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.

Wigan by 4

he hasnt put them in any particular order and he means all them players in respect to us having all that Beef on the sidelines.


Tomorrow is gonna be a busy day for Dudson and Hansen i feel...

Can we do without our legendary Captain? i dont think so

-2 is a great price for Saints

I disagree. Falls off too many one on ones for my liking and has not got enough attacking awareness. Fingers crossed he can prove me wrong tomorrow

Things are bad if we've had to resort to that. He looked terribly unfit in pre season and can't see how that will have improved having not played any first team rugby at this level. I really fear for the worst with him tomorrow.

Just read Wane saying he had to pull Hock out of training this week because he's that fired up he thought he was going to cause more injuries to other players! He's missed 11 derbys on the trot so no wonder he's pumped.

I've no doubts we can do this. Hopefully Gaz will have a day where everything sticks and if so he'll scatter them.

I disagree about Tuson's work ethic being very similar to Lockers, I'm not saying he's lazy by any means but I would like to see more involvement from him, very few tackles and carries in a game. Hopefully he will really step up and fill that gap though. Prescott, Lima, McIlorum, Hansen and Hock are the guys to look to here, they all need to lead from the front and pull Dudson, Spencer, Tuson and Hughes along with them.

I read this too and I wasn't surprised at all Hock is such an aggressive player, we need him to perform tomorrow without any of this aggression spilling over into acts of violence.
