first of all you wrote 18 players there, 2ndly Noble will not leave Smith out after spending so much on him

If you check again, it is 17, I think only 1 of Riddell or McIlorum will play.

So, can anyone confirm that Tim Smith has been dropped with S.Tomkins starting and Mickey Mac coming onto the bench for definite?

Smith is not playing definite

Sam is starting in all probability

Micky Mac on the bench a possibility.

I still say Wigan don't bring through their own players....................we'll only have Ainscough, S Tomkins, O'Carroll, McIlorum, Hansen, J Tomkins, Hock and O'Loughlin playing tonight afterall

This is the side i spoke of a couple of weeks ago were the fans will be prepared to give it a chance even if things aren't going overly well.

One thing we'll get from this side tonight(bar maybe Coley) is effort and commitment and you can't really ask anymore.

Don't worry, Paul Prescott is nearly ready...If not ready now.

Hopefully.

I thought at the beginning of last season he was going to become our first real quality homegrown prop in a longtime but injuries put paid to that.

Eamon O'Carroll looks well on his way to being that at this moment in time but theres room for 2 quality young props in this side without doubt.

Wigan - Mathers, Veivers, Pryce, Goulding, Marsh, Howarth, Mellor, Davies, L Tomkins, Prescott, Mossop, Flanagan, Farrell

Replacements - Gerrard, Thornley, Cunningham, Molloy


That was the reserve team today, just to clear things up

Logan Tomkins has been pushed right through by the looks of things after only being sub for the u18's in the majority of team sheets i seem to recall seeing last year.
