I wondered how long it would take for someone to roll that out. Long and Cunningham are far more influential than any of those players.

Sculthorpe and Joynt had at least equivalent impact and influence on the Saints teams at the time of their leaving.

Long has pretty much already been replaced and we have 2 international hookers in the wings to replace Cunningham, i.e. we have more England international hookers as backup to Cunningham, than Wigan has England internationals of any position.

Long is so critical to Saints at the moment that we take him off at half time so Eastmond can play and are letting him go to Hull.

Or we can replace him when injured with a second row forward when playing the current champions.

Another from me. The team that Ashmeister posted is better than that one.

Lets see this Wigan home grown on the books team then? Will be interesting to hear you justify it as better than a side including 5 current/former internationals, including 3 MoS winners.

Your reserves have more SL experience than ours of that there's no doubt. Playing a youngster in your side every now and again is no big deal. They have big game players around them to help them through. Playing one alongside the shower of sh*t that currently is our first team would be suicidal.
