It is good news....Cunningham has been a thorn in our side (and many other teams) on many occasions.....He's never had a bad game against us though...

or carrying all that weight on them

Not bothered about him missing this game as it improves our chances of winning, especially with Higham out.

Will be a shame if he retires at the end of the season though, best player of the Super League era IMO.

there is still the potential for a last minute Sean Long drop goal though

not if we pay franco from the italian restuarant down the road to arrange a "paul bishop" the day before the match!

Dont worry,like all superleague teams they'll have a player considered good enough to come in and take his place.

They've got a lad called Roby,seen him a few times and believe me,hes good!!

Who replaces Roby on the bench as interchange hooker?

Gidley might be out aswell.

Wouldn't get too excited though, as we have played much more depleted Saints sides, and lost.

I wouldn't bet against Smith doing it at his first attempt though.

Yeah Scott Moore, but he won't be back until next season.

Your argument about SL teams having quality back up in all positions is extremely misguided.

one man dosnt make a team

I'll say the same thing I have said each game for years, "You'll never have a better chance".



And to be perfectly honest I'd much rather you have the street parties and town-wide public holiday sized chufty banging about beating us in a meaningless SL game than in a certain game at Wem-ber-leeeee. Much rather.

Unless the team is Warrington and you're Lee Briers?

YOU do it when you win in the last minute!

Cunningham out is a big loss for Saints, but that guy Roby is more than useful.

I really believe for the first time in many years we will beat Saints. The 'Smith' factor is at work.

Only because it's so funny seeing the reactions of the Wire fans.

People in Warrington will speak of 'the day' for decades when it finally happens.

A good stuffing in the league game might make the CC more interesting this year as there will be 3 sides we are capable of having a mare against still left in.

Bring back Saintc....

If we don't beat Saints this time we will NEVER beat them.

if we win thay will use this as an excuse.

they are playing well though let's not forget that.
Although i want wire to win im actually more intrigued as to how far Wire have come under TS and this is a better way of seeing.

Eastmond/Wheeler (Probably Eastmond) or start with Wilkin at 9 and leave Roby at interchange.


Not confident for this game at all.

Losing Cunningham isn't that much of a blow because Saints can bring in somebody else to do a job, may not be as good as Cunningham but will still do what is asked of him.
We need Saints to lose another 3 first team players this weekend before ill get confidant about our chances.

A saints fan told me this morning that Gidley is out too, i dont know how true it is but it certainly looks like they have a mounting injury list.

He is out for two weeks.

Hope this is true then, getting closer now if Gilmour and say Graham get injured this weekend it becomes a level playing field for the Wire game.
