Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Re: Wigan squad for Hull FC
After seeing g that about Marshall then I think he may start with Eckersley.
Shorrocks to start at 6 then Hampshire to half back after 30 mins or so.

I watched the Reserves game yesterday, thought Eckersley was impressive.

Re: Wigan squad for Hull FC
Shorrocks deserves better than to be benched.
Given our rapidly deceasing number of props - Smithies to act as a new kind of mobile prop in an emergency? - Shorrocks to 13 - Powell to move into the forwards - Faz & KPP in the 2nd row and get O'Neill into hooker. (Cue outrage at playing a player in a different position from the one he's occupied since he was in the cradle but we need to have our best players on the pitch.) Thought Smithies was outstanding for England (I know but you can only play against what's in front of you) and although Smithies is beginning to look like the eventual replacement for SOL again, Shorrock's mobility and defence can't be overlooked.
If we are going to give Hampshire a run-out - Hull seems a good opportunity. Maybe start with Shorrocks for solidity as was posted earlier and then make the switches.

Re: Wigan squad for Hull FC
Shorrocks seems to have gone from the guy who doesn't have an obvious position, through being a player who was out on loan at Leigh, to the one person who can't be benched/dropped. I have huge respect for what Joe has done and is doing these last few weeks - his commitment to the cause has been outstanding and has helped us to some big wins. But professional sport is a tough environment and, apart from rotation/injury changes, you need to be the best in your position to command a regular starting spot. I'm not sure Joe is the best we have in any given position at the moment and we shouldn't be thinking in terms of shuffling a significant part of the team to accommodate one player. Loose forward seems to be the most likely 'best' position for Joe, but with Smithies developing nicely that's not an easy one as, for me, Smithies needs to be kept in that role.josie andrews wrote: ↑Tue May 02, 2023 5:09 pmGood post SSSouthern Softy wrote: ↑Tue May 02, 2023 3:24 pm Shorrocks deserves better than to be benched.

Don't misinterpret this. I like Joe as a player and he adds immense value to the squad but like others in the past until he can nail down one position where he is the best available, he may have to settle for 'cameo' roles and remain versatile.

Re: Wigan squad for Hull FC
Smithies was outstanding v France and put in two excellent passes, good to see KPP running straighter and looking dangerous, as did King - small changes to their games from Peet to great effect.Southern Softy wrote: ↑Tue May 02, 2023 3:24 pm Shorrocks deserves better than to be benched.

Looking forward to the Hull game, fascinated in what the team will be.
