| If you listen to the wane interview on the official site, Tuson was the stand out player from the bench at salford. S if we go to 3 forwards it may be faz that misses out

| I'd go with 4 forwards on the bench,. Huddersfield are light on forwards so we may win this one up front.

Faz was the stand out player from the bench from what I saw. He was his usual self defensively and made a real difference in attack. Tuson doesn't really do anything. Defends alright and I think he put in a decent hit at one point, but other than that he offers very little.
I just can't see how both Tuson and Farrell can be put on the bench as the two interchange back rowers. They are so similar, only one offers any impact and when both play the pack loses a lot of size and gets bullied.

I believe myself that you have got to have either Mellor or Powell as a sub if only for the following reason,when we play with 4 forwards on the bench we are stuck with no alternatives to Finch and Tommy in the halves.
This means that if Mcllorum does,nt do the full 80 we have to use Tommy as replacement hooker with Lockers going to standoff,which means we loose Lockers allround loose forward game and the creativity of a natural halfback.

| Hudds pack is weakened by injury for this game, we will start with 4 forwards on the bench . This is wane's style.

Yeah i'd agree with that. I don't think we need four forwards on the bench as well but i'm not sure Wane will be thinking the same though.

| Four forwards would work better due to the reduced substitutions, Our forwards may need spelling more however it's always nice to have a utility back. Tucson for me wouldn't get a shirt he belongs at London or elsewhere

36409_1319997811.jpg A purple patch inspired on his home ground by man of the match WIGAN CAPTAIN Sean O’Loughlin produced three tries in an eight-minute spell just before half-time, and the GB Lions added two more after the break to maintain Smith’s 100 per cent record as Great Britain

23997_1287161421.jpg [quote="Mark"]Great game of rugby league. Fantastic atmosphere, Wigan were breathtaking and dominant in all areas for the first 25 minutes, coupled with us making alot of dumb mistakes,then fortunately they brought McIlorum on which helped us back into the game. I thought some of the tries we scored to get us within two we're out of this world stuff. Towards the end we had to force it a little and we had a few things go wrong, i.e Monas kick on the first for King and Solomona going off who was causing havoc. Wigan were clinical in their eventual execution of us. Proud of Wire today and gave us a little glimpse to the future. Silverwood was awful as per, but I expect no less. Tomkins is a world class player and by far the best english player in SL. Wigan are a champion side and would be a worthy winner of taking our title as challenge cup. Good luck over the next month and a bit.[/quote]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_23997.jpg |

| I think we should win this by 20+ but you never know what can happen in the first few games of the season

| I think Wane will go with 4 props ala Brian Noble at Bradford. Think we will look to dominate in the forwards this year.
Personally I would always have a back on the bench, even if it was a "hybrid".

Although not my ideal solution, we've got O'Loughlin in the pack and he can always revert to 6 or 3/4 at a push.

Yeah that's the thing. I really don't rate Lockers as a 6. It's not his fault, he is a 13- and a much improved one at that.
It's too much of an "easy" option. Having a dedicated back on the bench enables us to mix things up and try something different if things are not going well. Also provides cover for injuries.
I know we have TL, Lockers and the like but I would prefer an established back.
As I said though I don't think SW will go down that route. I think this years strategy will be blast them in the forwards, ensure dominance and then get the ball out to the backs once that platform is built.
The test of SW as a coach will be what to do when plan A doesn't work.

| Thought Lauaki started well at Salford. True he dropped the ball a couple of times but he wasn't the only one to do that. He has size and isn't too slow.
Hame starting with Mossop with Lima and Spencer off the bench.
Farrell the other bench forward plus Mellor or Powell.
For game like Hudds, SW can go with two younger players provided they have plenty experience around them.
