Wigan will slap 40+ on Leeds, the only chance Leeds have is the weather.

Personally I'm expecting a Wigan win by 12. Even with injuries I've seen nothing to suggest Leeds have what it takes to stop a fired up Tomkins inspired Wigan side. If by some form of coincidence Tomkins picks up a knock and doesnt play then I would be having a rethink ...

According to that headline you are already there.

That was the point I was making.

To be fair, it is their final...

Yeah I get that, but the part about pinning it up on a wall to motivate your players is nonsense. A typo in the headline of an article which is mainly about a match not relevant to the coming one should be pinned on a wall for your players to look at? Do you honestly beleive that would make a difference to the Semi final in terms of firing your players up more than they already would be?

You have seen the forecast for next week I take it ???

story from delaney on sky sports stating that Leeds know what to expect from wigan. I'm sure we heard all of these stories before our lads tore them to bits with half a pack missing at headingley.

I'd never read into players pre-match interviews to be honest.

Losing Leuluai has clearly impacted upon our structures and our quality of performance over the last few games.

But if we can't adapt to losing one of our pivot players, then maybe we're not as good as we think we are.

Saints lost their first choice pairing last year and got to the Grand Final.

With the returning players we should have, there will be no excuses. I'd have brought Mellor back straight away though and given him a go in the games leading up. Too late now, O'Loughlin it will be. Wane will not move Tomkins from fullback.

You guys by 20+
