Goons are not playing all that well at the moment, its only Matt Bowen whose playing with any form these last couple of games.

But they are only 2 points off 2nd with a game in hand. They are dangerous.

Bowen is in the top 10 for clean breaks and tackle busts despite playing two games less than most players. Plus of course his five tries.

Wigan always gear up physically for the derby. We have to match them early on, which is something we did not do against Cas.

We need to start Amor and Walmsley. Kyle is a rock and Walmsley is so awkward to tackle that he will be the least affected be Wigan's initially quick line speed.
Mose is not so good in this situation, so should be left as an impact sub.
I'd also start LMS at 13. He generally likes the derby and his workrate and physicality in defence will be very handy.

I think its safe to say we'd all leave Jones in the centre over Dawson, if Percy is not back.

Depsite my misgivings about his technical ability. I'm tempted to leave Wellens on the bench. We've been shakey of late and need galvanising as best we can.

Heard off few saints lads a few mumblings about what the pies going to do.

Walsh needs to protect himself and someone needs to put that pettyborne in his place who's been opening his mouth a lot in the Wigan camp. He's a gob shi*te.

Bowen looks alright. I think/hope the biggest thing he'll lack compared to Tomkins is his off the ball work. Tomkins speed looping round the back was very distracting to the opposition (possibly the psychological aspect of who is was added to this) and created space for other runners.

Space and ball to Tomkins was also plan A for Wigan, we might find that they mix it up a lot more these days.

sorry i ment on the "Walsh needs to protect himself and someone needs to put that pettyborne in his place who's been opening his mouth a lot in the Wigan camp. He's a gob shi*te." part. What has Pettyborne been saying etc?

I think it's quite simple. Hit em first.

Walsh needs to play his normal game, if he is looking for the swinging arm, he'll take his mind off the pass.
