Forgot about Partington! Is he not still banned?

Yes, still got two games left I think.

Totally forgot about Partington. It’s Clubb (don’t fall over in shock) and Gildart who are injured. Lam just confirmed it in his press conference.

Looks like the props will be Byrne, Havard, Bullock and Burgess then with only Mitch Clark potentially forcing one out.

What about Benny Flower.

I think he will play

Suspended

Is wakey still seen as a gimme, 2 easy points ?

Seeing as we never win at your place, who has said that?

I genuinely think it's open as who wins but it will be a good few points difference to the winner due to re sets of six who ever gives them
Away too easily ?
That fact of re sets is the new momentum game changer ! Compounded by the will to play at speed in th a t momentum !

Certainly, watching the NRL, once a team gets on a roll, the momentum can be hard to get back.

I Think the team will be

French
Marshall
Bibby
ZAK
Manfredi
Hastings
Tommy
Bullock
Powell
Burgess
Faz
Isa
Lockers

Byrne
Havard
Smithies
Smith

Reserves
Burgess
Hankinson
Clarke
Greenwood

Thought we had another Salford on our hands there but glad we got the 2pts.

Disappointed with the amount of penalties we gave away. Will have to rewatch but think Isa was a culprit a few times. Didn't help we had to change the halves and then French going off, who no doubt would've been involved in all key plays in training. Havard really good again.

Disciple again let us down, 16 point lead and nearly through it away like the Solford.

Isa did get penalised a couple of times but there were other guilty as well, French moved to the wing for most of the game with Zak at full back and Manfredi at centre!

Second half some poor defense at times and a lack of composure invited pressure and some bad reads in defense on the left hand side allowed Wakey to score twice, a lot closer than it should have been.

Lets not gloss over the fact that 2nd half we where sh*te and got lucky that, the bibby try was given as it never was a try

Our discipline is horrendous. We gave a penalty away in possession yet again and lost a try on the back of it. David Fafita did what David Fafita does against us and acts like a footballer constantly claiming foul play and both us and Thaler fell for it. I love Smithies but he really needs to get his head back in to just running hard and tackling hard and leave the running niggly battles to one side.

On the plus side Hardaker was excellent, I thought Bibby had his best game in a Wigan shirt and Liam Byrne and Havard carried that group of props. I again paid close attention o George Burgess and it’s like watching a junior out his depth. His first job to work on is getting back in the defensive line. It’s Tautai esq watching him struggle and him being third man in and then not getting back in the line left Isa totally isolated for the Wood try (still a very poor effort though). I thought Byrne was absolutely massive for us. He’s growing in confidence and physically and bit by bit he’s making a spot in the 17 his own.
