Much harder. for some reason teams always seem to want to prove something after a coach goes. That and i dont rate Cunningham as a coach, so they must play better than they did under him.

Yes, this. Most Saints fans seem delighted at the news.

Sean Long interim coach! Out of the frying pan.......

i wonder if he put money on it?

Davies
Gelling

Shaun Wane has just conducted a press conference:


Micky Mac will play a game over Easter and hints it will be Friday.

Lockers, Burgess & Gelling should all return this week.

I'm not sure I'd put Burgess in the centre. I'd probably go with:

Escare
Marshall
Gelling
Forsyth
Burgess
Williams
Leuluai
Flower
Powell
FPN
Tomkins
Farrell
O'Loughln

Sutton
Tautai
Isa
McIllorum

Great news. Can't wait to see MM back. Wouldn't be surprised to see him spelling at 13 with SOL.

Fingers crossed they're all ok and they get through the game.

Huge boost to have them back.

Clubb definitely out? What's the issue with him/how long?

One thing that Gildart's injury has done is expose a real weakness within our squad in the centre position. It's been a real shame to have to go without a lot of star names this year like Tomkins, Bateman, Burgess etc but for all other positions there has been some quality cover that we can rely on. Not so at centre.

I would still play one of the second rowers there currently - Isa or Joel (if his knees can handle it) Forsyth isn't ready in my view and I don't feel good about moving Burgess from his best position. I would pick Davies ahead of Marshall on the right wing and Bretherton in place of Tony Clubb.
