So who's braving the trip over to the Wire twinned with Beirut and Damascus?

wife and kids not coming so a bonus!

Not sure why?
Maybe 5 of that squad would get into wigans line up at a push.
If everyone fit then not even that many.

*priceless*

From this week's squads:

J Monaghan > Thornley
Briers > Powell
Hill > Lauaki
Westwood > Hughes
Waterhouse > Farrell

There's your 5.

Our first choice 5, 6, 7 and 11 (Pat, Finch, Tommy, Hansen) are all out along with Tuson and Fielden... and then we have players coming back from injury for this game.

If wire came to our place for a game like this without Monaghan, Briers, Myler, Waterhouse, Morley and McCarthy... I think we would be pretty confident, especially if they had to throw in a youngster at half-back for only his second game.

If wire perform we just won't be able to handle them. They will close us down in attack with both Finch and Tommy out IMO. We won't be able to get the ball out quick enough to score on the edges. Our only chance of a win is our pack having their best game of the year, but with the form of Hill, Carvell and Westwood I really can't see us rolling over them.

I think Finch will play,didn't you do the same with O'Loughlin last week? I hope he dosn't play anyway but wouldn't be surprised to see him.

Im going for 22-20...but don't know who too!

Spanker started the ridiculous statements so i thought id carry it on.
Looks like i caught a little un!

Then again on reflection i would say 5s not too far off the mark

Pooping ourselves?
Never!
Weve come across Far bigger and better teams and clubs than the wolfs!:-)

Yes but not in the year of the wolf!

Dont be silly. There isnt a single wolfs player that wouldnt get in our side. Their academy just keeps rolling them out. Hodgson, The Monaghans, Atkins, Briers, Myler, Morley, Higham, Carvell, Westwood, Waterhouse, Hill, Ratchford. I just wish we could produce players like that instead of constantly having to rely on Australians and the hope that the little clubs can produce good players that we can wave wads of cash at and steal. I aspire to be the Wolfs inevery way right down to extending our ground so there are more empty seats on match day thsn normal unless its our cup finals v Saints and the wolfs. Wigan just cant live up to the hype of the wolfs.

You haven't beaten us in the Super league since Feb 2010, when flared trousers were in !
