Smithies to SR and Shorrocks to start at LF.
Forber to replace Shorrocks on the bench.
Forwards have to step up. All of them.
KPP has the perfect platform to show if he is really ready for the nrl.
Interesting times.

Agreed

It would be a very pleasant surprise if we win this one. I don’t think the pack have it in them and with Field out, likely replaced by Powell we will be missing a cutting edge.

I just hope it’s a good game and a great atmosphere. I’m making the 250 mile trek up for this one and taking the kids for the first time.

Im making the 7 mile round trip and hope you have a great day!

Daughters first good Friday game and first 'major' game shes been too. Hoping for a good day all round, win or lose

I hope they win for you and your family.

We had him for the Salford play off semi too so it's three out of our last four home games I don't mind him to be honest

Saints are hard to break down at the best of times and being down to our 5th choice half (Behind Smith, Field, Cust and Hampshire) is going to be even harder.

I was more hopeful when it sounded like Paasi was out as him and Walmsley are huge for Saints but sounds like he’s good to go.

Cliche but we just need to keep it tight, defend well and take the few chances we’ll get.

With Powell in the halves, I honestly can’t see us scoring unless it’s a bit of individual magic from French. I’m dreading it. Saints by at least 16.

Disappointed that Astley isn't on the bench. It could have given us a point of difference if the halves pairing wasn't working. Nothing we have in that squad offers us that as it's likely to be Powell (slow with little kicking game) or Shorrocks (not quite as slow but with even less kicking game). Astley is inexperienced but he's quick and has a good kicking game. I think we have missed a trick not having him on the bench to bring on if things aren't clicking.

Hopefully Farrell and Marshall are available and, perhaps more importantly, are not playing injured/ill as they're likely to be found out if that's not the case. Without them we lose a lot of cutting edge in attack.

Fingers crossed for a good game.

Anybody know what time the South Stand gates open tomorrow please ?

Almost a full house tomorrow. For the sake of the game we need a classic contest to attract new viewers, spectators and sponsors.

That would be great, let's hope the club makes an absolute killing tomorrow inside and out the arena. Weather looks dry and sunny all day so should be packed out. I hope the club are ready for it.

Wonder why the club isn't providing a pay on the gate option for the final batch of tickets, particularly as the weather is supposed to be nice.

Probably risk related with only limited availability left. It could be a request from the police, generally they are involved when the away end sells out.

This all day.

Hope the club (and it will) run out of stock in the village. Balls to the stadium concessions, let's get the village packed out and line the pockets of our club.

We will need Smith firing on all cylinders tomorrow if we have Powell in the half's, he poses no real attacking threat and will be easy to read in defense so we will struggle trying to create an overlap, we can't rely on defence winning us the game, we will need to score points and they may be hard to come by with just Smith and French our main attacking threats

I believe it is a sell out.

Some on RedVee think Dodd may be injured with Welsby in the halves. As with Farrell, I'll believe it when I see it.

What a team. Peet has brought the feelgood factor back. Get Toby King signed up. He is just getting started. He will play the best rugby of his career here. Clearly suits the environment he is in. What a performance. Im glad Redvee has pointed out that we played at 100% whilst they only played at 50% and the ref got man of the match.





God i love Saints fans.

Fantastic game, thoroughly enjoyed it.

Well done wigan - deserved winners.

A game won by effort that one. Given Field and Cust were missing we had to play a certain way, and we did it to perfection.

That said, Saints had they taken their chances would have won, so we still have to be a lot better come the big games that do matter.
