I`m not being a pessimist but I really don`t know which way this game is gonna pan out. We shall miss Watts for sure but we have the cover and the attitude to overcome that loss. The desire to go all the way is evident in every game we play we just need a bit more luck with this one. Wigan are upto their normal mind games and we have to watch out for the needless penalties awarded against us every time we face them. Onwards and upwards.

is watts defo out ?

I would imagine he'll be given as long as possible to prove his fitness

Wigan's Squad is out - same as Saints apart from Tautai for FPN

Here we go.....

1. Jame Shaul 2. Mahe Fonua 3. Carlos Tuimavave 5. Fetuli Talanoa 7. Marc Sneyd 8. Scott Taylor 9. Danny Houghton 10. Liam Watts 11. Gareth Ellis 12. Mark Minichiello 13. Jordan Abdull 15. Chris Green 16. Jordan Thompson 19. Steve Michaels 21. Sika Manu 22. Josh Bowden 23. Frank Pritchard 24. Kirk Yeaman 33. Danny Washbrook



John Bateman, Joe Bretherton, Dom Crosby, Ben Flower, Oliver Gildart, Willie Isa, Dom Manfredi, Lee Mossop, Sean O’Loughlin, Sam Powell, Dan Sarginson, Kyle Shelford, Jake Shorrocks, Matty Smith, Ryan Sutton, Taulima Tautai, Lewis Tierney, Sam Tomkins, George Williams.

would imagine watts will remain a doubt up until kick off, we've got cover though

Abdull or Tuimavave - I would go with Abdull

I'll go Carlos

Abdull for me, although if tuime is 100 % I wouldn't be devasted if he played

I'll see myself out
