Yes he was at Newcastle and we brought him back I seem to recall he was a back row forward tbh hope he gets a game as it’s good to see some of the players that are on the fringes

If there fit feel for josh wood and max both for me been our best performers

does seem odd twenty man squad

That pretty much means back line is as squad number with Gigot in the halves.
I'd personally leave back row as Tanginoa Pitts and Westerman.
Which leaves props and subs to be decided.

1. Zak Hardaker
3. Chris Hankinson
4. Oliver Gildart
5. Joe Burgess
6. Bevan French
7. Tommy Leuluai
9. Sam Powell
11. Willie Isa
12. Liam Farrell
13. Sean O’Loughlin
14. Ben Flower
15. Joe Greenwood
17. Oliver Partington
20. Liam Byrne
23. Jake Bibby
28. Harry Smith
29. Jack Wells
30. Ethan Havard

Manfredi missing from Wigan squad is about the only positive I can see from Lams selection there.

Agreed.
Thought he would rest/rotate a few after their game last week


Although we have quite a few on the comeback trail, hopefully we can keep it closeish.
Wigan for my money are the best side in SL at present.

They may not have the same flair as Saints or Wire but, they look vey very tough to beat.

He's a hooker isnt he?

I think that's the Walker of the same name who is at Warrington.

Bullocks

Sacrilege to some over here but I'd imagine next week against Saints we'll be pretty unrecognisable compared to the squad against you with the semi-final being four days later.

Well if you look at The Wakefield squad it looks the strongest its been since lockdown. No more excuses, I would say Mr Chester.

I see on Skytbet we are getting 20 pts start. A couple of season ago I would have put a large amount on us with that handicap. Especially considering that Wigan are due to face their old enemy, the Saints in the cup in four days time. However even with our crap form and the fact I would expect Wigan to take their foot off the gas if they are well in front I still think we will keep the score to within 20pts.

If we cant even do that, then I would expect Chester to fall on his sword if he has an ounce of self respect
