Quite. He was "rested" this week though so expect him in the Wembley side.  |

Sorry but with our attack we need someone to piggy-back us up the field. Lauaki's the ideal candidate |

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

Going off the last few weeks performance.
Logan Tomkins, Dudson and Thornley should miss out.
That would mean Gelling at centre, Poell on the bench and either Lauaki or Crosby as the fourth prop.

Umm...Gelling's decision making must surely cost him a place. Thornley is like the rugby league equivalent of beige but playing Gelling in a final is going to give people a heart attack. He just doesn't know when to stick and when to twist. He's very unlikely to win us a game but definitely has the potential to cost us.
Neither Dudson nor Lauaki have earned a place. Both have been poor although in fairness to both of them they've had injury troubles which will have caused fitness issues I'm sure. Crosby should be 4th choice but worryingly he's fallen out of favour and seems unlikely to play. His form dipped a little but he's had a decent rest but the crucial difference his defence is better than both Lauaki and Dudson.
Powell has a similar problem to Crosby, he seems to have dropped out of favour and hasn't played hooker for a while and it seems unlikely that Wane will put him back in for the final having stuck with Tomkins. |

Gelling scores plenty tries and makes nearly 100m a game. Plus he's the better defender of the two. I'm not saying he will win us the game, but I'd rather have a player out there who makes a couple of handling errors, but also takes pressure off the forwards, scores when put in space, and is solid in defence, than one who is fairly anonymous in attack and suspect in defence. That sums it up for me, Gelling drops a couple but at least he gets involved and does a lot of positive things too. |

Gelling won us the game against Hull KR with a try i dont think Thornley would have scored. He has more chance of winning us the game than Thornley does but i agree that he does have more chance of losing us the game. For me Gelling should play, i think he deserves it. |

Games as big as Grand Finals define individuals and clubs. Remember, we only rent these journeys. In my time I had Pat Richard's shirt. Ellery Hanley had Sean O'Loughlin's jersey. Sam Tomkins is wearing Radders' number one jersey. Andy Coley is wearing Shaun Wayne's jersey. You have to make a mark in these shirts before you hand it down to someone else. Hand it back. So be aware for 80 minutes that you are not only playing, but you are also writing history and creating legacy. How many people actually write history - not many? A big stage demands big players…..INSPIRE YOUR TEAM MATES.

hey, its my money and my choice. If Wane in one of his last games at Wigan cant see that Dudson doesn't even look like a Wigan player, then thats up to him, same as its up to me to go or not. |
