What’s the risk? It’s just a regular season game with no consequences if we lose.

I’d love to win but not like a playoff game or cup semi final.

Throw the kid in, look after him in defence and hope he steps up.

We’ll be needed this half back combo for the next 6 weeks or so and I’d feel more comfortable with 2 half backs in the halves ideally.

The risk is coming into a depleted team in a derby game against the best team in the league who will target him relentlessly and he has an absolute shocker. It could destroy his confidence in such a exposed game.

I agree he should be blooded in but thats what an away game at wakefield or Cas could do. Give the poor lad a chance to get a bit of momentum. Wire would be a better game to take risks

Those on here know im no fan of Powell but i think looking at what we have available at the moment him in the halves gives us the best chance of getting a result at Saints

Why in your opinion is Warrington the better game to take risks? Genuinely interested as I’d say they are top for good reason, massive improvement in them this year.

I agree I think wire are the form team in the league this year I tipped them to be in the gf a few rounds back

The reason I think wire would be a better game is it has less meaning and in a way we are probably expecting to lose to them at the moment

I think the problem with the saints game on Good Friday there are so many connotations to it - it’s such a big event for the wigan team I mean we have a thread here of memorable Good Friday games - you don’t have a thread of memorable mid season wire games

I just think the exposure is a little less heated and it’s an extra time to try and get some bodies back maybe
