Dont know how our big lads will go.
With the 6 to go and no scrums to slow the play down, it's a delicate balance between power and speed.
Huddersfield were gassed and blew an "unassailable" lead last weekend and Catalan blew up tired, mind you Saints defence was awesome.
I'm hoping to sneak a win but, expect that Wigan will win by 6-8 points.

Should be a good game in quick conditions and if we get the chance, our three quarters can do some damage.
Johnstone and Kay both know their way to the try line so, its going to be a belter.

To digress slightly but we play St Helens at their home ground and then Warrington at their stadium. I know there will be no crowds but it is still home advantage.

We've got the same issue with the likes of Burgess and Bullock, should be interesting how teams adapt to the new rule.

Thought that myself. But then again Hudds had their home game against Leeds at Headingley.

Who will be the kicker, my guess would be Jowitt

I think Tony Gigot has done goal kicking a fair bit, but I wish Hampshire was playing

Re: Starting 17 : Sat Aug 08, 2020 5:26 pm  

Think Batchelor can kick as well?

As a junior he was a fantastic kicker same as his brother Joe

Westerman kicked a hell of a lot in his early days at Cas, I’d imagine it will be between Jowitt and Gigot though.
