Looks like Huddersfield will be without Fages

And Levi - never like the opposition missing some of their players - would prefer to watch full strength teams (though I'd probably cope if Alex Walmsley missed Good Friday..)

Definitely and it’s still a tough game even without them two.

Levi and Thage both banned. Disciplinary pinging everything at the moment.

P.s



this game should definitely be on sky imo

Big losses for them but they’ve got good depth. I guess Pryce might now be available and can slot in at 6 or 1 to cover Fages loss (doubt they’ll want to move Lolohea given his start at fullback mind) and O’Brien can come in for Levi. I’m not sure if Cogger is injured or just not being picked but he’s there as well, so they’ve got good options.



A really tough game awaits. They look like they could be the dark horses for honours this year, with Watson now having his lads in there. They aren’t lacking in quality in any position really.

Hello cowbell in the stand,

Is this place at your command...

Hopefully it’s in Wigan tv

It's a shame it's on a Thursday when it's not on TV - I'm assuming it's due to a Latics game. We have three Thursday home games in a row - on the plus side that's it then for the rest of the year.

I especially don't like it, cos Thursday nights are my pub night!





But I'll be at the DW on Thursday, nevertheless.

Yes it is - they are at home on Saturday.

Well it seems someone wanted to make an example of gale, so they had to ping Levi for the same thing - but we all know by round 5 that wouldnt be a ban. AOB to do 80 minutes.

Cogger is injured - syndesmosis and will be a few weeks yet, so I expect the change to be at full back. The obvious choice would be Pryce who could play either in the halves or at FB but Watson sees him more as a fullback _ it very much depends if he's fit. Otherwise its how Watson wants to play it he could go with defensive Golding to fullback and Lolohea in the halves, but may even throw a curve ball and put Ashall Bott in at full back who he really seems to like, he certainly has speed and guile but is very lightweight and i'm not convinced he has the team creativity.

The rest of the team should remain as was.

I wasn't expecting a win this week but with our two most creative players out this makes it tougher.,
