So, they have 5 out and we have 4? I see.
For some reason, we have made a meal of these second games in recent years. As we don't have the Cup to focus on, we have no real excuses for not performing. Our best is better than their best without Walsh, but you just never can tell. Really looking forward to it.

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.

| Quote: Albion "Looking forward to this one. Should be a good'un.
I'm a bit more confident than some other saints fans but that's only because our forwards (especially the front line) are in great form and are making good meters. I think if we can restrict your yardage out wide (that's were the majority of your meters are made up) then I'll be confident that we will win.
The only doubt is our creative issues. Walsh missing is a big blow and we have looked a bit slow and sluggish shifting the ball in opponents 20m. Missing our first choice second rowers has also affected our attacking shape. That's why some of us are making something of our injuries. We become a bit one dimensional without Vea and Greenwood imo'"
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! |
