wigan are not a poor team, dark horses for the grand final imo,

The scandal of it all, is the uneducated Sky decision makers who choose any team to back up so quickly after such a gruelling intense game like a Challenge cup semi final.

Radders will freshen the team up, but I’m not expecting the points in this one.

I agree it's a short turnaround and is very unfair on your lads as well as us lot who wanted to travel.
Whether Wigan are a poor team is for you to judge as I being a Wigan fan will just read your and appreciate your opinions.
Lam has suggested most of Wigan's injured will be back. Manfredi, Davies and Joe Bullock are out so this will be the squad I guess will be selected.

Hardaker,
Marshall, Sarginson, Gildart, Burgess, Williams, Leuluai, Flower, Powell, Clubb, Greenwood, Farrell, Smithies. Bench - O'Loughlin, Navarette, Partington & Sammut.

We are short of props so Lockers may be played there and Smithies at 13. This is only guesswork by me but going off what Lam's said I don't think the Wigan squad will be too much different.

It is. Had it been the other way round I have little doubt we would be saying there no excuses for us not doing a job on an opposition that's backed up after a semi final when we'd had a fortnight off and bodies back.

the only thing worse than this game being a short turnaround will be the rfl giving us kendall in the middle

wigan are on song atm, i fear another hefty home defeat unless the squad is freshened up

As far as Wigan teams go, I’d say that’s the poorest one I’ve seen in a long time, not sure I’d have any of them in the Hull team, Hardaker maybe, although he’s not set the world alight. What Wigan do have going for them is, that they will defend with intensity, match that and we win comfortably. Makes me laugh this forum, anyone says a bad word about the coach or our performance and you all jump to the defence or make excuses, yet hardly anyone as any confidence in the team to win a game, it’s really quite bizarre. Anyways hull by 16 Thursday night

Delusion at its finest, Hardaker Gildart Flower Farrell Greenwood and O’Loughlin would walk into your team

Not sure we would want Lockers, we have our own senior talisman Ellis.

Flower, we have Taylor Bowden Green, and Paea, plus Massi and young Jack Brown.


Zak, we have Shaul, and Jake Connor, with young Connor Wynne as back up.

Faz, yes please

Gildart, Young Oli has probably got eyes for the NRL

Wigan after a shaky start are coming good as they usually do, at the business end of the season.



Greenwood, don’t think he’s convinced Wigan fans yet.

What has happened to Bienek??

Scattering kids is all good and well but taking on exoerienced, seasoned SL forwards is a different story.
Maybe hae's not up to it?
