Bugger!!

Full-back - Ashton
Left-wing - Richards
Left centre - Goulding
Right centre - Vaealiki
Right wing - Dallas
Stand off - Orr
Scrum Half - Higham (gotta be better than Moran?!?)
Prop - Seu Seu
Hooker - Godwin
Prop - Paleaaesina
Second row - Fletcher
Secont row - James
Loose Forward - O'Loughlin

Sub - Hill

I'd rest Hargreaves, as he needs a break. Moran and Brown missing, enough said. McAvoy to cover the backs, and Tickle to move to prop.

Dallas
Orr
Higham
Logan
Godwin
Paleaasina

I don't beleive Calderwood is any loss. I would rather Dallas and Richards on the wings.
I think we'll see McAvoy in the team.
Vaealiki is a tough one... I found myself thinking with the play that Wigan put togther in the second half against cas. One of the few times they threw the ball out with pace and McAvoy knocked on going for the line that Vaealiki would have scored.

Given that McAvoy spent most of his playing career on the right, I'd have him at right centre with DV at left centre. Goulding drops out, but he didn't have the best game last week and maybe a week off will do him good.

would rather see Mcavoy in centres instead of Goulding, he put in a solid defence last week with richards, agree with Higham for Moron that could be an interesting switch. :eusa10:

Agree Goulding maybe needs a rest and DV has a lot to prove. Thing is he ias a quality player it time for him to show it.

Logan or Paleaaesina should start but not both - we need to keep momentum by making sure at least one of our two best go-forward sprops is on any any one time. Let;s not fiorget we'll be up against Korky and Griffin - two monsters at prop.

Other than that, I think Hargreaves definitely needs a rest (no criticism that, just an observation), and a week off won't hurt Goulding. Then again, after giving Vaealiki a season to settle in he has continued to disappoint, and it will take a minor miracle now to suddenly see him being an effective centre.

The Wigan 20 is:-

Ashton, Brown, Dallas, Fletcher, Godwin, Goulding, Hargreaves, Higham, Hill, James, Logan, Moran, McAvoy, O'Loughlin, Orr, Paleaaesina, Richards, Seuseu, Tickle , Vaealiki.

This squad has failed time and time again and will fail again so why keep with it?
