed, if Hock is out. He hasn't broken his hand though apparently.

I think we may find bailey back in the second row with phelps at centre

Hopefully the rumour about Hock being ok is true and we can move onto the Huddersfield game with our most dangerous player in the side. It would be a massive blow to see him miss any part of the season for us but especially at the minute as we're trying to get back on an even keel after a poor start.

Gutted about O'Carroll is that proves to be true.

Cant argue with that, IMO his future is not at Wigan, sad but true.

How come people are having a go at Eamon now?

He's been one of our best players so far this season

He is still very young for a prop and has bags of potential, he just needs a bit more bulk and we could have a Danny Nutley type prop on our hands for the next 10-12 years

Letting him go would be a massive mistake

I would keep him atm if only for his enthusiasm.

Hopefully he can develop into a decent squad player.

If we are aiming to build a squad to match StH and Leeds, it is key that we keep players like EO'C. Hes a quality squad player, who will never be a World Star but will never let us down. Very similar to Hansen - they may not have the best physiques, but their attitude and effort are impeccable.
Same mould as Mick Cass.
