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!

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.

I couldn't care less about head to heads with wire when we have won a league leaders shield, Super League and the Challenge cup since then.
Before 2009 the head to head games were something to brag about but I think both clubs should be above that now. We have been the best teams by a distance for the 2010, 2011 and 2012 seasons. |

That is the point. 9 of our starting 13 squad players came through our own academy. Could be 11 if we line up like this on saturday....
Tomkins
Charnley
Goulding
Carmont
Thornley
Powell
Smith
Mossop
McIlorum
Prescott
Farrell
Hock
Lockers
This season 22 Wigan players have played super league having coming through the Wigan system. Making shrewd signings in the current climate will not last long, it isn't sustainable.
The wire starting 13 on saturday will probably have 1 player who was brought through by them (Riley), with just two more on the bench in Harrison and Wood.

They were hardly nothing games were they? The two league drubbings given to Wigan last season were a big reason we finished top. The last two knockout games are 1 win each, with both teams dishing out a massive knobbing. Neither really matters though. It's yet ANOTHER Wire v Wigan thread that descends into a childish tit for tat argument. It's embarassing.
