If we bring similar attitude from last week more importantly then we have a chance to win this

True. We also need to be the ones lucky enough to benefit from the inevitable bizarre decisions in this week's episode of The Chris Kendall Show.

As stated Nicholson unlikely, but now a rumour of Williams and Wrench not looking likely - if that's the case we're in trouble.

Kasiano on the wing then.

If true then that probably means Mata'utia at half, Minikin on the wing and, I guess, Currie into the centres?

Hopefully both French and Field will get struck by lightning before tomorrow evening.

They say you can tell a good ref by how little he gets noticed - well I never notice Kendall - apart from every second he's on the s*dding pitch. While I've got the soapbox out, can someone explain to me why the video ref warms up? Surely some finger cracking and a quick game of 'find new batteries for the remote' would be more appropriate? I have made my decision!

Aw, c'mon! We've already been on the wrong end of the Kendal refereeing lottery a couple times this season. Surely it's our turn to have forward passes ignored, "stripped" called whenever we knock on and any break by yourselves called back for some imaginary infringement in back play! I can almost hear the hooter for all those lovely '6 agains' as I write....

Rumours of Walker at 7.

Re: Squad for Wigan. : Fri Jul 14, 2023 3:22 pm  

For the first time since DP's been in charge the 17 won't be decided until this evening. But it's looking Williams & Wrench won't pass fitness tests.

The plan is to have either Walker or Whitehead at #6, Minikin on the wing with Matautia & Ratchford in the centres.

Originally I thought having Walker or Whitehead in the halves would be a disaster, but how much worse can they be than Matautia ? At least Walker has a kicking game !
