Can we not bother, give them the two points and take an eight-point hit on the for-and-against?

Squad news. Big Zee out - back down under for family reasons - Antoni Maria and Brenton Webbmaster both injured. So...

Damo White, Leon, Tommy B Goode, The Elima-nator, Ian Hendo Henderson, Bulldozer, Sir Steve Menzies Campbell, Mr Anderson, Mounis, EELLOOIII, Kevin Larroyer, Number 69, Mathias Not There, Big Mickey S, JaJa, JB, Viiinnnn-ceeennnttt Dupooo-oooo-ooorrrttt (rat ta tat ta tat), Fred Vaccari, JPB.

Wigan:

Burke, Charnley tete de buisson, Crosby Stills and Nash, Dudson, A Farrell of some description, Flowerpotman Ben, Blake Green, J'Accuse, McIlorum, SOL tete de buisson, SPowell, Patrick Richards O'Irishman, Doctor Who, Rhod Lloyd, STaylor, Thornley, LTomkins, Stomkins, Tuson.

Wigan players out of the squad for various reasons:-
Prescott, Mossop, Hock, Hansen, Lauaki, O'Loughlin, Goulding, Gelling.
Wigan will be fortunate to hold your pack.
Catalans vulnerable with Blanch facing Richards and Thornley. Blanch not the tallest guy when the Wigan players are 6'4" and 6'5" respectively.
Should be a good game.

I didn't realise Vaccari and Baile were still at the club. Wonder why they haven't been involved so far?

Injuries

There was a bit of talk when JPB was left out of the initial squad list but the fact you can add people to it made that a bit of a red herring.

I hope he can stay fit for a while and get some form back.

Away form still horrible

How bad was it? Obviously not as bad as the 58-0 the other year, but even so...

Sounded like Wigan were just too hot, but feels like déjà vu doesn't it?
