Stop your skriking .
You've got about 3 regulars of your starting 13 players out. Tough cack. Your the best team since the inception of RL so you should take such minor deflections in your stride.
Not sure why you feel we are compelled to uphold the worth of SL when we have obviously failed so miserably in recent history to delive any silverware.
By the way I still hope you snot the Aussies on Sunday and genuinely fully anticipate that you will rise to the occassion on the night even if you are one or two senior players missing.

Did you even read my posts before you replied

Why is anyone taking on this idiot?

How does Lomax, McDonnell, Percival and Roby stack up, as for Mossop didn't he play in the reserves last week?

On that subject it's an interesting one. Presuming Lomax and McDonnell eventually being fit at the same time what will happen regarding positions? Lomax was looking primed to be No.1 before his injury and that is McDonnell's strongest position. Will one of them go to 6.?

Lomax is comfortably a better player then McDonnell when both are fit. If he comes back anything like from his injuries he'll walk the fullback spot.

Would they start in the same team? (just curious)

As for Mossop, I wouldnt have him in the 17 at the moment, fit or not

I think that has been answered by Cherry_, saints have struggled in the halves for far too long, so Lomax at 6/7 with McDonnell at full back would not unbalance the team.

On your second point, we are all entitled to our opinion and I respect yours.

If Tomkins was playing I think we would have nicked it. As it is, I'm just not sure what we're going to hurt them with at this stage of the season, unless we pull some new tricks out of the bag.

Add to that our defence in the game last year was phenomenal, the best display of the year in that regard. We'll have to match that and then some as they now have a better surface to play on.

Would be great to win but can't see it and I'm afraid looking at it objectively all the signs point to a bad weekend for the Super League.

Looking forward to the games though and really hope I'm wrong.

Has their been any announcement of who is reffing your game? Silverwood is doing Leeds and Thaler the Saints game but yours is still TBC on the RFL site. Matt Cecchin from Australia is reserve ref on Friday and VR on Sunday and I can't imagine they've brought him over just for those roles so my guess would be that he'll ref your game providing he doesn't have to come off the bench as reserve ref on Friday night.

Yes it's him.

Wigan had a first team vs reserves training run with him reffing the game the other day to get used to his refereeing style.

Wane confirmed this on Wigan TV.

Only on rlfans , a multi page pi$$ing contest on who has got the most injuries



Good luck to all three English clubs this weekend , lets hope we all at least make it competitive .
