From what i have now heard, there was some truth in the rumour. But now quite sure Sam will play tonight.

Been told Sam is definitely out tonight, and if we get through it’s on the cards he won’t play in the final. For once I hope it’s wrong and I’ve had my back peed on. Come on Wigan!

He "apparently" has a knee injury.

I dont think thats right but we'll have to wait and see. Not long to wait now though

He came off against Catalan with a slight knock to the knee, if I remember.

Hare & hounds is usually spot on with Wigan info.

Both sides missing a key attacking player evens it up abit but Wigan still huge favs.

You’re right, but now I’ve heard it’s a four week job. Sometimes someone at the club can put out a so called leak to wrong foot the opposition, it’s been done loads of times. Let’s just hope it one of them.

I work at the hospital where the wigan, saints and wire players go and i can confirm i did see tomkins come in for an mri scan he didnt seem pleased when they left, so im guessing the 2-4 weeks out is near correct.

Wigan have more than 1 standout player the team is full of them so even without sam i would expect them to make the final.

Richards to FB, Thornley on the wing then? Not too disappointed with that if it happens

Not selected in the 19 is he? I'd expect to see Jack Murphy at FB, it'd be a big risk mind

Ah but if a player is only found to be injured once the 19 is selected a player can be swapped for that player.
