| Quote: Sibbs Rhinos "Well yes it is 'promising' you seem to have the attitude that these youngsters have all made it and this is beginning of years of dominance. You haven't won anything yet, lets see how they get on with some tough games strung together, as of yet the fixture list has been very kind to you. I'm not saying they can't go on to dominate but the snobby attitude towards it is ridiculous. It's as if you're wanting everyone in the league to w@nk over you because you have homegrown youngsters in the team.'"
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.

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.

| If goulding doesnt play then well already be with hughes in the centres, so i dont know who we can move to have pat at fullback and sam at standoff. Unless we have someone like tuson in the centres in attack then filling in the middle in defense. Requires alot of movement but i think its preferable to having oloughlin in the halves personally.

Sod that, I'd rather have Williams at 6 than Tuson at 3

As already stated, Williams is in France and is not in Wanes plans for the Leeds game.

| Which makes me believe Smith and Goulding will play.
Smith and Powell the halves, Goulding, of not, Hughes at 3.

| Lockers had a nightmare at 6 against HKR in the cup and got moved back in to the pack after about 20 minutes worth of getting caught in possession. He's a world class 13, one of the best, but he's gone past filling in at 6 now IMO.
If Smith isn't fit then we have 2 options for me and both will involve another youngster getting a debut. Option A is move Sam to 6 and Richards to 1 with Manfredi or Burgess coming in on the wing. Option B is to just bring Ryan Hampshire in at 6 for a debut keeping Tomkins at FB.
FWIW I'm pretty sure Smith will be ok.
