It's alright if Josh perry is back, he'll sort them out.

To be fair Rogues, Wigan aren't exactly averse to targeting halves "legal or not".

give it a rest! tomkins is allowed to be tackled on the pitch. manu got put on report by ganson yet nothing came of it, the fact was we got in your faces, played wigan at their own game which you didn't like and your fans just spat their dummies out big style!

do you remember who actually got sent off in that game???

Yeah...Pepe!! What? Oops wrong forum.

Tomkins just can't stand being tackled. He's like a prima donna pansyballer. At least Eastmond appears to be straight up (on the field lol)

Dont listen to Rogues, S Tomkins is a dirty little sh!h0use quite capable of looking after himself and dishing it out.

Usually with his knees or his studs.

out of the ones you got injured,if all fit how many would be in the team? still looks a good team to me and think it will be a cracker of a match.how many do you think you will bring? have a good journey over and see you monday

Now hearing Makinson won't feature so that would mean Armstrong coming into the side with a complete unknown back on the bench adhering to sizzlers policy. Interesting to note on the Saints website 3 youngsters have now been given first team squad numbers.

30. Josh Jones
32. Joe Greenwood
33. Warren Thompson

Wellens
Pryce
Flannery
Moore
Clough
Wheeler
Lomax
Gaskell
Makinson

Wellens would be full back.
Pryce would be stand off.
Lomax would be scrum half.
Flannery would be second row.
Moore would be interchange.
Clough would be interchange.
Wheeler would be left centre or most probably interchange back.
Gaskell probs 18th/19th man.
Makinson still learning his trade but promising intro to first grade.

So out of the 9 injured, 7 would be in our strongest seventeen.

Still an excellent starting lineup, bench could be were you struggle though.

Thats a good starting line-up but again like Good Friday when Puletua and Jammer are spelled we will be leaking points at a alarming rate. I hope Royce Simmons has come up with a plan on how to spell Jammer and Puletua one at a time.

Isn't it easy?

Just start with one, have the other on the bench and spell them with each other.

Sure, you miss the full A Team impact, but you also avoid the outmuscled spell which sees us leaking the points you refer to.

But would it? Would just one of them be as effective as both of them? Personally, I don't think they would.

Hitting Sam is like a 241. He starts limping round with his had on his hip while his sister starts getting all moody which usually results in a few penalties. Sod Cunningham and Sculthorpe we need Jason Hooper back



OK here is my guess at the team

Armstrong
Gardner, Shenton, Meli, Foster
Wilkin, Eastmond
Perry, Roby, Graham
Soliola,Ashurst, Puletua

Magennis, Elemes, Dixon, Ashe

I would rather go for Hale than Dixon due to Dixons defense but I think Royce will disagree with me. If Perry is still out then both will play. If Eastmond still has a sniffle then we are struggling.

Should be enough to give Hull a game. Hopefully our depth will not get tested much more.

I'd imagine they'd be about half as effective. Or half as ineffective. Or something.

I think the bench is gonna be light no matter what we do , Perry coming back would be a massive boost though

on Tomkins still one of the funniest things Ive seen this year was when he turned round to hit the bloke hold of him (probably hoping the bigger version would come in to bail him out) saw it was the Warrington tellytubby and bricked himself

The bigger one is no better. When we played them Briscoe smashed Joel over the touchline. He then threw the ball at Briscoe and got up looking to start something only to see Willie Manu stood in front of him. Suddenly he wasnt quite so interesting in playing the hard man.

Personally I would start them both and spell them apart. We all know what happenend at Wigan when they where on the Interchange Bench at the same time. That has to be avoided where ever possible in the future.

I would rather go for Hale than Dixon due to Dixons defense but I think Royce will disagree with me.


Looking at the stats Dixons defence is on a par with most of the players in his position;

App Missed Tackles

Wilkin 8 15
Puletua 12 12
Clough 6 2
Soliola 9 22
Flannery 9 11
Moore 10 21
Ashurst 5 2
Magennis, 8 11
Dixon 4 6

Come on, were not all that bad.



At least Radders had TMFMISL hiding behind the rest of his teammates last backend.

But we are! didn`t you know according to most forums we only win by being dirty barstewards,or the ref is always bias towards us? Get a grip man.

Hope you guys have a safe journey to the K.C and lets hope for a cracking game with no more injuries. Hull vs Saints is always a fixture I look forward too.

Perry will be the answer to that. Also at wigan we were down by 2 subs at half time, so that messed up spelling the forwards better.
