I hope we dont take this one as a given and dont play a weakened squad. Wigan have a habit of slipping up at so called easier games.
These are two reasons not to trust people.
1. We don't know them.
2. We do know them.

I'll second that, need to put some meat on the points for column!
Loads of weight up front now, time to use it and let our marvellous backs do the business!!

This is an opportunity to build on a promising few games. Play the young lads when they will benefit most but do not try to play them all together. Interesting to see Clubb out for Flower. It is vital that we bring Smith and the others on behind a pack that is going forward. I still really think that Smithies or Partington should be encouraged to run wider or on the cut back rather than always taking on a wall of the biggest defenders.

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

I see Bullock and Clarke both played for the reserves today. I was hoping Clarke may play against HKR but it looks to be Flower, Burgess, Partington and Byrne with possibly Havard too.
