 i.e. Does the 19 man squad have to be named 48 hours before kick off?

Bailey Hansen and Lockers in the back row for me and they will get through tons of defensive work.
 
 Id be looking at a team of
 
 PHELPS
 ROBERTS
 GLEESON
 CARMONT
 RICHARDS
 SAM TOMKINS
 LEULUAI
 COLEY
 RIDDELL
 PRESCOTT
 HANSEN
 BAILEY
 O'LOUGHLIN
 
 FEKA
 FIELDEN
 MOSSOP
 FLANAGAN
 
 18TH MAN JOEL TOMKINS

That can't be right.      I thought the 18th man was the fans.    |

Well I hope J Tomkins has paid for his ticket or better still has got one.  I thought all the Wire fans had bought the tickets according to them.    |

 I can guarantee you that if Joel doesn't play and Sam has a poor game there will be some on here blaming Noble for dropping Joel and it being the reason for Sams poor form.

 but what if joel doesn't make it long term for wigan? do they only play as a package? and does the same apply to tomkins III who is just coming through? It really shouldnt affect him but as you say you never know. |
