People also neglect to mention Hoy is only fb in SL who was willing to take regular hit ups from his own 20

Maybe that tells you something. Other clubs don’t see that as the role of a fb? The FC game plan is wrong? He does ot because some who should do it don’t or are not good enough? What is certain the other 11 first choice fbs will not be ducking out of that part of the gams of their own volition. Coaches would not accept that.

Two problems for Wigan might present an opening for Hull if they build on the Huddersfield performance. 1) We have too many forwards out for it not to hurt us - Cooper, Singleton, Ellis and Isa missing on the back of the Bateman transfer at the start of the year. Harvie Hill and Junior Nsemba are great prospects but still very early in their development so may struggle against some of the bigger Hull forwards. 2) Our defence has been winning us games (conceding only 6 points in each of the last 4) but our attack has suffered without Field and Cust. Shorrocks has done well providing a solid link but we're nowhere near as dangerous with him there. Hampshire is playing in the reserves today and has scored a try and shown some nice touches (half-time as I type). They could decide to throw him in but either way our attack definitely won't be free-flowing.

Well I doubt the England training match took a great deal out of the players on Saturday .

Put the bottle down Keith.

Still getting over us winning a game

21 man squad announced and no Jack Brown even without Evans not likely to be with the club any longer. Seems Brown is either not up to speed in training or is not a player than Smith wants.
Good to see Trueman finally named hope he goes well.

2. Adam Swift, 3. Carlos Tuimavave, 4. Liam Sutcliffe, 5. Darnell McIntosh, 6. Jake Trueman, 7. Jake Clifford, 8. Ligi Sao, 9. Danny Houghton, 10. Chris Satae, 12. Jordan Lane, 13. Brad Fash, 14. Joe Lovodua, 15. Joe Cator, 17. Cam Scott, 19. Ben McNamara, 23. Josh Griffin, 25. Davy Litten, 26. Harvey Barron, 27. Will Gardiner, 30. Scott Taylor, 33. Brad Dwyer.

Same as against Hudds. Thought we'd see Tex, interesting to see how Litten goes against Wigan though

Good to have Trueman in, I'd definitely play him and get him up to speed ready for Wakey.

Really frustrating what happening with Savelio and Brown, be good to have some clarity from the club.

Might as well look to trade them, two players who would attract interest from other clubs.

I can only assume we've triggered Brown's extension to get a few or use him as a bargaining chip

Just make sure we get a fee or a player, I'm sure Rovers would sign him, but can't let him go for free like Litten, Abdul and Connor.

Milnes or Ryan maybe?

Milnes would be a good shout.definately a decent player in there
