Can't argue with that. The blueprint for how to win games.

Agreed. Spelling McIlorum and Tommy in that way works so much better than bringing on another halfback and shifting players in to different positions. I mentioned this a few weeks ago and said I thought the only stumbling block was whether Deacon could consistently put 80 mins in. Seems to be working so far. For next year I think we need to leave Sam at 1, Tommy/McIlorum spelling at hooker and bring in another half to play alongside Finch (Rangi Chase

)

Joe Mellor!

Definitely, would like to see him get a chance a some time this year if Deacs is given a rest. Too young and untested at SL level to say he's the long term answer at the moment though.

I thought the saints pack was going to walk all over us... or so I was told.

I looked at the starting line ups and said if our pack can compete we'll win.

As it is our forwards absolutely steamrollered theirs and we battered them.

Well done lads, keep it up!

Wigan owned saints for 80 mins........ awsome display.

Next week it will be even more fearsome.

Props - Jeff Lima, Lee Mossop, Paul Prescott, Andy Coley
Back row - Ryan Hoffman, Harrison Hansen, Gareth Hock
Loose forward - Lockers

That's one hell of a pack.

Especially if they let us start playing with 8 in the pack

Smart a$$.



Two props on the bench along with Hock. I suspect Tuson will be replaced by Hock on the bench. It should be interesting to see which props start against Huddersfield. Lima and Mossop absolutely dominated the Saints pack. Personally I wouldn't change a winning formula. Lima, Leuluai, Mossop, Hansen, Hoffman and Lockers to start with Paul Prescott, Andy Coley, Gaz Hock and Mike McIlorum on the bench. Awesome pack.

I think Hock will replace Tuson next week, the stage is set with it being the big one.

I have been Prescotts biggest critic over recent months/seasons but in the past few games (and arguably all season) he's been fantastic.

I have no qualms whatsoever about saying I've been proved wrong about him. Keep up the good work PP
