The balance of the side hasn't been right in the opening 2 games. I'd leave Bailey out anyway but seeing as he picked up a knock in the Hull game he may miss out anyway.

I'll be very disappointed if we see that line up especially if it means Coley coming back into the 17. Ainsough is young and inexperiance but he is an out and out winger so should get a chance to show what he's got.

Personally I agree with 'jonh' that McIlorum should begin the game as Riddell has taken a knock but somebody of Riddell's stature coming onto the pitch as the Castleford side tire could allow us to open up more holes and offload in better positions.
I have always preferred Tomkins, a far more creative and smarter-thinking player than O'Loughlin to play at Loose with O'Loughlin doing his part within the 2nd row.
Hansen to start on the bench and to come on fresh and shore up the defence if leaky with Feka to punch some holes and Hock to add more attacking flair later in the game.
Not that the team will be anything like this however.

Gareth Hock to come off the bench for impact.
This is if Bailey doesnt make it, if he does, I'd start Bailey and have both Joel and Hocky on the bench.
Hansen was top tackler in SL last year, yet he cant get in our back row with our leaking defence at the moment - do the maths Nobby.
Your not going to change his mind on that one I dont think, Bailey will always be in before Hanson.
Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS

Hansen and Tomkins were our best 2 backrowers last season and they were also the best 2 in pre season along with Sean O'Loughlin yet both are starting on the bench and why? to me because it's the easiest option for Noble that won't rock the boat.
