It will be interesting to see what happens with the Ah Van / Owens choice!

Got to be in with a good chance given the Wigan absentees though! Just hope it brings a good crowd!

Re: Widnes 19 for Wigan : Wed Jun 05, 2013 3:11 pm  

I would stick with Owens, done very little wrong over the last few weeks, Ah van offers power certainly getting out of our own half but i would go with Jack. Hep i recon will start on the bench.

I'd agree with that. Owens has worked hard and deserves the place on merit, selecting him might also ensure Ah Van knows he needs to work hard too!

Cahill could be instrumental, but having spotted the absence of Marsh I'd be concerned about giving Hep too much too soon.

I'd be gutted if we lost. Injuries my booty. They did and last year and didn't learn from their mistakes.

As good as their youngsters are, probably the best in the game we should beat this time. It still has a bit of experience in it but so does ours. On the back of a good draw with Catalans we should be aiming for two points here.

I'd see it as more Ah Van / Flynn.

Owens wing play in general has really come on a lot the last few weeks. Plays clever in together situations and is quite powerful too.

So what if we don't have injuries? We're 3 points clear at the top of a meaningless table in a meaningless league. We may as well rotate and give the younger lads a chance when we're playing meaningless games.

Just because it's your cup final doesn't mean it's ours.

Meaningles game my booty! Go mickey up a rope.

If it was meaningless there wouldn't be 2 points on offer which would inch us closer to top 8.

If it's meaningless why doesn't the season start in September and you, Leeds, Wire & Hudds play semi finals to go to the Grand Final.

The likes of you give the game a bad name with elitist poop like that!

I'd go with:
Hanbury
Owens
Phelps
Dean
Ah Van
Brown
Mellor
O'Carroll
Clarke
Pickersgill
Winterstein
Allen
Leuluai

Joseph
Cahill
White
Kavanagh

Flynn a tad unlucky, he hasn't done a lot wrong lately, but we need the goal kicking of Owens. Only other alternative I can think of is starting Flynn, dropping White and playing Ah Van off the bench.

That's pretty much what happens. It's meaningless for us because we've already qualified for the playoffs. That's all you need to do in this league.

Like I said, just because it's means something to you doesn't mean we have to pander to it.
