That isn't right, that isn't the team what started.

What was it then?

Ashton
Calderwood
Bailey
DV
Richards
Lockers
Leuluai
Fielden
Higham
Feca
Hock
Fletch
Tompkins

That's how we started.

Thanks jimmy.

So no place for Withers inthe centres then? Perhaps Noble likes DV as a starting centre, but Mo is trying to offload for salary cap reasons, hence the 14. Or is that way too much to read into a pre-season friendly starting line-up ?

Withers came on to replace Ashton at FB.

Hansen prescott o'carrol millard goulding hill all came on sure about this mike

Why did Ashton go off? No injuries please!!!!!!!!

In fairness, from the reports I have read on the RL Fans site, Ashton didn't have the best of games, both defensively and positionally.

I suppose by being taken off, Ashton will have learnt his lesson. Perform, or you're subbed.

His rating on the RL fans site seems to vary, from 4 to 6. From the sounds of it, he deserves 4, more than 5 or 6.

Didnt manage to get to the game just wondering who was wigans M.O.M today

He was not great nothing in attack poor positionally off the kicks . Not his conditions better on a dry ground, may get slated for this but we looked better when withers came on, he organizes the defense from behind the line better,think ashton and him may swap positions this year quite a lot.

Simply because withers is more experinced but id much rather see ashton playin most games this year. How did Bailey go?

Did one good tackle thats about it, his first game no ball may be better with dry weather and Barrett inside him

Apparently, according to the RL Fans site, Fielden has twisted a knee, and that is why HE was quiet today.

Any reason why we could sugguest that Ashton was quiet. He's got a bit of this current bug that is qoing round maybe??? Just a thought.
