Lockers out is a disaster.

That means Tuson to start at 13, hughes or gelling in 2nd row, logan on to bench to spell micky mac.

So who would you play in 2nd row, hughes or gelling?

Siege mentality tomorrow. I think I'd possibly run with tommy at 9 and macca at 13. At least we know mcillorum will get through bags of work in defence.

1. Sam tomkins
2. Josh charnley
3. Darrell goulding
4. George carmont
5. Pat richards
6. Brett Finch
7. Joe Mellor
8. Paul Prescott
9. Tommy Leuluai
10. Harrison Hansen
11. Gareth Hock
12. Chris Tuson
13. Mike McIllorum

14. Jeff Lima
15. Gil Dudson
16. Jack Hughes
17. Logan Tomkins

Stick Hock at 13

he has excelled in that position before. Will also allow him to free roam as he sees fit.

How do we know Spencer definitely injured? Looked fine walking around the GA yesterday

that would fill me with most confidence, but is risky and i cant see it happening.

If Spencer is fit it would free us up to move Hansen back to second row. I heard he was struggling with a sternum injury though? Massive games needed from Hansen, Lima, Prescott and Hock.

I'd agree with this but6 Spencer in for Logan if he's fit. Mellor will need to show more confidence and get himself involved if he plays. Against Widnes he went missing a bit and tried to let Finch do everything. I'm gutted about all the injuries but it will hopefully get the players and fans up for it even more and create a 'siege mentality' like you said.

Logan Tomkins should be knowhere near the Wigan 17. Get Spencer in.

I think if spencer is fit I would go
1. Sam Tomkins 2. Josh Charnley 3. Darrell Goulding 4. George Carmont 5. Pat Richards 6. Brett Finch 7. Tommy Leuluai 8. Paul Prescott 9. Mike McIllorum 10. Gil Dudson 11. Harrison Hansen 12. Gareth Hock 13. Chris Tuson SUBS 14. Jeff Lima 15. Tom Spencer 16. Jack Hughes 17. Joe Mellor

Spencer being fit would allow us to move Hansen back into the back row and wouldn't leave us short.

I'd go with the above. We've hot a hell of lot out through injury and the last thing we want to do is disrupt the team further with a mass of positional changes. I just hope everyone in the remaining 19 is fit. Still a good team that if only a little inexperienced.

The 13 is strong but the bench is very very weak in my opinion. Think this could be a great occasion for Mellor to introduce himself on the biggest stage

I agree

That team is the strongest one possible, but it all depends on Spencer being fit. If he misses out then positional changes might be the only option.

Agreed. From what we all heard earlier in the week Spencer didn't stand a chance of playing and now he's integral to us fielding a strong team IMO.

Like I say I just hope the remaining 19 are all fit and we don't suffer any more withdrawals. That teams still capable of winning, but anymore absentees and we'll struggle big time. Fingers crossed Pat and Tommy make it, and then last the 80.
