Well well well. Just waiting for Nicky Kiss to condemn Wigan for not helping the International game.....

I knew Field would be withdrawn as soon as he was brought off on Friday with two minutes to go.

Great news for Wigan. Get the boys rested up and ready to go.

French hasn’t been withdrawn he wasn’t picked.

Field had ice on his hamstring when he came off.

Sounds like this could become a bit of the farce already with the 5 Huddersfield players out, Field and Connor missing too.

I don't care who plays for the All Stars. England selection is what concerns me.

Bit misleading to say the least! French can't withdraw from something he wasn't even picked for!

French hopefully has got hand strain from signing that new Wigan contract

I’ve posted elsewhere already that all the clubs are a disgrace in deciding to follow the lead of Kristian Woolf and Saints from last season.

It’s being treated as a mid season break by everybody, just as Saints decided to do last season and it’s pathetic. I keep seeing people calling it a pointless game and it now is but only because the clubs are making it that.

Bateman and Farrell in 20 man squad

Two players missed out from Saints, two played. I think that compares to 3 from Wigan maybe. The two who missed out didn't play in our next fixture the following week so maybe we wait and see whether other withdrawals miss a game through their withdrawal injuries?

We have 5 in the squads this time despite Percival, Lomax and Knowles not being available/selected.

You can blame Woolf if you like (that well known hater of international RL) but I'm not sure it stacks up all that well.
