I think Brown'd move Turner to 6 over playing Gaskell to be honest.

We have options to Cover all problems.



Wigan also have injuries so its just a matter of getting on with it.



We might even see lomax got to 9 to fill the gap left by robes. Wello to fullback and Gaskell to 6. Thoughts ?

Wigan have got injuries in the forwards though. Their pack tonight is Crosby, McIlorum, Flower, Tuson, Farrell, O'Loughlin, with Hughes, Taylor, L.Tomkins and Burke on the bench. Even without Puletua, I reckon our pack should have the edge.

I don't know why there is this persistence that Gaskell is injured when he isn't. He has just been dropped, as has Makinson.



And deservedly so.

Bit harsh on Tommy that, he played well against wakey

I would rather see Flanagan move to 9 before Lomax.



Wello looked decent on Friday returning the ball (except when he passed to Meli in the in-goal!), but he was missing in the attacking line.



We have seen what Lomax has done and I think I'd do a Saddened if Lomax isn't at FB on Friday.

I think we might see the following line up, assuming that TP and Lance are out.



Lomax

Gardner

Jones

Percival

Meli

Turner

Wilkin

Perry

Speakman

Laffrancchi

Soliola

Manu

Flanagan



Subs



Wellens

LMS

Clough

Walmsley

No LMS Pete?

Missed him out as well lol



I was clearly not on on my game hahaha



Lms on bench to replace greenwood

It looks as though O'Loughlin could be missing (cracked or broken rib). We desperately need to get some of the bigger, more experienced forwards back soon. It's like an elastic band getting further and further stretched. I'm worried in case it snaps.



As I put on the Wigan site, last night for the last twenty minutes Liam Farrell was the oldest man in the pack, and he's not 23 until July.

There's a lot of possibilities with this one. I'd be surprised if Brown brings Gaskell back in he seems way down atm and although Makinson hasn't done anything wrong I can see Gardner playing if he's fit just to get a bit more experience in the team.



Lomax

Charnock

Does anybody else think that the challenge on TP from Godwin that led to the injury was a bit suspect. I recall somebody getting a ban last season for a similar challenge.
