No notable injuries today I hope?

How did Hansen & Goulding go today? (don't need to ask about Sam obviously).

No injuries today bar a cut to Hansens already battered face!

Hansen just slipped back in like he'd never been away taking in loads of strong carries and bashing people in defence. As for Goulding he looked a little off the pace first half but was sublime in the second setting up a couple of try's for Thornley including one that was from an unbelievable back handed offload.

Agreed. H is one of those players that you don't really realise how good he is until he's missing. Daz was his usual self, pretty much, though I do get the feeling he's struggling a bit with his leg, still. I'd like to see him given a couple of games off after the Leeds game (London & Cas) ; Thornley looks more than capable of filling in for him.

Team for the semi-final then something like -

Sam Tomkins
Josh Charnley
Daz Goulding
George Carmont
Anthony 'bloody hell' Gelling
Sean O'Loughlin
Brett Finch
Paul Prescott
Mike McIlorum
Lee Mossop
Harrison Hansen
Gareth Hock
Chris Tuson
---------------------------------
Eric Lauaki
Benny Flower
Liam Faz
Jack Hughes?

We'll be able to rest a few after Leeds for sure and keep them fresh for the play offs and maybe a cup final. We just need a few lads to push themselves through next week and then were sitting pretty.

Via all these injuries one thing that had happened is our squads naturally become much bigger. We now have a real confidence that we can throw in Thornley or Murphy or Crosby or Lloyd or Hughes etc etc and they can do a real good job for us.

What the buggery is up with Lima?

Harrison Hansen loves a facial injury, more blood coming of his head at the end of yesterdays match

Lima is in with a shout of playing against Leeds. Josh and Micky Mac have a chance as well. Pat is a week or two away.

I wouldnt rush Pat back, Gelling is doing a fine job and has let knowbody down and will continue to get better.

I know that. My wonder is about what his actually I
Injury is...?
I know i'm at risk of the hilarious 'we need an announcement' brigade piping up here but even the media boys don't seem to have told us what's up with him, never mind the club.

Did this broken cheekbone injury ever get any more light?
Hope he plays on Sat. Much needed!

Another classic 'non-statement' from Wigan.

To have Lima and Prescott available would be massive for us and if they are I'd probably carry Flower on the bench as an extra backrower alongside those 2 and Faz.

I'm pretty sure Charnley will be ok. If they were hugely concerned surely they would have given Jack Murphy a run out on Sunday rather then a player who'll be cup tied this week. I also read Charnley replying to Bradley Wiggins on twitter telling him he'd be ok.

Any word on McIlorum? By the same token of us not giving Jack Murphy a run out on Sunday making me think Charnley is fine we did give Logan Tomkins the start ahead of Smith so he could be a doubt.

I fear for us with just Logan as a hooker against Leeds, without Mickey Mac I think we will definitely struggle
