Bit of a risk if thats what your doing but can see why McGuire was chosen as its like what Melbourne did.
Afraid not. I will be very shocked if we do.
I think Josh Vievers and Ben Davies are going on loan to Wakefield.
Ian Thornley might get a chance but he still only 17. Same applies to Joe Mellor.
Expect to see the introduction of Liam Farrell and more from Lee Mossop, Sean Ainscough and co!

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster..

You know something? I really don't care who won the reserves grand final! We won the academy grand final last year, seven of those players were signed up to our first team and played in the defeated reserves grand final this year. It means precisely nothing to win one of these grand finals but if you have to cling on to something then go ahead. I shall be waiting with baited breath to see which of your stars breaks through into the first team with success and which are let go due to the change in rules. Hopefully there will be enough good players stepping up for Wigan to stop signing Aussies all over the spot. However, if you're expecting a cohort of Sam Tomkins then you will be disappointed. It just doesn't work that way, regardless of whether they win reserves grand finals or not.
btw: obviously you were the better side on the day. You won convincingly!

It's because Eastmond has been missing kicks. Some of them from very close to the posts.

I was sat next to some saints fans at the grand final and we had some good banter and a good chat and then as we got to the game they kept asking me what was going on
They also said it was their first game of the season so I asked if they lived far from St Helens and they live round the corner from the GPW
Shocking.

Correct.

Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions
