Sorry no ‘surprise’

No Bevan, but at least look on the brightside, there's no Hampshire either

Sorry no ‘surprise’

Booooooooo.We should still smash um with plenty of options to swap and change

[Wiganer Ted]

Is Hampshire injured?

[Firestarter]

Is Hampshire injured?

Yea hurt his arm at leeds

[josie andrews]

Is Hampshire injured?

Yes he injured his forearm I think it was in the first half at Leeds

[Wiganer Ted]

I knew he was injured at Leeds, just wondering if it was that was the reason he is omitted perhaps or dropped.

[Exiled Wiganer]

I would be tempted to go with…
Eckersley - Miski - Keighran - Wardle - Marshall - Field - Farrimond
Thompson - Leeming - Havard - Nsemba - Faz - Ellis
Dupree - Forber - Walters - Mago
With Leeming possible playing 7 while Forber was on.
I think we have the resources to adapt and win, but I think it will be an ugly one.
