I'd flood the forwards for this. Play Wilkin/Turner at 6 and if it works stick with it for the rest of the year. Harsh on Travis but I feel our best chance of success this year is playing with a big pack and having a go at smashing other teams up the middle. I don't feel we'll lose much in attack with Travis dropping out and we'll benefit defensively by not having Burns and Walsh acting as turnstiles.

Quinlan
Makinson
Percival
Jones
Swift
Turner/Wilkin
Walsh
Masoe (Walmesley when he's fit)
Roby
Amor
Greenwood
Vea
Wilkin/Turner

LMS
Savelio
Thompson
Richards (Masoe)

I agree with this, we should be OK with 2 kickers especially also with Robes having a good short kicking game.

i think that might be the key. our kicking game over that last few games has been very good. Also Walsh's goal kicking has been top notch to.

we have 4 very capable kickers

That Leeds result makes tommorows game even more interesting. I laughed at BMcD post match comments. Quite clearly doing KC's teamtalk for him. Right out of the Alex Ferguson textbook that one.

I noticed him and Terry have both wrote Saints off in their predictions for the game tonight.

We'll win tonight, I'm that confident. Which is incredible judging on the past month when we didn't know where our next win was coming from. We have a real chance of topping the table.

It would be our best win since the GF if we win tonight. Playing Wigan, going for the top, without Walmsley and in simply awful form across the park? Seems a stretch to me.

It'll be more difficult without Walmsley I admit, but we've got Vea back and we're growing in confidence from the last few games, especially against Leeds & Cas. The last game was awful defensively but I was encouraged with the way we attacked.

Wigan's away record overall this season is ropey an all mate. Wigan are going for top but if we win tonight then the LLS is anyone's from 1-4.

Leeds result really sets up the semi's, think home advantage in the semi's for us is crucial, think tonight could be a classic, think our discipline will be key, if we keep the penalty count down we can win, if we don't we will lose, Leeds looked shot to me, the GF is up for grabs, at least the South Stand " Band " will not be there tonight.

lets hope saints have locked Mose up and fed him raw meat for the last few weeks. I really hope he bashes a few tonight!

This is why I was saying that we need to have a bit more perspective. It's sport, you can't win every match. At the moment we are 2 games away from topping the league. Were a some reactions on here have been as though we where going to be heading into the million pound game.

Early in the season people where saying Warrington were the team to beat and we would struggle to match them.

Should be a great game tonight. Everything to play for!!!

Re: 19 man squad v Wigan : Fri Sep 18, 2015 7:20 pm  

Early days, but our attack seems pedestrian and our defence is scrambling and disorganised. Only Pie errors kept us in it to Tomkins' try.

Lads need to sort their heads out. They look like they don't believe they can win at the moment.
