I would have Hurrell on the bench. Over 80 minutes his defence would be found out. Forwards need to do a job without giving penalties away. Key is how we score 20 points because anything less will not be enough against a very good Saints team. Let’s hope they are underdone and we get the rub of the green. Cannot wait!

Agree with a lot of the above - you under estimate Wigan's youth development - they now have three top coaches with extensive experience and a knowledge of how important youth development is.

Absolutely but their talent pool is extremely poor at the moment. Our 17s arent great and they still rattled 40 past Wigans. They have some young players in 1st team but they dont have much behind them. Were much stronger in junior development at the moment.

Financially too i believe we are stronger.

We are massively stronger - when you look at the state of them off the field we are in a different league to Wigan who seem to be spectacularly badly run in almost every aspect.

However the money in the background at Wigan is bigger (a lot bigger) even than Caddick or Coleman at Saints, if they decided to spend it on the RL club.

Coleman is actually the richest man in SL and by a long margin. He just doesnt like the limelight and is happy for McManus to be the man

Coleman's wealth is rather opaque but it's probably he is richer than Caddick. Not likely to be in Mike Danson's league though (although Danson only has a minority stake at the moment).
