He's more likely to go looking for work than Higginson IMO and will get involved at dummy half and make decent meters.
Plus, he finished the last home game in alright fashion, so he should take confidence from that.
There's a very capable 17 in that squad, which is scary to think there's still 7 front line players not available. Bar far and away the best squad in the league. Been saying it all season (and thinking it may never happen now) but I can't wait to see our 17 with only 1 or 2 out.

Re: Derby Squad
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Do you mean Jack Higginson??
Re: Derby Squad
Only problem Adam is I think Tierney will be targetted last tackle and his 1 on 1 defence.

Re: Derby Squad
I watched Joe Burgess for the Bunnies last night. Didn't hardly get a pass all night, virtually his only involvement was to defend, defend, defend (with varying degrees of success).
I'll bet he wishes he was still at Wigan!

Re: Derby Squad
How much they target him remains to be seen, their strength is their left side so tend to go that way.

I'd be more worried for Jack Owen than Lewis Tierney CP.cpwigan wrote:Only problem Adam is I think Tierney will be targetted last tackle and his 1 on 1 defence.
Owen facing Tierney is edged by Tierney for me.
Swift facing Tierney is towards Swift.
Owen facing Manfredi is a total mismatch.
If our centres keep to their task I'm not overly concerned.
Tierney can catch a high ball, not seen young Higgy under the high ball though to suggest he's a stronger option.
