Given the circumstances would you pick him or select Tommy and Smith instead?nathan_rugby wrote: ↑Wed Mar 17, 2021 7:12 amI think Lam should only pick him if he thinks he’s ready.Charriots Offiah wrote: ↑Wed Mar 17, 2021 12:48 amSo I take it that you will not be happy if he is selected against Leigh?nathan_rugby wrote: ↑Tue Mar 16, 2021 7:27 am
He’s missed a load pre season.
Whilst he has been training in Aus, it won’t be the same and he hasn’t been in and around the team getting used to the ball plays and skills again.
If it was as easy as just being fit, why bother with pre season? Why bother with training at all?
Hastings having extended leave is perfectly acceptable given the conditions, what I do find strange though is he was going to be back before the training ground got closed, it got closed, but then only returned 3-4 weeks after it re opened. Why?
Why wasn’t he landing in the UK mid Feb and ready to go when it re opened?
He hasn’t played rugby for months and been in team training for months. Just because he’s “a fit lad” and a good half does not mean he will be ready to play against Leigh with less than two weeks of actual pre season training.
Ide start him with smith on the bench....... leigh will try mix it up early so play him from start witha big pack........hopefully field will be fit for fullback and zak to centre....... otherwise ide start bateman centre as i just think hes a better option than willie......... if field is out it might mean both of them in centres....... personally ide like bibby back at centre and whichever kid on the wing........ one thing for sure is it will be a very interesting team selection off lammyCharriots Offiah wrote: ↑Wed Mar 17, 2021 12:20 pmGiven the circumstances would you pick him or select Tommy and Smith instead?nathan_rugby wrote: ↑Wed Mar 17, 2021 7:12 amI think Lam should only pick him if he thinks he’s ready.Charriots Offiah wrote: ↑Wed Mar 17, 2021 12:48 am

What is the problem with Hastings and French not being at preseason? Play the ball, pass to first receiver, barge up, get tackled, play the ball, same again and again, for 80 minutes. Last season the only time there was any variation was when Hastings,French, or Hardacker did something special. Lamb seems incapable of coaching any sort of game plan. Leeds in the semifinal, St Helens in the Premiership final, and now Salford ( even though only a friendly) charged up at the play the ball and that was enough to beat us. Lam can’t even get Bibby to wear longer studs to stop him falling over. Because of the exceptional effort of the players ( not having a go at them ) no doubt we will be there or there abouts come play off time.Wigan Watcher wrote: ↑Wed Mar 17, 2021 2:11 pm How can you not have your main play maker not at pre-season training???

You both know the reasons why they were given extended leave, it's been posted on here. What would you have done if you were in charge of the Wigan club?
He is involved in pre-season training.Wigan Watcher wrote: ↑Wed Mar 17, 2021 2:11 pm How can you not have your main play maker not at pre-season training???
