Re: Wigan squad for Leeds (R21)
Any further updates on Mike Cooper? Be good to have him back so that we could spell others (and possibly omit some!)

Re: Wigan squad for Leeds (R21)
I believe that it is better to have Havard on the interchange bench as it ensures that we have got at least one of our premier props on the field at all times. Dupree’s best performances have come when he has started games and I think Matt Peet may consider this change in the coming weeks. At some point we are going to have to rotate our big boppers so that we get the best out of them when it matters most.the pieman wrote: ↑Fri Aug 09, 2024 2:23 pm i agree Morley, get the game won, then we've a weeks rest til Saints at Magic
it feels like some strange choices to be made at the minute. Havard and Thompson give us such a solid start, and both capable of performing at that level for 80, but seems like the intensity drops when subs are made. i appreciate some games (v saints at home recently), it may be difficult to get up to speed so quickly in a game of that intensity, but we need to make the most of having our best prop rotation for many a year and make sure they are all contributing when they play. We all know that our props give us something different and will all have a big role to play before the end of the season, but as you said about Thompson, get his some rest over the next few weeks to ensure hes 100% fit come the business end
as an alternative would it be worth spelling Havard / Thompson together, with Byrne, Mago, Dupree, Hill, Cooper taking the other prop role between them over the next few weeks? that way we aint flogging our 2 best 80 minute props?

Dupree 18th man today. Field starts. Byrne and Eckersley on the bench.

Never a try in a month of Sundays

Not a great start and not playing very well or smart again.
How have we ended up with moron Moore again? It’s getting ridiculous how often we have him.

No idea how that’s been awarded as a try! Clear separation, didn’t seem to even want to look at it twice

Re: Wigan squad for Leeds (R21)
Right thats enough.eckersley on for hampshire and lets try keighran at stand off.Its clearly not working with hampshire at 6.We might win this and hampshire might create 1 try but ae have better options with farrimond etc.At least farrimond creates and will only improve his defence by playing in the first team more
