Hamlin and TT (if Flower fit). I worry that Wane might revert to type and have 4 forwards on the bench and take Cas on upfront instead of playing round them

Flower has not been fit for months but he is integral to our success.
Oh you won’t find me arguing that point but can wigan really risk him in such a big game?

I’m not so sure tbh

the problem is if they want to play in the final, then they need to play tomorrow. I was surprised to see Flowers name in the squad. It would be a shame to leave Hamlin out just to see if Flower could be ready for next week.

I really hope Wane doesn't do something stupid to keep his pals happy and it backfires. Escare should be on the bench to mix things up if were struggling, but I can see him going with Flower, Sutton, Faz and either TT or Hamlin.

If is so difficult, but I think you could have different teams for games against Cas and Saints. Cas are capable of cutting loose and so I think we need escare. I would stand down Tautai and then weigh up Fas against Hamlin. I would go with Faz as he knows what is needed to get the job done and is less likely to make an error.

If we win and play Saints I would be very tempted to have Hamlin in ahead of escare as we can beat them by crushing their pack for 80 (and getting big men running at their little men).

There also the possibility of picking up injuries tomorrow, and changes being enforced on Wane.

Footballers spend 90 minutes pretending they're injured. Rugby League players spend 80 minutes pretending they're not.

If 75% fit he plays for me.

And me. Flower 75% fit is better than Tautai.

Don't think there are many who'd argue with you on that one.

Good side out tonight, best team we’ve got.
Farrell will be good coming off the bench
