Hello fellow supporters. I have been reading this forum for a long time but this is my first time posting.

Now we know that farrell isn't out for six weeks, madge has not been sacked, and Wigan RL isn't on its death bed, what team would you put out on friday?

I wouldn't make many changes to the line up and think we should see the rough patch through as every team has them. I think sam should stay at fullback with Finch and Deacon in the halves so here is my selection.

Sam
Goulding
Joel
Carmont
Pat
Finch
Deacon
Coley
MM
Prescott
Hoff
Hanson
Lockers

Lima
Mossop
Tommy
Farrell

I think we need to focus on pressuring the kicker, our defence out wide and completing our sets with a good kick.

I think Finch will come good and I am predicting he will have a really good match versus Saints on good friday. I remember Tim Smith changed a few opinions on this forum when he produced a brilliant attacking display in Murrayfield a few years ago and think Finch will win a few supporters over in this years derby. Lets hope I am right.

Alibert is the ref for the game aswell.

Hello and welcome

No Farrell? Farrell needs to be on the bench for me.

14. Thomas Leuluai
15. Liam Farrell
16. Lee Mossop
17. Jeff Lima

Exactly this but with Lima starting over Prescott. Lima is not an impact player.

Neither is Prescott though, and he was our best prop against Catalans. Coley is probably the weakest prop overall (but was also good against Catalans, and isn't necessarily [iweak[/i, just not as good as the others). I think Lima should start off the bench and work his way towards a starting spot without getting banned again.

From last weeks performances I would like to see.

Sam
Goulding/Charnley
Joel (Harsh on marsh but think we need Farrell in the team so Joel to play centre)
Carmont
Pat
Finch
Deacon
Mossop
MM
Prescott
Hansen
Farrell
O'Loughlin

Hoffman
Lima
Coley
Leuleui

Our back row then would be most solid in defence possible IMO with Joel helping to tighten centres too.

"Coley is probably the weakest prop overall"

This must be the most ridiculous coment anyone has ever made

Anyone who thinks Madge is going to play Roberts at full back on Friday is off their head IMO.

We have a fully fit squad apart from O'Carroll and Fielden. Roberts won't be in the 19.

I agree with Joel in the centres.. a lot of KRs tries come from them areas of the pitch with strong running from Galea and Newton.

Why? I just think Prescott and Mossop have both pushed on a lot this year and are probably our strongest two props. Lima has been inconsistent, but does have a good work rate and has put in some good performances, so between Lima and Coley I'd let the stats decide, where Lima comes out on top.

Whats the team this week mate?

Thats what I thought, Hull KR are probably one of the best sides for wide running back rowers. With Newton, Galea and even now Willie Mason if he plays SR. Therefore it makes sense to have Joel in centres rather than Marsh.
