Wigan by 10+ apologies, as I'm usually wrong.

He needs to have a massive target put on him in that opening spell to really set the tone. That always had to be the case but even more so if he’s carrying a niggle. I’ve seen Saints fans moaning that we’ll target that knee in particular but I don’t mean that in the slightest. I mean get off your line and get in to him before he gets a head of steam up. If you don’t do that he will murder you but even more importantly Roby, Lomax and Coote will murder you on the back of him.

I think a 3 man tackle involving Singleton, Bullock and Leauluai should suffice. If he gets through a couple of them unscathed he should be ok.

Ive spelt Tommy's name wrong just for a change. He has played for us for about 46 years and i still cant spell his name without googling it, How many vowels do you need in a name anyway

Could be worse though, The prop at Leeds everyone just calls Ava. I know his name as 'See you Manny fang hi' I bet Leeds fans still cant spell his name.

100%

All of our attack with the ball needs to be aimed at him. Send Singleton, Bullock and Olly at him early doors and as you say, big hits in defence. We can target him without being dirty, but of course it won't be seen that way if he goes off injured.

A smart coach might use him as a decoy in this one, especially if he's not 100%. If they have him as a dummy runner and pass it out the back instead, or have him passing it just before the line, they could catch us out. We probably have to deal with their plan A before we worry about plan B though as you say, if he is fit and gets going he is a massive part of what they do.

Just smash them all

The Shaun Wane approach! Get art thur and fookin smash um!

Typical dirty Wigan scum

I think we'll see a like for like encounter to our game with them a few weeks ago.

Tight in most areas, but Wigan executing their chances better to win by 14-16 points.

Sam Powell has scored more tries than Reegan Grace this year.

I just thought that stat should be out there.

Can't argue with that, same here!

Rugby League is made up of 99% perspiration and 1% of inspiration. Normally, the team that runs harder and tackles harder is victorious and I see no reason why that should change on Friday. They are two well matched teams and I believe that desire will win the game.

Ah yes, but every Grace try has been a worldie

Come on pal, you’ve got his first name wrong and I find that quite disrespectful. As we’re told on a regular basis on Sky, you spell it-

A-m-a-z-i-n-g

To be fair, powell's probably got more tries than our wingers this year too

Can I throw it out there that Walmsley has scored more than Burgess, Bibby, Hardaker and GIldart then?

I think the difference is no one talks about Bibby et al like they're the second coming

If he’s not scored more than them combined then it means nothing

I like how chose Bibby's name there and not NRL-elect Gildart or future skipper Hardaker.

No, bugger off

Haha sorry couldn't resist!

It would be extra sweet with a victory tomorrow as Saints, Warrington and Leeds have all had the luxury of playing at home. We only had that last week. We will have done it the hard way that's for sure.

You can’t have Gildart, he’s only played 8 games and scored 5 try’s, so we’ll go on ratios on that one.

On the rest we’ll just ignore that fact!

So you accept that your whole game plan then is for Walmsley to barge his way over?
