Wigan Warriors duo banned for Challenge Cup Final after landing charges

[Hattster]

From a motivational perspective these bans could really benefit us on Saturday. Dupree, although a loss can easily be covered and won't hinder us much.
It's the Keighran one that will hurt us the most and not only from a goal kicking perspective. Not sure about Nsemba has he played centre before? But if he does play there and it works out then....what a centre we will have uncovered

[Charriots Offiah]

Zac Eckersley is the man.

Zac Eckersley is the man.

Have to agree.

No way I'd play Nsemba at centre, Eckersley all day for me. The bans are great motivation and a reason to win, not that we should need any.

Zac Eckersley is the man.

I tend to agree, Eckersely is the safer option

Zac Eckersley is the man.

Have to agree he will not let anyone down

[Firestarter]

Yep eckersley for me

Eckersley for me as well, both players will be disappointed to miss the final but that’s why you have to make sure you don’t do anything daft. Burgess looked like the cat that got the cream after the game on Saturday. If he thinks he’s got it in the bag already he’s sadly mistaken the absolute bottle jobs. French and field need to step up, Kieran will be a miss for his kicking but I think we still beat them.

We are enormously better with Field and Wardle in the side; two of the best players in SL. Agree Eckersley will be fine, he's been playing centre for years, he knows what he's doing. And Dupree won't be missed that much, we have plenty of other options.

Zac has all the ingredients to be a first class centre size, skill, power, pace and aggression. The only thing he lacks is experience and there is no better way of getting it. He will be a handful for King on Saturday if he is selected. I am disappointed by Dupree’s ban it is a pity that the MRP don’t use the microscope on other clubs. Tyler is a workhorse and whilst we have good replacements in the wings they are not quite at his level in my view. Nevertheless, like any other game this trophy will we won by the team that performs well collectively and I am confident if we produce our best we will win.
