I'd be more confident if Lauaki was playing for Wigan.

Can you imagine the pressure Peter Gentle will be under if you lose to that Wigan side?

Quite easily thanks.

So does that Wigan side make it any more or less likely people will make the trip over on Friday?

Better chance for revenge and two valuable points trump the fact it might not even be a contest?

Normally the week after a Wembley win I'd I expect a large Wigan crowd but at £20 for an adult ticket with that squad named I'd be a bit surprised many non-season ticket holders will shell out.

I wont be going over now - if it was 2 full strength sides then I would, but both teams are missing a lot of players (ours forced)

Heard Ben Crooks has had a protective boot on this week, if so I wouldn't play him, rather Horne played centre

Also would like to see Kent, Hadley and Bowden play,

29. Shaul - FB
14. Whiting - WG
23. Crooks - CE
4. Yeaman - CE
5. Briscoe - WG
16. Horne - SO
34. Miller - SH
20. Johnson - P
9. Houghton - HK
17. Watts - P
12. Tickle - SR
13. Westerman - SR
19. Pitts - LF

Subs:
6. Holdsworth
30. Hadley
22. Bowden
Kent/Green - Cant Pick

Crookes and Either Kent Or Green Miss Out For Me, and think horney should have a game with miller, i know DJ and miller will play together but i think DJ should go to the bench for this game.

Shaul
Crookes
Crooks/Horne
Yeaman
Briscoe
Holdsworth
Miller
Green
Houghton
Watts
Tickle/Kent
Westerman
Whiting
Subs
Pitts
Johnson
Bowden
Horne or Kent if Crooks and Tickle play if not Hadley

Just out of interest why would you drop Crookes?

i'll start by saying in no way i think he is a bad player but i just dont think he took his chances in the last few games he's played, and i just think whiting deserves a start more than crookes.

I'd go

FB - Shaul
WG - Crookes
CE - Crooks
CE - Yeaman
WG - Briscoe
SO - Horne
SH - Miller
PR - Green
HK - Houghton
PR - Watts
SR - Tickle
SR - Westerman
LF - Holdsworth

Subs:

IC1 - Hadley
IC2 - Whiting
IC3 - Bowden
IC4 - Kent

I'd keep Holdsworth on a Loose for this game to allow Miller and Horne to have a game together at 6+7 as K-Diddy said.

Tbf I'd agree with you mate if Lineham was fit. With the lack of experienced forwards available this week we need to keep Whiting in the 2nd row/13 IMO.
