Peter Lupton and Jarrod Sammut ommitted from the 19 man squad.

only 1 prop on the bench, interesting. I presume tony P will move to front row at some point when he is spelled and wilkin is introduced. Good to see Magennis get another go to, he got lots of hype before his knee went and from what i hear, hes a very grounded good lad

I'd guess so too.

And we're underway, Jamie Foster kicks off giving Crusaders first possession of the ball.

Wigan have scored an early try at the DW to make it 4-0 to them.

Saints score an exciting opener, James Roby scoots from dummy half and makes a great offload to the supporting Jonny Lomax. Jonny then rounds Clinton Schifcofske with pace and footwork to go under the sticks. Jamie Foster converts.

Yet another scoot and offload from James Roby sends Lee Gaskell spinning his way over after Saints gained field position on the back of a Crusaders penalty. Jamie Foster converts again.

Consecutive penalties for Crusaders on the St Helens goal line forces Saints into some great defence to keep them out.

Wellens goes in for Saints' 3rd try under the sticks after a poor defence read from Gareth Thomas. Foster coverts again to keep his 100% record going.

Gareth Thomas goes in for Crusaders after a cross field kick. Schifcofske converts.

Gardner in at the corner after a sweeping move from Saints. Jamie Foster converts from the touchline. More good news is that Wigan are being beat 24-4 by Catalans.

Is Sammut injured or dropped I wonder

Magennis makes a great break and gives it to the supporting Roby. Roby has too much pace for Schifcofske and goes in from 40m out.

I'd guess Sammut is injured as I can't see him being dropped.

Cheers for the updates. Where are you listening to the game?

Thanks

High tackle on Jon Wilkin 25m out gives Saints great territory. Roby attempts the scoot and offload once again but unfortunately LMS can' t take the pass and possession is lost.

I listen to Wish FM when they've got it covered. Some pretty good coverage.

Welcs

Now 30-4 to Cats

Halftime hooter blown with Crusaders pressuring the Saints line. Saints 30 - 6 Crusaders. At the DW Wigan 10 - 30 Catalans

Second half back underway.

Oh dear, not long into the second half a missed tackle from Gary Wheeler proves costly. Tony Martin in out wide for Crusaders. Witt converts to put Crusaders back within 3 scores.

Saints give a penalty away straight from the kick off giving Crusaders more possession in Saints' half.
