I actually think it could be a real positive for us. It's a tough schedule but it will allow for plenty of rotation and that will help keep the whole squad motivated and match sharp. It should also offer up some chances for the likes of Douglas, Farrimond, Forber etc and that gives us longer term benefits.
There is definitely that and I've no doubt the Wigan staff and players will treat it as such. We have enough experience of Matt Peet now to know he sees any adversity as opportunity. That said, it would only take a couple injuries to make this spell exceptionally difficult.
Is there an argument for playing the props in 2 groups of 4 here to aid continuity of combinations? I don't ever recall it being done before and I'm not sure Peet would go that way but we have the personnel for it so it's an interesting thought if nothing else!
