and we didnt need pace against Cas, Quins etc

It's flexibility isn't it to use the centre best placed to fill a week spot if one of our 2 senior wingers are injured?

my thoughts too....


Although perhaps Houghton for Whiting - sorry Richard

must pay attention...

1 Tansey
2 Hall
3 Whiting
4 Yeaman
5 Briscoe
6 Horne
7 Long
8 Dowes
9 Berrigan
10 Radford
11 Tickle
12 Manu
13 Fitzgibbon
14 Cusack
15 Meley
16 Lauaki
17 Houghton

Moa & Turner to miss out

replace turner for whiting, whiting on bench, houghton and moa to drop out

1. Tansey
2. Hall
3. Turner
4. Yeaman
5. Briscoe
6. Horne
7. Long
8. Radford
9. Berrigan
10. O'Meley
11. Manu
12. Tickle
13. Fitsgibbon

14. Dowes
15. Lauaki
16. Cusack
17. Whiting

Whiting to spell Berrigan, with Tansey at dummy half the majority of the time, and Whiting defending and attacking in the middle. Much like the end of the Cas match
Great ingenuity by Agar imo.

Think its a horses for courses situation this week with 1 of Wigans biggest strengths been the kick to the corner for Richards it makes sense to play Hall and Whiting together who are taller players and generally better in the air then Calderwood.

I dare say the fact that we are up against Martin Gleeson and Carmont who are 2 of the best attacking centres in the league it makes sense for us to combat this with Yeaman and Whiting in our centres who are generally solid in defence.

Calderwood, Washbrook, Burnett along with Turner and Moa (proabably) all missing out shows what good strength in depth we have at the minute and at times like Easter this will prove to be invaluable imo.

Having seen the squad :

1 Tansey
2 Hall
3 Whiting
4 Yeaman
5 T. Briscoe
6 Horne
7 Long

8 Radford
9 Berrigan
10 O'Meley
11 Tickle
12 Manu
13 Fitzgibbon

14 Turner
15 Lauaki
16 Dowes
17 Moa

18 Cusack (would play if Radford isn't fit, Dowes to start, Cusack on bench)
19 Houghton (possibly on the bench for Turner)

Starting 13 unbeaten so far this season so I'd go with that. But I think Agar will go with Cusack instead of Moa.

And rightly so Moa has not done enough to depose the current props.

why isnt calderwood in the team? not injured is he

agar will play cusack over moa but id go with moa, also what do people think of moving briscoe to right winger and hall on the left wing. but has moa had the game time to impress like the others have had ?

Cusack has hardly set the world alight though.

I would have assumed so.

dont say that on here everybody loves him
