From what I saw today only Cayless picked up an injury so will we/should we go unchanged?

If Long is fit I'm sure he'll be back in the starting 13 regardless of how well Wilkin did at 6

Also the rumours about Wello's knee being bad might make 3 games in 8 days a little too much for him so anyone think we'll give Lomax another run at fullback?

1.Wellens/Lomax
2.Gardner
3.Gidley
4.Gilmour
5.Meli
6.Pryce
7.Long
8.Graham
9.Cunningham
10.Hargraves
11.Puletua
12.Flannery
13.Wilkin
14.Roby
15.Fasavalu
16.Ashurst
17.Clough

Looks good to me. Think Potter said a few weeks ago , they were delaying Wellens' op until after Easter. So I think he may risk him against the Pies and then give a couple of weeks off.

Meli could get cited for the high shot on Sinfield late on. Doubt Longy will make Thursday as Wilkin knew he was playing 6 all week which suggests he a bit off.

Also Wheeler should be fit for Thursday, So Wheeler to 6, Wilkin to back row, Clough on bench for Cayless.

Would be good to get Wheeler back but I thought Potter had Long penciled in for the Wigan game ? .. Ah well if not then I'm sure we'll cope

Me thinks it could be closer than we think. The intensity of narrowly defeating Barrow isn't quite the same as that today against Leeds.

I think he will rest Wello, Longy and Cayless won't play. Should be an interesting game and certainly closer than the meaningful games have been in recent seasons.

come on give over now. They are quaking, expecting a huge score against them, which is pretty much what will happen, send wello for his op now he can rest up til the grand final

They're just like me, secretly confident of a win and just posting negatives online because they can't stand the anticipation.

Wigan aren't that bad a side. It would be like us losing away to Hull KR or Wakefield or Catalans, all things we've done in recent years. Add in the derby factor and the potential Gleeson debut and it could be interesting for them.

the difference between those sides and wigan is that we have a lot of local lads who will always be up for the derby, whereas we might relax too much against the others

I think Frodsham will play against Wigan and depending on knocks Emmitt may come into the reckoning.

I dont expect the backs to be much different, with perhaps the exception of Wheeler in the halves.

I would be tempted if i was coach to rest Graham, and play Frodsham from the bench along with Maurie, Roby and Ashurst.

Pulatua would start upfront with Hargreaves.
Back three of Wilkin, Clough and Flannery as normal.

If everyone is fit then I'd go with :
1. Wellens
2. Gardner
3. Gidley
11. Gilmour
5. Meli
6. Pryce
7. Long
10. Graham
9. Cunningham
15. Hargreaves
13. Flannery
12. Wilkin
17. Clough

14. Roby
16. Puletua
23. Fa'asavalu
28. Ashurst
Rest Cayless, looked like he got a bad knock to his shoulder.

Full team to play!

No mercy!

(Hopefully!)

is he ever fit cayless!
when do you think we might see foster?
