No shocks.

Smith CANNOT play. I was watching the game again the other night, he is the most useless defender i have ever seen.

Also good too see Pryce has been dropped in replace of Roberts, i have seen nothing so far so state that Pryce will offer anything to Wigan.

Smith and Goulding to miss out.

smith to miss out, i hope, and probably goulding.

Goulding and Smith to miss out.

He may go with Smith on the bench as he did v Salford with Tommy going to 9 when Piggy is spelled and Smith coming into the halves.
McIlorum might be one to miss out again.
Moving Tommy to 9 does work although he finds it difficult doing 80 mins when he does. At the moment we need Tommy out there as long as possible.
Agree that I can't see where Goulding fits in with Roberts probably starting Bailey will play centre. Goulding and Roberts on the right would be a Hudds dream come true!

If Smith plays he will leave gaps big enough to drive the Huddersfield team coach through they will target him and if its a close game that will be the difference between winning and losing

So given Roberts is on a four year deal is that the end of Goulding at the club then?

I think we have had most trouble down the right when Smith has been hanging out on that side of the pitch and either Goulding or Roberts has had to cover for his failings.

One thing is for sure is we need to sort that right centre slot out. Bailey is a stop gap and too slow. If Goulding is not good enough then we need to do something but I would like to see Goulding given the chance in a team minus Smith !!

I like most am concerned about Smith's defence but I reckon Noble might include him in the 17.

To his credit he did set up 2 tries against Salford.

Speaking of contracts does anyone know how to find how long the players are contracted for? Bilko used to have a page for it but I can't find it anymore.
