Imagine if you're a player who sometimes frequents these boards (Many do, believe me) and you just see that your supporters have thrown in the towel days before the game and can't rely on anyone outside of the regular 17, you'd be rather disheartened.

Injuries are part and parcel of RL that's why clubs have 25+ in their squads. The real question should be, could any of those injuries have been avoided/timescales shortened with better management or techniques. I suspect that if this was a GF then a few more players would be available. This is Wigan v Saints and 99% of the time we get an excellent contest no matter which personnel turn out. I expect tonight's game to be no different.

Rumour has it Greenwood is on the bench for you lot tonight and possibly Walsh.

Their very fine owned stadium! I couldn't care less. Whoever owns the sods that the sods play on won't help them tonight win or lose, and time has shown again and again it's not always who's missing either, it's pride in the shirt that usually makes the difference. But on the subject of this fabulous Hangtree park, didn't it nearly blow away once?

I think if it's a straight up forward battle I think saints have the edge just with sheer size, but if it's an expansive game I think we have the edge IMO our backs are the better set, should be a close game which could go either way

Especially with Makinson out.

Anyway, safely arrived at Wigan hotel, a marked contrast to the last Saints game when I arrived bloody and battered...



So looking forward to this!
