Yeah he was. I'm pretty happy for the squad we have. Robertson is a big loss for Saints, I think he is the jewel in their crown.

Interesting to Wellen's selection choice with Whitby, Lomax, Sailor and Welsby.   Whitby seems to offer far more attack and kicking game than Lomax but dropping Lomax in this game will be a big decision...


I would probably have Welsby FB, Whitby and Lomax halves, and push Sailor to the wing so they keep some speed in the back line and have a kicking game and experience in the halves.

Good friday upon us once again. It really is a special day in the rugby league calander, full house too which is briliant.


Expecting a big performance from Wigan. No doubt, they'll be full of confidence after last week and i think us as fans should feel confident.


Jury is certainly still out on Saints and especially on Sailor. Looks more like a fullback than a half so it'll be interesting to see who Wellens goes with. I can't see him leaving Lomax out for the derby but it would be interesting to see how Whitby goes in a big game.

Sailor is a car crash waiting to happen under the high ball. If he plays FB or wing Harry Smith will kick him to death

With Harvard and Thompson missing saints will have the advantage up the middle but at times they?ve looked clueless in attack. I do also question with Walmsleys age is he still able to provide the minutes and intensity that they need.


 We should have them out wide for pace and with marshy and Miski we should be able to tire their middles out  hopefully evening it up 


I would love to see nsemba one on one with sailor at full back.


Anything can happen in a derby but really hope we put a score on these men. Nothing less than humiliating them should be accepted. Just use the GF game from last year as motivation 

This Saints pack is nowhere near as good as it was 3 to 4 years ago. I don?t sign up to the fact that it is better than Wigan?s pack, even without Thompson and Havard. If we show the same desire as last week we will take the spoils.

No it isn?t better however on paper they do look better in the prop department. Obviously the game is not played on paper. 


KR pack is miles better than saints and we still managed them without havard and Thompson. If a they get on a roll however with those props it might be hard to wrestle the control back that?s the issue I see us having. It happened against KR who were in control for large parts of that game
