No Tuivasa-Sheck (still injured). That is worth 6-10 points for Wigan.

Also, the Roosters have not had a serious game together yet this year, because most of the team played a trial match when the scrum half and hooker were playing in the Auckland Nines. I suspect the Roosters will be a bit rusty in the first half, and then pull away in the second half, before Sonny Bill Williams is taken off for preservation.

Couldn't give a shiny s***e about McDermott's definition of "true RL supporters". I'm a Roosters fan and have been since 2003 so I will be supporting them.

I'm as happy as anyone to see Wigan get a kicking (thank you Huddersfield!) but I'd back anyone versus the Aussies. Especially another British team.
I'll be a Wigan fan for 80 mins.

For the 2nd time in 5 months I find myself shouting for Wigan.
Can anyone recommend a good therapist because this is far from normal behaviour.

As my team got a dam good thrashing twice last year by the pies I will be hoping they win, then at least I can use the best team in the world beat us excuse.
hope it is a close game & I give some credit to the Roosters as they were at least happy to have the game at home as opposed to some who thought it was to much of a gamble to play it in Australia as no one would watch outside the regular season.

I'm Leeds but will be on Wigan's side. As a 'neutral' though this year I can't say I'm anywhere as interested in/looking forward to the game as a whole compared to Wigan's last contest vs St George. The match taking place over in Australia has made it less of an attraction for me.

After suffering 3 months of gloating and pee taking off the Aussies during the recent Ashes series, who really wants some more?

Well me actually. As a Saints fan there's no way could I cheer for our friends from Greater Manchester. Ever. It goes against my DNA.

However, if they do repeat their 1994 win Down Under, I will, begrudgingly, congratulate them.

Wigan r gonna get annihilated thru the middle. Go S Moa and Hargreaves!

Hopefully

C'mon Roosters smash the cr'p out of the goons, thinking 14 point margin if I'm being honest.

Rugby League needs a competitive game.

Well either Wigan play out of their skins or the Roosters are directed to take the foot of the gas.
On Paper how many Wigan players would make the Roosters squad?

A few I think. Charnley, Taylor, McCollurm, Bateman and O'loughlin would be names that sprang to mind although I haven't seen a massive amount of them recently.

Fingers crossed Wigan put up a good show and possibly win it for English Rugby League

Some of those players would struggle to get an NRL contract never mind with the Premiers.
Micky Mac do you really think he is any good against quality opposition.
Charnley.... Roger Tuavasa Shek..... Ill take Roger.

We shall see, I hope O'Loughlin gets on the field he has a habit of missing big games like these, he is catching up with Keiron Cunningham for the nickname of "sick note" or no show.
19 Tests in 10 years.
