Says on WEP website that he has failed his fitness test today and has been replaced in the 19 man squad by Logan Tomkins. Devastating loss for us especially with an already understrength pack. Think its such a big loss it could hand the victory to Saints I'm afraid. Likely starting pack of Prescott Mickey Mac Lima Tuson Hock Hansen then on bench Dudson, Hughes, Spencer and Logan Tomkins/Mellor

Not good news at all. He is a massive loss. It really isn't looking good is it? Amazing how things can turn around in the space of a few weeks

Is Spencer fit? I thought he was another who was struggling. Heard he had a sternum injury. No matter what team we have out tomorrow we will go for it. Time to get behind the lads who pull on the shirt tomorrow.

If we get through the easter period hopefully alot of the lads can rest up for the Hull game and sit out the Crusaders game.

Saints by 18+

That's a full pack missing.
Fielden, Lauaki, Mossop,
Farrell, Flower
O'Loughlin

I fear the worst now, I really do.

Sadly, although people may say we'll give it our best shot, I don't think we can match them with the players missing. To have 3 props missing and 2 back rowers, one of which is influential to the side, is too much IMO. I don't think the likes of Tuson and Hughes have enough in them to replace those established players. I pray to god I'm wrong. I hate being pessimistic but you gotta face the facts.

Its very worrying, I said last week I feared this game.

According to Saddo on the Saints site Wane has lied all week about injuries, looks like "the ape" wasn't lying doesnt it.

An absolutely huge loss if true.

I am surprised though, listening to the Saints fans I tought we were just making up all these injuries

Saddo can only aspire to be an ape....

It'll be another famous victory for Wigan when we win tomorrow.

It's a huge loss Lockers not being there, and even though we're beginning to drop like fly's my confidence hasn't been dented, well not much anyway. Have faith! Remember back to 2003.

It will be a very very sweet win if we pull this off, but I cant see it, hope im wrong but im going to say saints by 18

May stick a cheeky fiver on Wigan by 6-10 cos odds have gone to 7-1

Wellens Laffranchi and Wheeler are big losses for Saints and would all start, I wouldn't count Wigan out on the basis of losing a few players. If Tomkins was out maybe I would see the cause for concern.
