Personally I wouldn't have phelps or deacon in my 17 but hansen is a shoe in for second row as is mossop. I'm not the coach though and injuries permitting I would think that deacon and phelps would still be in the 17 more often than not.

But hey, you know the Wigan team a lot better than us just as a few on here know what's going on at Saints more than you.

I'm sorry.

Can I just say................

Boo-f***ing-hoo.

Put your first-choice 17 against whoever we play and I'd STILL give us a better than 50/50 chance this year.

We have pretty much the same number of first team regulars out, so quit looking for excuses before a ball is even kicked.

Stop your whining.

If 4 (2 internationals) is pretty much the same as 6 (all internationals), then yeah you do.

For a fine example of excuses before a ball is kicked, check out the ref thread on your very own board.



Oh and I've already said I fancy us to win this weekend anyway, so no excuses here.

the ref thread is no excuse the ref thread are FACT s played 3 lost 3 FACT .

So Bentham helped you build up big leads twice then made you throw them away? Give over.

get back on topic

It was all part of his cunning plan

No its not, it hasnt been the first choice since the first couple of games. Phelps has fallen way down the pecking order and he hasnt been selected for a long time, even when fit.

In nearly every game one team will have more injuries than the other. This week you may have more out than us, thats rugby, stop going on about it. Im sure Eddie will mention it enough on Sunday
