It will be very difficult. Would you rather play an experienced first teamer out of position, or risk it with an academy player in the correct position? For me it is the latter, so I would go with:
Wellens, Swift, Turner, Jones, Makinson, Hohaia, Charnock, LMS, Howarth, Laffranchi, Puletua, Soliola, Jones.
Walmsley, Greenwood, Percival, Clough

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

I wish I could remember which side Dixon plays on because whichever side he is on is the side we need a particularly good defence.

Because whichever side of the field he plays on is the side Saints need to attack. |

Personally I'd play Percy and Turner down the right with Turner on the wing. That combo would rip Dixon a new one and would score a few points. It also has the pace to handle him in defence.

I was going to suggest Dixon was lucky that Meli was out, as he'd give him a torrid time. Whilst he's obviously got some goods in attack, he's reportadly error prone and not great when faced with a physical winger - See Dixon vs Alex Brown. |

Sculthorpe at 6?
"I can honestly say I feel fitter now than I've ever done," he says. "I train six times a week at a gym in Wigan. Then there's the boxing, the cycling and other stuff too.
"If anything, it's actually a higher intensity than when I was playing and I've been at it since the day I retired."
So what about a comeback at the age of 35?
"I know I could do it. No problem."

Gym 6 times a week + boxing and cycling!? Doesn't he have a job?
