Air shot, v Leeds, two dropped balls conceding tries v Huddersfield, letting the kick off go into touch v Saints and letting the ball go dead v Catalan.


I think Noble may let him sit this one out, and get ready for next week. Also, depending on injuries I'd give Sam a bench spot this week.

I think Smith should be given a chance. Let him defend alongside gleeson. I still think he has a lot of potential. Stick tommy at hooker and drop mike. Richards to the wing and give him plenty high balls (his catch on monday was textbook). Phelps at fullback and give ainsy a rest.

If ainscough sits out, who is going to be scoring all our tries?

Probably because he's playing with a shower of 5hite bar Ainscough

Lets not be picky on the lad.

Either way the positives far far outweigh the negatives he has been fantastic so far. The point I was making is that we should just give him a week off.

Wigan Warriors Head Coach Brian Noble has today named his 19 man squad for Sunday's engage Super League home game with Celtic Crusaders at the JJB Stadium, 3pm kick off.

Missing from the 19 is second rower Harrison Hansen who misses out with a dead leg, Cameron Phelps comes back in after missing the Catalans clash as does Gareth Hock.

Wigan Warriors 19 man squad

Amos Roberts, George Carmont, Pat Richards, Tim Smith, Thomas Leuluai, Stuart Fielden, Mark Riddell, Iafeta Paleaaesina, Gareth Hock, Phil Bailey, Sean O'Loughlin, Joel Tomkins, Andy Coley, Michael McIlorum, Paul Prescott, Cameron Phelps, Martin Gleeson, Sam Tomkins, Shaun Ainscough.

The referee for the game is Steve Ganson.

As I posted on the Saints prediction/team thread both he and Sam should have missed that game.

I still think they need a rest. What a pity - if it happens - that they miss what should be an easy-ish runout yet had to endure the Easter fixtures.

That is probably what Noble will pick

Noble has said Phelps will start, so where?
Full back, centre, wing, stand off. Who knows?
Karl Pryce not mentioned.

Roberts unlucky to miss out, but i'd like to see how Phelps performs at FB and how Richards & Glesson work together. I was tempted to rest Ainscough, but I think Celtic could be a good chance for him to notch up a few tries.

McIlorum to be rested as I would like to see if Tomkins & Smith can work as a half back pairing together, he does a great job in defense but doesn't really lead the team from Dummy Half, which is where Leuluai could do the job quite well.
