Reading the forum, it looks like we will be without Paga for four matches. The judiciary are trying their hardest to keep us down with all of the suspensions coming our way.

It would be interesting to see how many players from Dewsbury, Doncaster and Hunslet have been suspended!

Now is the time for Wigan to loan us a quality scrum half. I believe Logan has gone to Featherstone for the rest of the season - he would have fitted in really well.

If it helps we’ve had 3 players suspended,can’t speak for Doncaster or Hunslet though. Don’t let paranoia take over your life.

Far cry from the bad old days. Remember David bishop elbowing Charlie Mac, breaking his jaw and getting off with, or the ime Mal Graham had his ear bitten off.

Paga will be a real miss. He's been outstanding this season.

I think we need to bring a quality loan half back in, hopefully experienced half back I don’t want to see any more young Wigan players in key positions on dual reg. 

Kibula in for the banned baker and Slater back in for Forber. Other than that I’d keep it the same we haven’t been far off.

Hasn't Kibula's month loan expired now?

You may be correct, I thought he was serving a match ban against Dewsbury ? 
 

will Littler still be in charge come Sunday or will he be at Widnes ?

George Ford would be decent cover for a few gams

Even if he did it for free, we still couldn't afford the insurance needed.

John Kear as nothing on this weekend. 

[chiefgeneral]

Maybe McNally to halves and Morgan to fullback. Possibly Brierley or Rawsthorne at FB
