is he ever fit cayless!
when do you think we might see foster?

Don't think Jason Cayliss will make any of the games.

He's out for a meal Thursday night, dying on Friday and One day from Sunday is not enough recovery time.

If we get a lower league in the cup, then we might see Foster.

According to st. conroy thats matty smith you're on about

The team I would go with is:

Lomax
Gardner
Gidley
Gilmour
Meli
Wilkin
Pryce
Hargreaves
Cunningham
Puletua
Wilkin
Flannery
Clough

Bench

Roby
Ashurst
Fa'asavalu
Frodsham

Personally I would send Wello for his op now. Lets get it out the way and have him back firing on all cylinders sooner rather than later. Long could sit this game out and be fresh for when we have Hull on Monday and as for Graham who has been monsterous for us this season deserves a rest.

I think we could still put quite a few on wigan with that team Hargreaves and Clough made a lot of yards yesterday, and Maurie looked more restrained, kept his calm well when leeds were clearly trying to rile him.

I agree we should send wello off now and rest jammer and longy for this one. Finally is it time for cayless to give it up? he was awesome in year 1, but seems to be broken now.

Best thing that could happen for Wigan IMO. If Potter has anything about him, he'd keep the same 17. Just my opinion.

I think potter has proved he has

Worried about this one

Any regular SL game (i.e. normal weekly round) I@d back us but our squad fragility means MP will definitely be thinking about the best balance to get for both the Wigan and Hull games.

As ever with eAster, you need to win at least one - may be we'll lose to the Pies but do Hull? Difficult to take but in the long term may work out better if some key men get rested v Wigoon?

If the players need a rest it would be logical to do it on Thursday.
But it is the goons so who knows.

the thing with us is that weve got no bluddy go forward! you look at our potential back line for thursday

1.richards
2. roberts
3. gleeson
4. carmont
5. ainscough
6. sam tomkins
7. leuluai

and i am optimistic about our chances of scoring tries, the threat is there down both sides of the field

but then you look at our 4 props

coley,fielden,feka,prescott

coley- so lethargic
fielden- bottles gone
feka- a very good impact prop playing in a poor pack, put him in the saints side and he would be immense
prescott- a good young prop who we are relying to much on!

this is where saints will win the game- in the forwards!

I doubt that a player that was not fit enough to play in a must win on Sunday is going to be played in a bog standard league game on Thursday. I would like to see our pack get a reshuffle. Frodsham and Emmitt would be good options.

Wigan's likely team :
Richards
Roberts
Gleeson
Carmont
Ainscough
Tomkins
Leuluai
Fielden
Riddell
Coley
Hansen/Bailey
Hock
O'Loughlin

Tomkins
Feka
McIlorum
Prescott

Isnt Feka a starting prop now he lost half a pound in weight ?

They use him as an "impact" prop sometimes.

Leaving Long out in this game would be a sin.

We've proved we can cope without Long though. Wilkin was a brilliant stand-in yesterday, his kicking game especially was spot on.

Not as much as playing him if hes not fit

I'd save him for Hull on Monday, they'll pose more of a challenge than Wigan.

No one has come out and said how bad the injury was or how long he could be out.

Hopefully he will be back sooner rather than later, but if he his not 100% he should not be risked at this stage of the season.

According to Potter in LE he's only just jogging.

He's been jogging for the last three years.

Play him.

TBH I'd agree with that. why risk a player who is less than 100% fit so early in the season
