I would expect Meli to have been given instructions to help out the forwards with taking the ball up, especially when Dixon, Ashurst and Emmit are on. I remember him supporting Graham manfully in a game at bradford a couple of years ago when we had some bad injuries.

The youngsters will be fine in defence, but might struggle with go forward and getting quick play-the-balls. Meli is excellent is these departments.

Come on then everyone get doing the sun-dance. It's just like the rain - dance but the opposite way round. I think we should contact Syd on his hols to do one for us. I'm sure there will be plenty of sun were he is.

I didn't say it wasn't.

All i'm saying is that with that squad we are capable of beating Wigan, even with the injuries we have.

Capable? You're still expected to win.

if Wigan don't concede a lot of penalties then I think that they will win.

Watching all the tries from the Quins v Saints game on Sky anytime, it was no noticeable that seven out of the eight tries Saints scored were from within 10 metres from the line, the only exception being Deans try.

The form table says otherwise.

Tempory

Translation:

If Wigan don't get done for trying to slow the game down to their standard, then they will win.

Stalker alert.


Which hairdresser is it this time.

Heard a horrible whisper that our pack will be at least one more short and another playing through illness.
Ah well,im setting off now anyway,come on the Saints!!!!!!!!!

Fooked. Wigan are thoroughly rubbish but with those players out today we won't score in a month. They'll win it just by hanging in there like Wakefield did.

If Keiron's out for next week it's a write off.

you make the good times even better
