Good to see Singleton back I guess and I know it’s been mentioned to death now but a bit contributor to the spiral we’re in is due to the forwards or lack of them. Didn’t watch last game back but heard we were poor and made a lot of errors. Be a hard game and need to buck our ideas up massively but we could still win.

Saints squad looking very good.



Hoping for a solid performance and stay in the fight for 80 minutes, giving us something to build on for the week after which is the big game.

Probably a tough night in store for us again but its Wigan Saints, anything can happen. Need big performances from Ellis & Byrne to get us into the game from the start. It would be nice to see Mago really make a difference from the bench for a change but I really struggle to see that happening. If we start poorly, which we seem to be making a habit of, we'll have no chance. I'd play O'Neill, we really need some speed around the play the ball.

Reckon nearly everyone would start with O'Neil but barring last minute injury to Powell we all know that's never going to happen

Agree completely. So far its my only gripe with Peet, his stance on Powell. I understand it, but it ultimately hurts the team more than should be doing.

No chance.

It is hard to see us winning this one to be honest, can only see us getting dominated due to our depleted pack. Hopefully Singleton comes back in and makes a difference but i can't see it.



Going to get the train over there a few hours before kick off and get a few in me to settle the nerves / numb the oncoming pain

Saints by 20 points, just can't see anything other than a comfortable win for them. We have been so poor this past month, obviously the injuries to the forwards haven't helped but all aspects of our play as been very poor

I am still expecting a defeat and I’m hoping it won’t be a walk over. Their fired up seems to be more than what we are able to produce. GF match Saints weren’t inform. I hold out hope we can win. Need to start pulling our finger out as I fear we’re coming up to the business end of the season and we’re not ready

Concur with this.

My worry is if we get a slow start then we could get a real hammering.

Will Peet go back to Field at FB and French on the wing?

Could Thornley get into the starting 13?

A difficult one for Peet and his coaching team.

Interesting times

If we can be somewhat competitive and take some confidence into the cup game that would be good enough IMO although I know a lot of the Wigan fanbase would not agree. Sometimes you have to be realistic, take the hit and take comfort from the fact that you don't need to win every game. Just the knockout ones.



I fear a very tough night though due to a very limited forward pack and a halfback pairing with little form/fitness.
