Might be that Webster can see a slight chance of a win and has decided to go with what he thinks has the best chance.If that's the case then it will be fantastic to see Scruton being a rampaging forward busting tackles and laying the platform for a great win.Or could it be Webster is trying to create a settled side one where each player knows what the bloke at the side of him is doing or going to do and because Sammut was not in the side last time for what ever reason he is not in again.It aint helped by the fact the club say injury and he says not choose what I hope he comes back with a vengeance and we see the player he can be.As for Lynne give it your best shot and lets face it even though most don't rate him as such he is one player who can fit into the centre position where we are short.

Personally I find it difficult to form an opinion on other peoples' opinions', fwiw very few players came away from that game with a lot of credit so to single out one individual is a tad unfair imo.

I did think it was quite clever how Agar lowered everybody's performance levels down to Lyne's standard. We are all now convinced that Lyne is our best option in the backs.

This decision reeks of pap in my opinion. Sammut is our highest try scorer and i imagine he is also up there in clean breaks and assists yet he gets dropped at the first instance of a bad performance yet Mathers gets away with being a massive girl week in week out in defence. I've watched Mathers step out of challenges at least twice this season and generally being garbage. His one-on-one against St Helens where he actually moved out of the way and the "attempt" on Carney being highlights.

I feel sorry for Sammut personally and think he is being treated unfairly, especially as he has been played out of position - james webster should know this. There is half of that team who have been worse than Sammut by far. Nick Scruton and Mathers just for starters.

I'd agree. I also don't know what Andy's done to not get a look in when the forwards ain't been on top form. Fittest player in the club and one of the best defenders not getting picked seems strange

Agree with both of the last two posts.

Let's hope the team selected can prove us wrong and put in a good performance

Hope it's not down to personalities and that it has to be that only Tim Smith is allowed to dictate play hence Sammut doesn't get a game. Sykes is doing ok though and it's good that we can talk about a player of Sammut's class who can't get into the 17.

His running off Smith's cut out passes would be really effective in my opinion whether Sammut is at 1 or 6.

Re the title of this thread; according to the Radio Manc commentator, Lyne has made a couple of try-saving tackles and just scored what could well be the match winning try.

Anyone feeling humble?

Have we won yet?

Now we have!

36-28

Said Wigans team selection left the door open for us to beat a talented yet young team

What Wildcats supporters on this forum & humble don't go together.

Wow - cue Mathers and Lynne's best performance in a Wakey shirt.

Now that's the kind of humble pie I will happily devour.
