Peoples don't forget the Pie Dome pitch is shocking and the weather is going to be bad so a forward battle we must make it?

We should be doing rain dances and hoping someone accidentally drives a tractor over the pitch thursday night.

Obviously the weathers been shocking in the build up but I think it should be dry come Friday 3pm. Probably favours wigoon a bit but can't see it being a huge factor

If Hampshire is at Full Back we should put bombs on him all day long, he's not a Full Back at all.

If he's at 6 however, our edge defenders need to be on their game.

Assuming they are all fit.

20. Paul Wellens,
2. Tommy Makinson,
3. Jordan Turner,
4. Josh Jones,
5. Adam Swift,
16. Lance Hohaia,
12. Jon Wilkin,
8. Mose Masoe,
9. James Roby,
10. Kyle Amor,
13. Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook,
21. Joe Greenwood,
15. Mark Flanagan,

14. Alex Walmsley,
18. Luke Thompson,
19. Greg Richards,
25. Andre Savelio,

As they used to say in McDonald's, Super Size me.

Team doesn't look that bad at all with Wellens, Roby and Greenwood in, if they don't make it we are really going to struggle.

Didnt he play fullback in the friendly at Langtree this year ?


If so, Id 100% bomb him all day long.

It looks like someone has!

Latics exit from the premiership means we'll now play on a shocking pitch at the start of every year. They won't relay it like they did in the Premiership days as it costs a few hundred grand.

Agree with the 17 but think he'll start with walmsley and mose on bench bring him on and scatter people

I'd start with Mose, the last few times we have brought him on he's not been able to impose himself on the first run out, but has on the second.
I think part of that is you can't manage the game so that when he comes we have the ball.

Walmsley is also no stranger at scattering people and to be honest can bring just as much impact.

Like the last season and half ....

I'm made up Wellens is playing another year, despite a few slagging him off on here. With an injury crisis like the one we have now to key players, with Wellens on the teamsheet, you just know we've still got chance of doing a job on the pies today.

Come on you Saints!!!!

Robes had pain killing injection today for a separate injury than the head knock.

Forwards look ok. Backs look terribly outclassed compared to the Pies. Forwards have to get fully on top of their opposites, and prevent Wigan getting the ball out wide. Can't see us getting more than two or three tries maximum with no strike players at all. So we need an incredible defensive effort to restrict Wigan to fewer.
