Shows the squad depth we have. Charnley will do a great job, still not sure about Marsh defensively mind. But if most other sides lost 6 from their starting 13 they'd be struggling big time. Not sure we will be.

And therein puts the debate to bed on the other thread who has the strongest depth in the league. Take any 6 out of Wire, Leeds and Saints of their first choice 17 and they would be struggling big time.

That's correct but we are not playing SL opposition this weekend in the middle of the season and in the meantime we should have Sam T, Gleeson and possibly Fielden back by the end of Jan as per the official site this week. (Hopefully).

Every time Hansen starts to pick up his attacking game he seems to get an unlucky injury. He showed good form towards the end of last season and I was looking forward to see how his attacking game developed more this season. Hopefully when he returns he will be able to pick up from where he left off.

Here's a Warrington side missing 6 of its first choice 17:

Hodgson
J. Monaghan
Bridge
King
Evans
Briers
Myler
Morley
M. Monaghan
Wood
Westwood
Harrison
Grix

Cooper
Solomona
Williams
McCarthy

Not sure that team would be "struggling big time", I'd fancy it to beat the Wigan 17 named above. Certainly the three-quarter line offers considerably more threat and fire-power.

Yet still, one injury to Briers and you would struggle to beat a top 4 team.

Agree about Marsh. He's yet to prove himself for me. I'd have rather kept Pryce in our squad and sent Marsh to Quins

*opens can of worms*

It depends what the thinking was when they made the move. I assume they decided Pryce and Charnley both needed lots of game time this season with a view to one of them taking over the 4 shirt from Carmont in 2012 (Marsh surely out of the running), most assumed it would be Charnley who got sent out but they have opted for Pryce. I think short term it could be the wrong decision because I think Pryce would do the better job on the wing while Richards is out but long term a move away from the boo boys at the club and regular super league rugby for Pryce could prove to be the right option. He'll surely get a fairer crack of the whip from the fans if he impresses at Harlequins.

I trust MM's judgement.

But if you look at the players missing for Wigan: 2 half backs [One being possibly the best player in the country], our [Arguably] best Prop. The Man of FN Steel. If you had say Briers & Monaghan, Morley & King out [What I would consider the corresponding players], would you still be confident of beating that Wigan 17? I think I know where my money would be.
