Seeing as Thornley, Charnley, Pettybourne and Flower will most likely miss the game against Leeds, what are we thinking team wise?
Even though Gelling bad a good game yesterday I'd like to see Sarginson and Goulding in the centres with the two youngsters out wide. As for the pack, I thought Dudson had a blinder yesterday and young Sutton didn't put a foot wrong.
So I'd go for:
Bowen
Manfredi
Goulding
Sarginson
Burgess
Green
Smith
Taylor
McIlorum
Dudson
Bateman
Farrell
O'Loughlin
Clubb
Sutton/Crosby if fit
Hughes
Williams
James will probably be in the squad but I don't think he's good enough to handle the Leeds pack.

Dudson is facing a two match ban after being charged with a grade B for his shoulder charge yesterday.

EGP will mean that Dudson just misses the Hunslet game

True enough however there could be one or two injuries picked up from it, hence my comment. |

We've Hunslet to play yet, which may be particularly important in deciding who gets picked in the backs

23 - 20 - 4
Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png |

Hunslet are first up but it should be a Wigan win.
As for Leeds, I don't go with the Sarginson/Burgess left wing partnership. After seeing what happened to our left side defence at Cas we shouldn't be risking a repeat of that. Gelling should go to 4 if Thornley is out as he gives us physical presence against the likes of Watkins.
Props wise it will depend on fitness. If Flower and Eddie are out then I'd go with Taylor, Crosby (if fit), Dudson & Clubb, James if Dom doesn't make it. Thankfully we have a lot of depth at prop.
My 17 -
Bowen,
Manfredi, Goulding, Gelling, Burgess,
Green, Smith,
Taylor, McIlorum, Crosby,
Farrell, Bateman,
O'Loughlin,
Bench - Dudson, Clubb, Hughes, Williams.
Should be a cracker!

Assuming that Flower and Eddie are injured. If Crosby is still injured then James.

Hope one of Flower or Pettybourne can make it - both work tirelessly and could make the difference.
Having Dudson and James as two of the four props doesn't inspire confidence.

Haha, my reaction too. Been disappointed with Dudson, doesn't offer much go-forward and gives away cheap penalties. Taking out a half-back with a cheap shot when you're 84-6 up isn't big or clever.
Metre stats from Monday;
Clubb: 154m from 14 carries (11 m/carry)
Sutton: 120m from 13 carries (9.23m.carry)
James: 73m from 8 carries (9.13 m/carry)
Dudson: 82m from 13 carries (6.31 m/carry).
I was very impressed with Sutton. Had a good bit of (controlled) agression about him and has a decent frame to fill out. Clubb was exceptional and ran in every ball at 100m an hour. Think prop might be his position long term. James isn't Wigan standard but will do as an experienced filler for now. Would be disappointed if he's still playing come the end of the season.

Agree. Was really impressed with Sutton, did not look out of place at all on his debut. Probably played about 55 mins as well. Clubb is doing a quality job also.
6.31m per carry is embarrassing from Dudson. Fairly sure he took 3 or 4 kick-off returns up also!

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

Many, including myself, were underwhelmed when Clubb was signed. But, he puts a shift in for sure..
