This will be a really tough test. Lets see who is fit after a massive effort v Saints last night. Our new wingers will be 100% fit and ready to go but Rowley might not change a winning team. Please please bring someone new to this match, the boys deserve a big crowd. You cannot buy the spirit that this team has at the moment.

Shorrocks played 6 for a while at Wigan in recent times so we have a pretty versatile spine, incl 13
The good thing with a small squad is that versatility is needed and so players train for a range of positions and skill levels and team working really improves
Borouh Atkin Sneyd Cust Shorrocks/Partington have been great….and Briefly starting to get into the mix a bit now; his link play is crucial…think a fast finishing winger will add yet another dimension and Hankinson probably could play 11, 12, 13 from the bench

Happy for Atkin to go 6, Morgan is miles off being Wigan ready, give him a shot in the CC if we get lower league opposition. As for Bourouh I'd spell him with Shorrocks.

Am I going daft or did we lose Cust to a HIA?

I'd give Morgan a run at either 6 or rotation 9. We signed him to be he third HB, so play him. Warrington have played Hayes at HB the passed few weeks instead of putting a square hole in a round peg. They did the same with the young lad on the wing in week one. Shorrocks is not a 6. He's a LF with an exceptional work rate. He needs to work on his vision a bit more and move the ball on instead of taking it in where there is the opportunity for an overlap. But, he's been great for us in that role. He's a 13, leave him there. Atkin had played most his career at HB so if we play him there, fine. Outside of that. Leave the square pegs in the square holes and give the young lad who is actually a half back a game at HB. If we're not going to play him when we are down a HB then we may as well send him out on a season loan without recall.

Atkin will play half makes the most sense Morgan on the bench he’s only play 1 minutes of sl and to play him the full game against Wigan isn’t fair but I’d like to see him get some time at 9 just to get minutes in him. Hopefully oli is back need the aggression. Interesting to see if Ryan or nofa plays

I watched the Wigan display at London last night. I have to say this London team are one of the poorest teams I’ve seen in Super League. 4-5 tries scored by Props/Hooker it was schoolboy rugby league. The Ref also made some strange calls, Wigan didn’t really play as expansive as the score line suggests, it’s clear London can’t tackle. I assume they will be back to full strength on Thursday. We need to defend well again in the middle as massive test for our small squad.
As for our wingers I think they will get their chance in the CC not against Wigan.

Yes Wigans Props walking through to score tries. My biggest wish on Thursday is for a bumper crowd, the pies will bring 1,500 and fill up their end. We need as many in as possible, its great in the wake of Saints that our fans have been vocal and spreading the word. The club need to go full tilt for Thursday. We as fans also need to encourage other to attend by sharing social media posts and getting new fans in.

In a great bit of scheduling Salford City are at home to Stockport County on Thursday night at 8pm, also live on Sky!
