Is Lovodua wasted on the bench, too good to only play 40 minutes.

Very valid point and one a few have raised since his impressive performances so far, though be interesting to see how a fresh Lovodua would go coming on after say 20mins when his quick reaction and pace could catch a tiring marker or defensive line.

Looking forward to seeing that, but until we have better options at halfback, I think he has to play there, as it stands he is better in attack and defence than McNamara, so for me he plays 6.

Just a special mention to Johnstone. Thought he's played well this year in various positions. Never let the team down. Certainly upped his game

Personally don't agree, defends ok, but that's it, offers nothing in attack at SL level, slow, not particularly strong and very little creativity with ball in hand.

Well I'll always support whatever BH decides is best. Castleford apart he doesn't seem to have done too badly with his selections. However, I don't have a problem with others on here having a different opinion.

To be fair I don't think McNamara has done much wrong or let the team down in the absence of both Gale and Reynolds, I'd actually like to see how he goes alongside Gale especially when as has been reported Gales been influential in mentoring him since joining.
He's had his critics has McNamara and whilst he might not be a dynamic runner or one to catch the eye he has certainly got his head down, been solid and seemingly done as he's been asked by BH.

I would agree with that but think he will stick with McNamara at 6 even though its plain to see just how much Lovodua has bolstered the defence on the right edge especially when Mitch was also on that edge.
Both also provided fast follow up to kicks so our defensive field position was better as they usually nailed the receiving defender

I like this team, but think we'll go with McNamara in the halves and Lane at 13.

It's nice to have the option to mix it up with Lovodua. Something we've not had in a while.

I think Mcintosh will play too.

Gale is in for Macca and Evans is out,

Think TL will be a big loss for Wigan. Your side looks strong with virtually all first teamers available. Should be a good contest for viewers.

We'll be missing one or two, but it's the healthiest we've looked so far this season. Honestly I'd be disappointed to lose this game. I haven't been overly impressed by Wigan, I think we can dominate them physically, and Connor is in the form of his career and will take advantage if we give him the platform.

Wigan look like a Wane team again, very strong in defence and physical. Got some threats in Cust and Field too.

Be a real tough game, but with our squad we are capable of winning this

French back too, some pace in that backline.
