4. Josh Jones, 13. Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook, 15. Mark Flanagan, 19. Greg Richards, 22. Matty Dawson, 25. Andre Savelio, 26. Lewis Charnock, 28. Jack Ashworth 30. Matty Fleming, 34. Shannon McDonnell.

These are the nine in the 19 that would be at risk. the most obvious six to go would be
15. Mark Flanagan, (19. Greg Richards or 25. Andre Savelio), 26. Lewis Charnock, 22. Matty Dawson, 28. Jack Ashworth 30. Matty Fleming,

and bring in
Vea, Greenwood, Thompson, Makinson, Walsh, Lomax

the 17 would then be picked on who we were playing and how we wanted to play. That makes the 19 stronger - but happy to go with what we have.

Injuries are part and parcel of RL that's why clubs have 25+ in their squads. The real question should be, could any of those injuries have been avoided/timescales shortened with better management or techniques. I suspect that if this was a GF then a few more players would be available. This is Wigan v Saints and 99% of the time we get an excellent contest no matter which personnel turn out. I expect tonight's game to be no different.

Rumour has it Greenwood is on the bench for you lot tonight and possibly Walsh.

I think if it's a straight up forward battle I think saints have the edge just with sheer size, but if it's an expansive game I think we have the edge IMO our backs are the better set, should be a close game which could go either way

Especially with Makinson out.

Anyway, safely arrived at Wigan hotel, a marked contrast to the last Saints game when I arrived bloody and battered...

So looking forward to this!
