Hampshire back for the Reserves next week

Good news - wil be interesting to see if he gets in ahead of Shorrocks at 6.

With us having Wakefield next Sunday then away to Hull FC I can see Farrell being rested or benched for both those fixtures.
Smithies returns so we have him, KPP, Isa and possibly Nsemba in the 17 for the back row.
Shorrocks at 6 again for Waney then for HullFC Hampshire off the bench with Shorrocks to 2nd row or bench.
After Shorrocks performances against Leigh, Saints and Wire he is virtually un droppable now.

Three incredible results with each of the opposition teams restricted to six points.

The video ref gave us 12 of our 13 tries

Its certainly an option and brings us another attacking outlet.

Shorrocks has done great the last two games, but he's not a 6. I'd be looking to put him at 13 and move Smithies to SR, but then what do we do with Isa who is also playing very, very well.

Give him a rest, he was non stop last night.

Re: Wire (A) : Sat Apr 15, 2023 4:19 pm  

Just play Isa down the Middle he's better there will run at full tilt and defend all game. Without Coops and maybe Singo a pack with Ellis Byrne Havard Smithies Isa Mago can rotate that middle Hill gets a shout against Wakey if a rest is needed.

He’ll be fine Isa. He had a rest on Good Friday and hasn’t been selected in one or two. His face looks like oddly shaped potato at the minute but I doubt he’d have it any other way.

Wigan deserved to win. Well done.
We never really got into the game - a lot of that being that we weren't allowed to.

I wasn't happy with a few of the decisions but arguing/debating the merits of those doesn't get over the central issue that overall Wigan were better in too many aspects.

The interesting thing for me is how well we go against Saints after our defeat.

Well said Fez, I didn't expect that from you given that you hate Wigan so much.
