I don't think MP is going to rotate his team prior to the C Cup semi. He mentioned about building and changing things around will only dilute that. After the semi, well perhaps that will be different.
It seems that Hudds have lost their last four at home. Let's hope they make it five on Saturday.

That was my take MD so, in effect that would rule him out of the semifinal. Personally, I think Walters will play at Huddersfield as an injury to either Faz or Jnr would present a major problem.
Call me Columbo but looking at the training photos posted by the club of them running through attacking drills, I noticed Cooper and Nsemba in bibs and Walters not. Going off past weeks it usually seems to be non playing members with the bibs on, acting as defenders, so maybe a clue to the side on Saturday.
Cooper and Nsemba nailed on to play now.
**Edit** I've given Columbo his flasher mac back! Saw Peets interview on Wigan TV and every bugger has a bib on at different points.

I'm more inclined to think Cooper won't play so "bibs out!"

Personally, I can't see how anyone who played last week now misses out? Obviously, I doubt any Wigan fan isn't excited to see how Walters goes, but Nesemba played well last week and should stay in.
It will be interesting to know the pecking order between Jnr and Walters too. Historically when picking a side, 9/10, Peet leans towards his senior players. Walters not coming straight back into the side, like most senior players do, says to me that Peet sees him as a youngster.

I would like Junior and Sam to get 40 mins each both at Huddersfield and in the semifinal.

As mentioned by others, I think we will start to take advantage of having props who can play big minutes in Thomson and Havard by selecting others who have something different to offer add in Ellis at 13 we have 3 props can do long mins:
Bench combination of Mago, Walters or Nsemba (with one starting), Dupree or Bryne.
With Leeming as 4th sub we now have a very varied attack during the game which has to make us a more dangerous side.
