Crookes has been in and out of the side and now Lineham is injured he should get a run of games so we can see how good (or bad) he is.

Whiting is better off the bench.

Kevin Sinfield.

Big chance to get the 2pts here. (optimistic hete) beat saints , could finish 5th and go into playoffs off the back of 5 straight sl wins with a home tie . Coyh

It's a good opportunity to get the 2 points with so many established players out of Wigans team, but after last weekend I'm trying not to be too optimistic ever again! If Saints lose to Warrington this weekend and we manage to beat Wigan it would make final game at home to Saints very interesting!

5th would be nice!

wasn't Crooks back in his boot after the game?

again, just a thought mate, i'd prefer whiting to be on the wing

We haven't got the forwards Leeds had when they could play sinfield at 13.

13 who fills in at 6 when needed

1 Shaul
2 Crookes
3 Crooks
4 Yeaman
5 Briscoe
6 DJ
7 Miller
8 Watts
9 Houghton
10 Green
11 Tickle
12 Westerman
13 Whiting

14. Bowden
15. Johnson
16. Pitts
17. Horne

I'd start horne and bench either miller or holdsworth. That side should get a comfortable win tomorrow if they turn up and play well

Would be my team, using Horne as interchange hooker to give Houghton a bit of a rest.

That side should be good enough to beat the side that Wigan have picked.

You hope !!

yeah i would go with that - crookes needs games to prove his worth more than other players tbh i can see him being shipped out next season if he dosn't take this chance

Horne needs to start.

Must be the first time ever Wigan have got a start with the bookies against us at their home ground
