I wish that you had a full team out.
Ive never known any set of supporters bleat as much over a few injuries/potential suspensions.

Compared to Good Friday your 17 will be stronger with the inclusion of Matautia offset by the loss of Dodds. So not a bad outcome and one could argue an even stronger pack for you to demolish a shoite Wigan pack as many of your clan describe our pack..
If you don't win by 30 points with your improved pack then I will only conclude that your lads played the worst that they have done since dear old Cunningham was still in charge.

For us to win we will have to play our best rugby (and better if that's possible) for a full 80 minutes and Saints will have to play well below their best. We haven't put in an 80 minute performance for the last 3 and half years bar one game so something pretty extraordinary will need to occur for us to do so on Saturday.
You guys just need to turn up and play to your high standard.
On paper this is now a gimme for your lads. No excuses.
I hope we win you guys know you will win.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if both Lomax and Grace missed out. Even if they do we still have a very good chance of course but it’s by no means the done deal some on here seem to think it is, you’d think we were playing with 15 v 13 on the pitch the way some bang on.

Getting our first choice back row back out there will be really helpful, albeit shifting Roby away from hooker is something that worries me. He really makes us tick from DH and Lussick isn’t in the same league as him.
