Must be strongest squad we’ve had out this season should be a cracker

Re: KR (A) : Wed Apr 24, 2024 12:32 pm  

Great to see Havard named but I think I'd look to give him another week due to the intensity this game is likely to be played at. We need to make sure we're totally switched on from minute one here, because they will come out strong after that poor performance last week. Where I think we can get them is from the bench and by keeping our intensity really high throughout the game through them forward options, so I don't think it's a game to try and ease a forward in who has been out for 6 months.

I'd go-

Field
Miski Keighran Wardle Marshall
French Smith
Dupree O'Neill Thompson
Nsemba Farrell Ellis

subs
Mago Hill Cooper Leeming

Agreed let Havard play in reserves if they have a game on, then all being well bring him into the first team next week

I don't think we do have any reserves games for a while but still, I think I'd rather put him in at home against Catalans than away at HKR. Catalans have been playing really well and that game should be pretty intense as well but I think you can control things a bit better at home and it shouldn't be as frantic. We'll get battered on the penalty count on Friday, with that HKR crowd all over the ref as usual, so it will be taxing on the players match fitness.

Peet has confirmed Havard will play on his Wigan TV interview.

Said someone how has been playing really well will have to miss out so I assume that means Hill.

Fair enough, he has to come back in at some point I suppose. Once everyone is fit, the two nailed on props for me would be Thompson and Havard and then everyone else is in the mix for another 2 or 3 spots, so I can see why he wants him in asap.

I'd love to see them find a place for Hill thoigh. I think he's been superb but ultimately we can't get them all in and we knew that would be the case at some point.

Re: KR (A) : Wed Apr 24, 2024 2:43 pm  

I'm not convinced Havard should come straight back in with the ways the props are playing currently but the coaching staff will obviously have far more detail to inform that decision.

I think Dupree is nailed on, the rest are fighting for the fourth or sometimes the fifth spot.

Yea duprees nailed on and we have Byrne back next week I think. Really tough choices for Peet. We’re going to struggle to keep all happy. Could we stick Eseh and Hill out on loan to a SL side till end of the year keep them happy

I just hope he's fully recovered, it'll be a disaster for him if he breaks down again
