Squad for Leeds : Wed Feb 16, 2022 12:05 pm  

Matt Peet confirmed that Wigan came away with just one injury from the victory over Hull KR as Brad O’Neill is named in the 21-man squad in place of the injured Iain Thornley. The rest of Peet’s squad stays unchanged from the one named to travel to Hull KR in round one.

Think the only question is who comes on the bench?

O’Neill, Shorrocks, Smith, Partington or even Miski (we had a back on the bench last week)

No idea how Peet with go.

I’d go Brad O’Neill or Harry Smith I think but I’d think Shorrocks might be favourite.

Same again bar that last bench spot.

Not sure on the logic in picking Shorrocks. There is a hooker who is better than Shorrocks and forwards that are better.

I'd like to see Miski Hardaker Bibby Marshall with O'Neil K P-P on the bench, plenty of options there

Has anyone checked if the Yorkshire Evening Post are ok with the ref choice?

Re: Squad for Leeds : Wed Feb 16, 2022 1:40 pm  

Personally I’d go for a forward orientated bench again. Smithies, Mago, Byrne and O’Neill would be my choices. If we’re to beat Leeds we need to beat their pack giving Sezer/Austin no room to play. Going with a back in the bench would be a wrong choice IMO. It’s going to be a tough, grind it out victory for either team and it’s going to be won and lost in the middle of the park.

Move KPP to the bench and put Miski and Hardaker as Winger and Centre. Same team after that for me.

Not seen that but they’ve done an article simply to list the absentees for Leeds.

It starts

Richie Myler-Fullback

And ends

Margaret Smith-Tea Lady

Just need to stop them from scoring barge over tries or from kicks, it's the only way they can score.
