Maybe so, but what's the point of playing him if he's injured, might as well have a fully fit Tierney at full back than a half fit Sam and then he'll be fit for this Friday

What's your likely team, your Majesty?

Dom Crosby went off injured on Friday with a recurrence of an arm injury and is expected to miss out so I'm guessing we'll line up-

Tomkins
Manfredi Sarginson Gildart Tierney
Williams Smith
Flower Powell Mossop
Isa Bateman O'Loughlin

Subs- Sutton Tautai Bretherton Shorrocks

Clearly way off our strongest side with 7 guaranteed starters plus Nuuausala missing but I'm sure we'll give it a crack.

Looking forward to it.

whats up with gelling??

Hopefully our much maligned attack will burst into life on Friday
Maybe the previous 20 odd weeks have been a cunning plan to lull the unsuspecting opposition into a false sense of security for when the big matches come around and Friday is the first big match of the season.

Pectoral muscle injury. He came back to soon after he first did it.
Not seen any updates on him for a while and we're really missing him in attack.

One wigan player in the backs that does worry me more than tomkins

Likely team?

Tomkins
Tierney Gildart Sarginson Manfredi
Williams Smith
Flower Powell Sutton
Bateman Isa
O'Loughlin

Shorrocks Tautai Bretherton Mossop

Really glad Gelling isn't playing just wish Williams and Bateman weren't either. There the only players in worried about this Friday. As for our own, we're going to miss Watts go forward and offloads.

What would be your strongest line up if everyone was fit ?

Was thinking the same thing. From that line up

Tomkins
Manfredi
Gildart
Williams
Smith
Flower
Mossop
Isa
Bateman
O'Loughlin
Tautai
Sutton

would all be in the 17

and dont give me Joel Tomkins as he is dog 5hit

Tomkins
Manfredi Gelling Gildart Charnley
Williams Smith
Flower McIlorum Crosby
Bateman Farrell O'Loughlin

Clubb Tautai Sutton Tomkins

Wane loves Joel Tomkins and in truth I wouldn't be surprised if he still had him starting in a full strength Wigan team. He is a very good player to be fair when fit but he's been struggling with injuries to both his knees. The only change I could potentially see to that side would be Powell coming in for either Crosby or Sutton so it's 6 at best buy more then likely 7 missing (plus Nuuausala).

It's been the same all year though and we've no excuses. The squad depth is good and the 17 on the field on Friday are good enough to compete.

Whinging Wane has just been on radio two. Sounds like they have no chance We've bought all the players they haven't, we've not got injuries and they have.............. Oh and he want Warrington in the final. I hope we smash them
