Most Saints fans would probably answer the equivalent question with Tomkins and Richards. What about your biggest threat from Saints?

I'm scared of Jamie Foster's barber............................phew !!!!!!!!!!

Boots!!!

Two big Saints gamebreakers are Pryce and Eastmond imo but it doesnt look like likely that either will play. The other main one left is obviously Cunningham, if we let him get the ball in hand in good positions we could be in big trouble. Tony Puletua has looked really good on the couple of occassions i have seen him play as well.

Roby.

Best player in the Saints team by far for me.

Any other day James Graham. But on Saturday it will be Kieron Cunningham.

I think they are all (apart from the first 2 kn0bs) good observations. Puletua is a real handful particularly close to the line as he's massive and hard to stop. Soliola may also be a surprise if he sorts his attack out but I suspect his role will be in the second row to bang a couple of the Wigan players about (and he can).

However I think the biggest threat to Wigan comes from the unknowns plus Roby. Smith's kicking game in the final quarter can unlock anyone's defence plus Lomax is somewhat of an unknown.

In the Hudds game they lost 22-6 with him on the field and 30-0 or something with him off.

Cunningham and Puletua for me.

not a roby fan then

James Graham for me, yes Cunningham is a game breaker, but if we manage to keep Graham as quiet as possible and win the forward battle, or at least not lose it if you know what I mean, then I think our backs are much better than theirs.

People say that about us with McIllorum and although its true to an extent, when your bench hooker is on is usually around the time when your bench forwards are on and as such your generally a weaker side.

When MM is on for us its normally with Prescott + Feka, and we tend to suffer more during these periods of the games.

If I were a Wigan fan, which I happily am not, I'd be worried out Soliola in defence and Puletua's go forward. Those two players will be key for us on saturday.

Exactly. You cant really blame it on one player i.e Micky Mac or Roby. Playing with Fielden + Coley will be a damn sight easier imo than with Prescott + Feka in MM's case.

Cunnigham and Roby. Possibly Puletua as well but when only close to our line.

Slight misunderstanding on your part, there. You probably read that Saints won the game 36-0 with Cunningham on and lost it 22-6 with Cunningham off. That doesn't mean that Roby wasn't on the field at the same time as Cunningham. In fact I think he was on for all the 2nd half, when we scored quite a few points.(not just six).

Tony P for me, the bloke is lethal near the line or indeed in the final 20M

Roby, I get the feeling all eyes will be on Cunningham, which may give Roby a bit of room to exploit us

Absolutly no one if we play like we did against Leeds could be a hammering

Agreed and we need to nullify him by working him hard in defence.

If i was a Wigan player i'd want to stay away from Soliola. Some of his tackles are lethal.

As are Tommy Leuluais, just ask Mary F

1 of the main reasons saints are in the final is paul wellens, he could be ne to watch out for.

Just giving the stats. I don't think he is as good as people make out.

Got to say they may both be nearing & reaching the end respectively but I think Wellens and Cunningham will be their most dangerous players come Saturday.

Got to say their pack completely dominated Warrington in the first week of the playoffs by playing simple rugby in wet conditions. They do have the potential to control the game in that situation.
However if our forwards play like they can, no matter how good Graham, Soliola and Puletua have been we can nullify that threat and I think our back line is man for man far superior. Particularly with them missing first choice halves!

Cunningham, Graham and Foster.
