Wakefield on Sunday. : Mon Feb 24, 2014 1:27 pm
Shaun Wane says he wants to coach Wigan in the WCC again and I hope he does.He therefore has to get his squad together for the Wakefield game which is the start of the rest of our season.
He may have a few absentees though.
It's possible Pettybourne may be suspended.
Lockers looked in trouble with strapping on his thigh and knee so he may well not play.
Also thought Goulding appeared to be struggling with injury.
SW could go with four props but when Lockers doesn't play usually starts with Flower at 13.
Could he switch Clubb to prop perhaps? Gelling in for Daz if he's not fit.
Plenty time as he only has to name his squad on Friday.
FWIW my guess he'll go with :-
Bowen,
Charnley, Goulding/Gelling, Sarginson, Burgess.
Green, Smith,
Dudson, McIlorum, Taylor,
Farrell, Hughes,
Flower.
Bench - Crosby, Clubb, Bateman, Hampshire.
We need a win of course but I think SW will be looking at some better games from a lot of his squad after the Roosters and Giants defeats.
