bah, looks like Roberts will be out for 2 more weeks

[TRICKY DICKY]

Team picks itself for me.

Marsh and prescott to miss out.

Feka for Prescott
Gleeson for Marsh

although he did well most huddersfield tries were on Marsh's side... not blaming him but need to tighten up that side of the pitch and possibly go 6 clear by saturday night.

Friday:
saints v hull kr

saturday:
cru cru crusaders v wigan
catalans v salford

sunday:
Bradford v Leeds
Castleford v Hull
Wakefield v Harlequins
Warrington v Huddersfield

every chance of hull kr doing the double.

Marsh IMO is a fullback. He played there all his junior RL career.

I've only seen the highlights as I couldnt get to the game, but to me each of those tries ends up with Marsh attempting to tackle the scorer into touch.

So to my mind we should be asking where was his winger on each of those occasions? Even got me wondering were we playing Goulding at centre and Marsh on the wing?

I think its quite harsh to switch him for Gleeson, when the lad was just trying to cover tackles for a missing winger. I think he's stepped up well, and that he remains in the 19 this week on Gleeson's return demonstrates Maguire's faith in him.

Agree quite obvious that Huddersfield targetted Marsh / Goulding rather than Carmont / Pryce - odds always in their favour down that side just on size & experience alone

I think it's fair for them to put Gleeson back in, as overall his contribution has been fine this year. His defensive organisation is generally superb. Stef has had more games than he might have expected this year and hasn't looked out of his depth, so it has worked out well all round.

[cpwigan]

Feka, Farrell, Gleeson all playing.

wasn't singling out Marsh just saying from the radio commentary the highlights backed it up. Goulding went walkies a few ties, i think the first half i saw marsh dive across but goulding was nowhere in sight. Tough game for the lad but experience and a win.

it's all good.

[cpwigan]

I only 1 try were Marsh was caught out. It is a try where his inside man is pointing and telling him to drift faster across but he doesn't leaving that side exposed. Goulding, possibly at fault for 1 where he seemed to jump up/in and was caught out.

I have to say several of the tries on that side were very dubious with questions re grounding / player in touch.
