would put Whiting with Lineham on the wing then, Whiting's experience will help with Lineham and also with Briscoe at full back

agreed, turner is just appalling in defence and has been for weeks, wont happen though

Be nice to see Turner get dropped but can't see it happening. Richard whiting is one centre who can get his winger away.

Such a shame young Crooks is out. Would have been bye bye Turner.

Don't forget the injury problems wigan had at Leeds - their youngsters/back up players made a seamless transition and crucified Leeds.

Still be the toughest fixture of the season, but you never know!

I'd pay good money to see Goldie kick seven shades of sh7t out of Tomkins.

Why?

Whiting into the 17 and Nicklas dropping out will probably be the only change.

Whiting at 1 and Briscoe back on the wing.

Whiting at 13 and Briscoe to stay at 1 for me.

He's done well there but he's a winger but we have a few who can play 13. I would prefer to have Whiting at 13 on a regular basis but needs must in our current spot.

Me too, any news on Seymour?

Not sure about Heremia at halfback.

My team would be

Briscoe
Lineham
Turner
Yeaman
Foster
Mcgoldrick
Seymour/Heremia
Lynch
Houghton
Watts
Manu
Westy
Whiting

O Meley
Heremia/Nicklas
Aspinwall
Pitts

Think we really could do with Seymour been fit for friday. Heremaia was poor on sunday and although he plays with plenty of enthusiasm, he just isnt a scrum-half. We need him rotating with Houghton at 9, it's becoming fairly obvious that Houghton is starting to struggle and picking up niggling injuries probably down to the fact that he's played far too many minutes this season already. If Wigan are going to be without their first choice half back pairing, I think this is a game were Seymour could really step up and control the game for us. I just cant see us troubling Wigan too much if we persist with Heremaia at 7.

Heremia/McGoldrick were better than Horne/Seymour on Sunday,Houghton didn't seem to struggle either. IMHO.

except Houghton didn't play the second half. I like the idea of Seymour and McGoldrick with two top-class rotating hookers. I think we need something special against Wigan in the hooking role to mix it up a bit.

Including our long term injuries we are expected to be without Richards, Fielden, Flower, Tommy, Finch, Goulding and O Loughlin. Can see this been no more than an 8 point win either way. Looking forward to seeing how Sam Powell goes in the halves. Im predicting 28-20 to Wigan but wouldnt be surprised to to see Hull edge this one. We seem to have a habit of playing badly at home in front of big crowds.
