This mahoosive, hopeless underdog narrative does make me smile.
Looking through the squad Wire have released in order on the BBC website:
Ratchford - international and one of the best players in SL
Lineham - England Knights, scored the winner between the sides in the play-off semi
Goodwin - Top NRL player
Charnley - International, top 3 wingers in SL
Hill - International
D Clark - International
Cooper - International and NRL
Currie - Excellent young player Hughes - One of the best back rowers in SL for me
Murdoch-Masila - Very damaging player on his day
J Clark - NRL quality player
Patton - Weak link
Philbin - Destructive player, ripped Wigan apart last week
King - Decent player, nothing special
Akauola - International and NRL Livett - Good young player
Mamo - Very dangerous player
Davis - Doubt he'll play
Westwood - Spent force
Added to the fact Wire clearly have a strong side, they are playing a team who has done nothing but choke in big games in recent years.
I'm certain the game will be a close one - can't wait.
Regardless of all them nice words about our current squad, the fact is we are miles off compared to Saints and playing some of the worst rugby currently (in the last 2 months) than we have played for quite some time. We are averaging 13.3 points scored a game in the last 6 and without our key playmaker.... our chances are very slim, one off game or not.
