Re: Wigan squad for Magic Weekend

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

Re: Wigan squad for Magic Weekend
The Walters/Forber bit puzzles me, unless Forber's fitness is in doubt.
Our first consideration should be the spine. If Farrimond starts and is "run over" in defence, he needs to be pulled. There's an option of Leeming in the halves. If we don't have Forber in the 17, who goes to 9? Farrell, with Walters in the second row?
What I'm saying is we must have Jai, Keighran, Farrimond, Leeming and Forber in the 17, to cover 1,6,7 and 9. In my opinion.

I'd agree with that.

Re: Wigan squad for Magic Weekend
Should be an interesting game today. Both teams depleted. My side would be
Field
Miski
Eckersley
Wardle
Marshall
Keighran
Farrimond
Dupree
Leeming
Thompson
Nsemba
Farrell
Ellis
Forber Havard Mago Walters
Seen a few saying put Field in the halves and play Eckersley at fullback. My problem with this is how out of position Eckersley is in defence at fullback. Not his fault of course, as I don't think he's played there much, but it was a real problem against Wire. Fields defence is outstanding but I wouldn't like to see him get targeted by the Saints forwards. I think having Forber could be a real asset for us allowing Leeming to come off rather than play the 80.

Not looking too bad so far, but in the words of Han Solo, I've got a bad feeling about this
