Taken from Twitter, quotes from philkinsella

McIlorum has had an op , matty smith and Liam Farrell unlikely to play

Sam Tompkins and Lockers no chance this week for Wigan.

I won't believe it until I see the teamsheet on Friday.

Further to the above:-

Taken from "Wigan Today"

MAN of Steel Sam Tomkins is one of five stars battling to be fit for Friday’s trip to Widnes.

The full-back twisted his ankle in Sunday’s hard-fought 36-23 win at Wakefield.

Matty Smith, Pat Richards, Ben Flower and Mike McIlorum also picked up knocks and received treatment yesterday.

With a five-day turnaround between matches, Shaun Wane said he may not know until later this week who – if any – will be fit to take part in the Sky-televised clash. The coach is already missing Australian stand-off Blake Green (ankle) and captain Sean O’Loughlin (knee).

Wane said: “I’d made no secret of the fact I was already planning to give a chance to a couple of younger players.

“But we’ll have to see how we go this week with the injuries before we know which way we’re going to go.

“They’re not serious injuries, but with such a quick turnaround we may just be beaten by the clock.

“We’ll have a better idea later in the week.”

Although Wane has insisted Wigan are not a one-man team, he is well aware of their dismal record in matches without Tomkins. In the last six games when he has been absent, the Warriors have failed to register a win.

Wane will once again look to his youngsters to provide reinforcement.

Dom Crosby, Jack Hughes and Tom Spencer played on dual-registration for Leigh on Saturday – Spencer was the sponsors’ man of the match – and Epa Lauaki should be back from a bout of sickness.

George Williams, who has twice featured in the first-team this season, could also come into the frame – he scored a hat-trick playing for the Under-19s in an 80-0 win at Wakefield last Saturday. Tomkins – who had scored tries in a joint-club record 11 consecutive matches until Sunday – is expected to be named in the England squad today for next Friday’s clash against the Exiles.

O’Loughlin, Josh Charnley, Lee Mossop, McIlorum and Liam Farrell may also be in the 20-man panel, from which the team will be chosen. The Exiles side – comprised of Super League’s best overseas players – will be named tomorrow.

Even with Tomkins and lockers missing its a huge bonus, can't quite believe it myself but I hope it's true icon_smile.gif

Massive opportunity for Widnes this, and a chance to help the rest of us out by stealing some points off Wigan a014.gif

Ryan Hampshire and Lewis Tierney will make their Wigan debuts on Friday.
They, along with George Williams, played for the England U18s against France two/three weeks ago.
Seems Wigan will be without Tomkins, poss Charnley, Richards, Green, Smith, Prescott, Dudson, McIlorum, Farrell, O'Loughlin & Flower.
Any of you Widnes fans fancy your chances?

If Wigan have that many players of that quality missing on Friday then yes, we have to fancy it a bit. We could do with one or two of our long term injuries back, then 'd fancy it a lot.

If they don't want to play on it then fair enough, it just gives us more of a chance of beating you again.

To be fair it's only Widnes players that seem to get injured on it.

So he only wants to play in competitive games, does he? While he's obviously a once-in-a-generation talent, he's getting way way too big for his boots I'm afraid. icon_rolleyes.gif

I fancy our chances. Why not. Wigan are a class outfit even with some players out and will be a tough nut for any team to crack.

Can't wait for this one!
