If we can start well and dig in til half time we've got a chance. Can't afford to get blown away first 20 like Leeds and Wire did. Lima and Prescott have to start for this reason.

I agree, this is what I've gone for, for the same reasons.

This will take a huge effort from our backs now and will need top games from Finch, Sam and Tommy

Our kicking game has to be spot on we need repeat sets and to turn the saints back 3 around and restrict where they have the ball

This is an opportunity for someone else to make a big statement.

Let Finch guide us around the park. We're not the only team with injuries and we can't let it get us down. I'm still up for tomorrow!

Come on Wigan!

Don't lose heart guys, things like this go out the window in derby matches.
We've beaten you with a full team and lost to you when you've had injuries - tomorrow's going to be a cracker.

Losing Lockers is massive, Hock needs to lead from the front tomorrow.

Where's Andy Coley when you need him haha?!

This isn't going to be a fun day.

When did Lauaki play hooker!?

Massive game needed from Tuson if he steps in, im a fan of Tuson's and think he's vastly underrated. His work ethic and the angles he runs are very similar to Lockers, if we are to do this we need his greatest game in a Wigan shirt. Hock needs to keep his head and lead the pack like he has never done before.

He's always given a good account against us, from what I remember (Tuson).

I refuse to rule us out on the basis of what happened in 03 alone. This Saints side isn't a patch on that one and we're probably a better team then at that point.

Maguire built a culture of one mans injury being another mans opportunity and that's what tomorrow will throw up and what Wane must keep going. The pressure has certainly been lifted via these injuries as the majority now only hold a faint hope and will be happy as long as the players give it everything.

No way are we out of this game. It's disrespectful to the lads that will go out there to say we are.
