It was myself who mentioned the 5 props and how all are big minutes props, which then means they won’t get those minutes when you play all 5. I’d only have 5 in the 17 if Mago is one of them (or maybe if they give Hill a chance after his loan spell) and if he isn’t, 4 from that 5 selected last Saturday is comfortably enough. They all can do 40 minutes plus and furthermore, I think all need those sort of minutes to show their best.

Byrne up to starting tomorrow IMO and Mago to take Singletons bench spot.

I don't think it'll be Powell dropped. At the game I noticed that O'Neil got caught three or four times with his back to the play the ball, a big no no defensively.

I don’t think for a second that Powell will be dropped nor even that O’Neil played well on Saturday just that if Peet really wanted to show that nobody’s place is safe then dropping Powell would be a way of doing it and getting a strong message out.
At the end of last season when Powell came back his form was mediocre to poor and for me I would have retained O’Neil at 9. Totally agree that defensively Powell is far superior and there is little to zero chance of him being dropped.
I’m hoping that with Tommy now coaching that Powell will start playing a more expensive game and give us broader kicking options at the last tackle.

We've been hoping for some of that for the last 6 years. It isn't helped by how we play though. He's obviously told to just get the ball into the halfback's hands as quickly as possible.

Hi folks. How long has the site had this new look? I lost my log-in and haven't been able to post for a while.

Pretty much agree with the consensus: line speed and discipline were very poor last week, and King looked like an accident waiting to happen in defence..

Good Morning Pies, Just wondering if anyone can confirm if tickets are available on at the ground tonight or am I best off buying online?

Re: Wakefield (h) : Fri Feb 24, 2023 9:29 am  

Buy online and download to your phone.

Presume you will be in the E1-E2 blocks of the East Stand

Given both Ellis and Havard have been used midweek to promote the game in the press I’d expect them to play so probably be Singleton that misses out if they bring Mago in.

Sometimes they have it on Wigan TV not 100% sure on this game though. If it’s not on then unless they are down at the DW with their camcorder then it ain’t on

Can’t see it. Wigan TV aren’t allowed go show them live and since Covid days, games aren’t being streamed anywhere. Leeds v Hull is the Sky game, so imagine it’ll be that.
