Lindop : Sun Jun 02, 2024 3:46 pm  

Sufficiently better than Wrench and Tai to get a centre spot on Saturday (or is his actual competition Ratchford?)?
I wouldn’t be overly discombulated to see him play.

I agree with the Wrench display he really didn’t have a good game but tai, I thought he played really well again, gets stuck in and has a good go at bringing the ball out. for me he’s done more than enough for a Wembley spot.

Talk of Tai possibly up for a ban tomorrow. If so think my first choice would be Ratchford then Lindop, Wrench was poor yesterday. Not sure if I have missed it some place but as he not played in the reserves since returning from injury.

Wrench was dreadful yesterday but is it me or was he out on the wing a lot? did he swap with Lindop during the game?

He was on the right wing for most of the game, after 2 or 3 cock ups 2nd half, he moved to right centre, switching with tai

Wrench is no Ryan Hampshire that’s for sure…

I agree that Lindop was great Saturday, but not enough to get the nod ahead of Tai. Tais defence and meters gained make him the selection for me. He definitely needs to work on his passing but believe he is the best option.

Wrench just seems to be trying too hard at the moment snatching at his first team chances, and from that first knock on his confidence seemed to be shattered, needs some reserve games or a run to get him back there.
Ratchford not even a conversation apart from a single moment of magic he was poor on Saturday poor passes, the attack stops with him, that why im hoping that both Drinkwater and Tai have nothing from the MRP today.

That right centre spot is a key position. Most teams prefer attacking to their left edge so it will always take more attacking shape. Just look at the wingers that are at the top of their games and it is all left wingers (Marshall, Handley, Swift, Charnley, Hall)
Wigan will have Wardle and Liam Farrell back on their left edge.
I think Wrench is a potential superstar but it looks like every time he has a lay off from injury he comes back a bit rusty and maybe a bit giddy.

Great to have two prospects like Wrench and Lindrop fighting for a shirt. Wrench looked like he needed a few more games before being ready to take Tai’s spot. Lindrop is young but didn’t look out of place at all, closer to the finished article than Wrench bug Wrench had that electric pace and agility that is a point of difference. That’s our long term centre partnership, all being well.

Tai stays in for me though.
