| Your saying wind up Mic Mac, hit him hard and high!
We had four games between us last year and only one ended with 13 men on the field at 80 mins.
Shenton got binned at your place, God knows who got sent off at Etihad and Mic Mac was sent off at the DW.
I prefer a game where its 13 a side for 80 mins.
Most of us want a full on game, not 13 v12, some of those can be entertaining others awful like last years Etihad after the sendings off, 12 v 11 no thanks!

I don't care if its 12 vs 8 as long as saints win.

McIlorum is on a short fuse , if we can make it so he's more interested in a fight than playing your 1 man down regardless of if he get sent off or not. He is weak link and we should be looking to expose him

If wigan are missing a few its a great opportunity to kick start the back end of the season and hopefully get a roll on. Wigan are beatable as they only have Plan A. Which to their credit works. However, I think with a good bit of research and watching the wire wigan game back we can see how to nullify there attack. Get in there face straight from the start. Put some hits in and set the tone. Micky Mac is a liability. You can see him getting frustrated all the time. Anyone can wind that kid up and he become a penalty machine. That is if he plays.'"
Piece of p*ss then, makes you wonder why Saints are where they are. We all like to be armchair coaches and if they only did what we advised they would do much better. TBH on this one I would wait till I saw the team sheets, and then give the game 20 minutes first. I just hope it’s a good game with plenty of incident so we all can have a good punch-up on these boards. It’s the spice of life. Good luck to Saints I hope you can kick start your season soon, but not too soon!

It wouldn't surprise me if he still plays, but Tomkins is a huge blow for Wigan if he doesn't. Take away his threat out the back and they struggle. Their whole attacking structure is based on his threat from Full-Back, and it's no coincidence that their Back-Rowers and 3/4 are receiving the plaudits they are. When he isn't there they are pretty average and stats back that up. They struggle without him.
Unfortunately we are without our two strike weapons which makes it pretty even in my opinion.

| Tomkins will play, but the fact that both he and Powell are in the squad would suggest that McIlorum wont.

Not that is a shame. Overrated mindless idiot who would have been good for a few penalties.

| McIlorum is a huge part of why your team has been so intimidated facing Wigan over the past couple of years. He's tough as nails and your boys know it.
Great boost for Saints if he's not playing (and I don't think he will).

Wigan might be having huge boost as well as we've got a player very doubtful tomorrow and with him, sia and Roby out we will be stuffed!

| Indeed. Wouldn't suprise me if that player ended up playing though to be honest.

Is it Lomax? Can you tell us what the injury is and how long he is likely to be out?

| It'd be typical of our luck this season that Lomax, Roby and Soliola would all be injured for the game we need them most.

| I think your task tomorrow night has been made harder with both Wire & The Giants winning. The Giants are now top & we are level with Wigan.
Wigan need the win even more now.
