I think Danny will play think he's back training if I was him I'd say ill be ready in six weeks but he will put his body om the line not like certain players as of late. Chan, Eseh, Balmforth ban(stupid hit), Ligi's late hit was no worse than 3/4 yesterday, Carlos probably out again, Walker gone for season oh the joys, I'd go
Moy
Martin

Ashworth

Was going to say i think Houghton will play this week. Carlos wanted to go back on on Saturday but the doctor wouldn't allow him to so hopefully he will be good to go along with Ashworh too.

Thats what struck me. The spine couldnt direct us at all. Young lads were brutally exposed esp Charles. We have had every single disadvantage a club could have had this season- but thats no excuse for saturdays outing. Im starting to count the days till Cartwrights arrival along with Asiata and some halfbacks. thought Jed c was good Barron and Martin were ok but thats about it

There were some late tackles, then there was Balmforths very late tackle, pointless doing it, I'd be surprised if he doesn't get a game or two ban, I'm not in any way saying that it was a bad tackle by the way, just stupidly late.

Wigan 64 -4 FC

FC get battered everywhere we go

I'd say in regards to Balmforth, I agree it was stupid effort however in all honesty it was probably borne out of pure frustration more than anything else. It doesn't make it right but certainly understandable from a young player given the appalling effort on the day and being sat on the bench until the game had ultimately gone before the Grix as the coach decided to put him on.

I know this won't happen, but I'd honestly rather play a couple more academy kids than play Fash and Sao again. I'm sick of the pair of them.

Laidlaw, Gardiner, Hodgson, AN Other

Is Ashworth a chance for this one? Obviously he would be in if he is.

4? that's being optimistic.

It was so late that the next game was almost ready to kick-off by the time he made it!!
I'll give the lad some slack and put it down to frustration more than anything at the end of another long 80 minutes for us, but I'll be surprised if he doesn't pick up a one game ban later today.

2 early penalties

Is that in hope

Better get Norris McWhirter on the blower for this one. Records will be tumbling all over the place.

Youngest ever Super League starting 13?
Most missed tackles in a game?
Least meters made in a game?
Lowest average meter gain in a game (Fash might already have this one)?
Least play the balls in the opposition half in a game?

The list could be endless.

There might be a few of us wishing we were already bottom and hadn't beat them last month by the end of this one!

Ligi and Balmforth both one game, Kaide Ellis one game for them.
