Good shout

[Graham1]

I would rest Farrell

[Wigan_forever1985]

I would rest Farrell

I understand the sentiment behind this - but i disagree hes in very good form and doesnt look like he needs a rest where-as some of the others do

[No straw damn us]

I'm really hoping Matty Nicholson gets a run out, one of the best prospects I've seen coming through the academy system in quite a few years.
