We beat Leeds at LP with half the first choice team missing when Leeds were in the middle of their hot streak AND they had a full team out. So what?

Injuries are no excuse. But Wigan fans all over appear to be making injuries an excuse!

Aren't you a school teacher? If so surely you shouldn't be some one with selective reading tendencies or i hope you don't mark exam papers. My point was that injuries won't be an excuse but you still can't deny that saints will have a massive advantage come friday.

And Wigan will have the home crowd so any 50/50 will go their way. Nice advantage to have.

You will beat Wigan on Friday by 10 or more points.

Of course they are an excuse. If we were missing as many as Wigan probably will, we'd get beat by 30 minimum, and our first comment would be about how many players we were missing. The second comment would probably be about a lack of effort.

This is a derby and whoever the big APE puts out the 17 players will be up for it, So yes we have a bit of an advantage with our squad but Wigan will be no pushovers. If anything they have more to prove so could be a harder game?

Our pack needs to step up massively from Sunday's performance, they were really quite poor IMO, especially around the ruck in defence.

Wane saying he might be giving a couple debuts, squad later on should be interesting.

I'd like to think so. I honestly feel Friday could be make or break for certain players and even Brown himself. McManus can't possibly accept another gutless derby performance.
