Dixon/Gaskell to miss out - would start TP/Graham at prop with Flannery/Wilkin/Soliola in the back row to ensure we have 2 props on the bench (LMS/Clough) since Wigan will have 2+2 (Prescott/Lima/Coley/Mossop) and we need to make sure we don't become lightweight when Graham/TP are spelled.

Exactly what I'd do too, but can't see Royce doing it unfortunately. Although he did against Hull KR so there's always a possibility I suppose.
Is that your team or what you think Royce will do?
I'd much rather him swap Flannery for TP/LMS but I think you're spot on, depending on Clough's fitness after his run out. He's not like to manage more than 20-25mins after so long out.

That's what I think he'll do, personally I'd start 2 props on the bench.
He's goign to be a great asset against wigan, I think. His ability to win a couple of extra yards in contact will come in very handy against a defence that moves up extra quick.

Not to mention his tremendous defence.
