Most Saints fans would probably answer the equivalent question with Tomkins and Richards. What about your biggest threat from Saints?

Two big Saints gamebreakers are Pryce and Eastmond imo but it doesnt look like likely that either will play. The other main one left is obviously Cunningham, if we let him get the ball in hand in good positions we could be in big trouble. Tony Puletua has looked really good on the couple of occassions i have seen him play as well.

I think they are all (apart from the first 2 kn0bs) good observations. Puletua is a real handful particularly close to the line as he's massive and hard to stop. Soliola may also be a surprise if he sorts his attack out but I suspect his role will be in the second row to bang a couple of the Wigan players about (and he can).
However I think the biggest threat to Wigan comes from the unknowns plus Roby. Smith's kicking game in the final quarter can unlock anyone's defence plus Lomax is somewhat of an unknown.

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

In the Hudds game they lost 22-6 with him on the field and 30-0 or something with him off.
Cunningham and Puletua for me. |

[size=50:2fqgwsdo]"The mid-to-late 1980s and early-to-mid-1990s is the most successful period for the club to date, however, even without this glorious trophy laden period, Wigan would still have won more trophies than any other professional British rugby league club due to their successes throughout the club's history."[/size:2fqgwsdo]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_52674.jpg |

James Graham for me, yes Cunningham is a game breaker, but if we manage to keep Graham as quiet as possible and win the forward battle, or at least not lose it if you know what I mean, then I think our backs are much better than theirs.

People say that about us with McIllorum and although its true to an extent, when your bench hooker is on is usually around the time when your bench forwards are on and as such your generally a weaker side.
When MM is on for us its normally with Prescott + Feka, and we tend to suffer more during these periods of the games. |

If I were a Wigan fan, which I happily am not, I'd be worried out Soliola in defence and Puletua's go forward. Those two players will be key for us on saturday.

Exactly. You cant really blame it on one player i.e Micky Mac or Roby. Playing with Fielden + Coley will be a damn sight easier imo than with Prescott + Feka in MM's case. |

Cunnigham and Roby. Possibly Puletua as well but when only close to our line.

Slight misunderstanding on your part, there. You probably read that Saints won the game 36-0 with Cunningham on and lost it 22-6 with Cunningham off. That doesn't mean that Roby wasn't on the field at the same time as Cunningham. In fact I think he was on for all the 2nd half, when we scored quite a few points.(not just six). |
