No, I prefer Bevan at FB but would like to see both him & field interchanging with the wing position through the game 😊

Why change him from left centre when that’s where he’s been playing? Jake Bibby is better at right & his preferred position.
Sunday was KPPs first game for Wigan at left centre. He played right centre every game at the start his this year until injury.

Jake Bibby has never played right centre for Wigan (played a lot of right wing in 2020/21), he is much more comfortable on the left where he’s played all this season and played there for Salford too.

I love them both as attacking fullbacks but jai gets the nod in defence and under the high ball

I'd go for French at full back

Isn't this great to have two such talented players

These two have been amazingly good for Wigan and I dont think the club realised what we were getting when we signed them or maybe I'm not being fair to the club!

When I spoke to Jake Bibby yesterday he said he prefers the right wing! So who do I believe? You or Jake?

Wing so not centre?

I’m just stating facts.

No just to play on the right, I added wing.

Just leave it there!!

Hurrell plays right centre for Saints so maybe they were looking how KPP could play in opposition i.e. a big athlete.

The strongest squad might just be the one where Tom Davies returns to us from Cats now that Johnstone has signed for them.

I'd assumed it would be Yaha whose place would be under threat - when Johnstone isn't injured :D
