He's more likely to go looking for work than Higginson IMO and will get involved at dummy half and make decent meters.
Plus, he finished the last home game in alright fashion, so he should take confidence from that.
There's a very capable 17 in that squad, which is scary to think there's still 7 front line players not available. Bar far and away the best squad in the league. Been saying it all season (and thinking it may never happen now) but I can't wait to see our 17 with only 1 or 2 out.

Who is Higginbottom?

Only problem Adam is I think Tierney will be targetted last tackle and his 1 on 1 defence.

I watched Joe Burgess for the Bunnies last night. Didn't hardly get a pass all night, virtually his only involvement was to defend, defend, defend (with varying degrees of success).
I'll bet he wishes he was still at Wigan!

How much they target him remains to be seen, their strength is their left side so tend to go that way.

I'd be more worried for Jack Owen than Lewis Tierney CP.
Owen facing Tierney is edged by Tierney for me.
Swift facing Tierney is towards Swift.
Owen facing Manfredi is a total mismatch.
If our centres keep to their task I'm not overly concerned.
Tierney can catch a high ball, not seen young Higgy under the high ball though to suggest he's a stronger option.
