I think Stu M said he’s pencilled in for the next reserves game for his comeback, which is next weekend isn’t it? Minutes in that and they may look at putting him on the bench away at Hull FC. I’m looking forward to seeing how he goes. I get the feeling he’ll be a shrewd bit of business for us.

Yes he is down for playing in the Reserves next game

i agree, Hampshire is getting a second shot at Wigan, one he probably thought he would never get, you would like to think that will get him fired up and at his best.

Plus, with Field out for a while, he is being given the opportunity to stake his claim, probably earlier then he expected. I wille expect him to take a couple of games to get up to speed, given the injury he is coming back from though.

I think we saw similar with Thornley, he had a few great games for us before injuries started biting him, he was definately beating my expectations. Must be frustrating for the lad.

Being able to call on a player like Hampshire to cover the entire back line is why it was a great signing. It's not a marquee signing but his pay packet will reflect that and in a salary cap sport utility players like that are vital.

Sounds like we'll be going as strong as possible. https://wiganwarriors.com/blog/2023/04/ ... s-trinity/

Happen in any game that. See the last 3 weeks.

Not much we can do in the pack really with the injuries we have but I think I would rest Faz. Other than that I'd stay the same I think unless they think Thornley could benefit from a run, but with two new centres the more games they play with their winger the better especially one where they should get plenty ball.
