Wigan H - a must win ? : Tue May 17, 2022 12:53 am  

Surely a MUST WIN - I say this because we are due a response to the Saints garbage.
Also what message does another loss send ?

We have 3 away matches after this home game and I don’t fancy going to Wakefield on a losing run

We have to win in my opinion - no ifs or buts

Maybe not a must win and an important game.

You would have to be disappointed if we don't win, with them having the cup final next week, our home form and fact we only lose by a point away.

Has to pick the right team and drop underperforming players particularly when we have players ready to come in. It won't happen, but I'd go with

Connor
Swift
Wynne
Carlos
Mcintosh
Hookem
Gale
Sao
Lovodua
Evans
Lane
Mau
Brown

Satae
Taylor
Griffin
Houghton

Not a must win. Every game now is important though. Can see Wigan putting a full strength team out. Get among them early. Our home form been good this. Hopefully get a good crowd and get behind the lads

Kept changing my mind so had Taylor twice, Evans to come in if fit.

If not bring Mitch onto the bench

Great team that Dave but like you say BH is loyal to certain players so expect to see Reynolds at 6 and Houghton to start at 9

I'd go with that but with Mitch on the bench over Griffin, I'd were selecting players on form, in fact I'd have Wynne on the bench as utility option.

I think this will be his team. Hate the fact Hodgson has his favorites and won't give youth players a good go.

Brown, Wynne, McNamara, Scott have all featured pretty heavily this season when fit and Balmforth has made his debut.

Is Hookem seen more as a hooker now anyway? That's where he played for Whitehaven
