Looks like no suspensions for either side. I reckon Pryce only makes the squad if both Olly & Theo are out. Personally, I'd play him in the halves if Theo wasn't fit. I do agree about Pryce, though, Jools, to me he has real promise but that's all it is at the moment, and even if he was match fit, I don't think he makes our best 17.

I think it would have been the same side as for the semi final but for Russell's injury. I hope Chris Macqueen is available. I would play Cogger too.

Sounds like McQueen is definitely fit and going to play which is excellent news.

I reckon Cogger is definitely in if Ollie isn't fit. I hope he makes it as he has done really well since the back end of last season and this one as well.

He definitely deserves to get a chance to play in a final. He’s come on loads in the last 12 months.
Let’s face it you want to see both sides playing their best players in the big games.

If you'd told me last year how much I'd be hoping for Olly to be fit for our biggest game in many years, I'd of laughed hard. Happy to admit how wrong I was and how much credit Olly himself, Watson and all the coaching team is owed.

Re: Team for the final : Tue May 24, 2022 9:17 pm  

I think both Theo and Ollie are fully fit and Watson is trying to force Wigan to have gameplans for all our halves and spend less time on each. Would be suprised if both of them don't play.

Agreed regarding pryce he has been overhyped, last year Russell was the star of the show in terms of control and assists and he's carried his form into this season. Didn't know toulouse was pryces last game serving his ban thought he completed it the week before.

Lots of talk this week about matty playing in the final, I assume that means he will be playing for Seb?

Re: Team for the final : Thu May 26, 2022 12:09 pm  

Disappointed with the injuries affecting Fages and Seb but hopeful for Saturday.

Re: Team for the final : Thu May 26, 2022 1:35 pm  

Pryce, McGillvary, Leutele, Golding, Lolohea, Hill, Levi, Lawrence, Jones, McQueen, Yates, English, Greenwood, Cogger, Trout, O'Brien, Wilson, Cudjoe, Russell, I Senior, Hewitt.

Ive seen two teams named in the media- first one had fages in it - the second one did not! It looks like Fages is out which is a massive blow. you would think watson would name him anyway just to keep wigan guessing though!!!!! seb out too and no wardle so leroy will definitely play.
the only thing is will it be pryce or cogger.........
