Same as last week. www.wiganwarriors.com/WContent.a ... &type=news

Expect same 17 as last week as well. Hoping for another strong performance, come on boys!

Saints are as follows: 3. Jordan Turner, 4. Josh Jones, 5. Adam Swift, 6. Travis Burns, 8. Mose Masoe, 9. James Roby, 10. Kyle Amor, 12. Jon Wilkin, 13. Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook, 14. Alex Walmsley, 15. Mark Flanagan, 17. Mark Percival, 19. Greg Richards, 22. Matty Dawson, 25. Andre Savelio, 26. Lewis Charnock, 28. Jack Ashworth 30. Matty Fleming, 34. Shannon McDonnell.

Still a very strong pack no matter how many times they tell us about all these injuries. Be a tough game but fancy us to carry on our form of recently, barring the first half at Huddersfield.

We gave you a hell of a game at your place despite the absentee list & can't see any reason for us not to do so again. That said here is this "so called injury list"

Lomax
Wellens
Walsh
Greenwood
Vea
Thompson
Makinson

Six of those would make our full strength seventeen. That said still think we've got enough to make a real game of it.

So which six players would drop out of your named squad?
btw Wellens has retired so don't count him.

Well, at least the excuses are in early

When was the last time you played us and didn't have a load of injuries? I can't remember the last time Saints fans didn't come on here telling us all about their injuries prior to a derrby game. Is there something amiss with the backroom staff? I'd be asking serious questions if your players are getting injured as regularly as is being made out.

Imagine if you're a player who sometimes frequents these boards (Many do, believe me) and you just see that your supporters have thrown in the towel days before the game and can't rely on anyone outside of the regular 17, you'd be rather disheartened.

4. Josh Jones, 13. Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook, 15. Mark Flanagan, 19. Greg Richards, 22. Matty Dawson, 25. Andre Savelio, 26. Lewis Charnock, 28. Jack Ashworth 30. Matty Fleming, 34. Shannon McDonnell.

These are the nine in the 19 that would be at risk. the most obvious six to go would be
15. Mark Flanagan, (19. Greg Richards or 25. Andre Savelio), 26. Lewis Charnock, 22. Matty Dawson, 28. Jack Ashworth 30. Matty Fleming,

and bring in
Vea, Greenwood, Thompson, Makinson, Walsh, Lomax

the 17 would then be picked on who we were playing and how we wanted to play. That makes the 19 stronger - but happy to go with what we have.

Lol don't count a player in the squad who has retired due to injury as injured? Good one that.

Can add Lance to the list of unavailable through injury too for similar reasons.

Reckon we'll be tough to beat anyway.

All but Wellens would make our first choice 17 without a doubt.

Saints are decimated no doubt. It will be a good indication where we are at it if we can put a good performance in. Always fear a team with Roby in, he can make something out of nothing and will do it for 80 mins.

Saints have injuries!they should mention it more!!

We'll need to go up a level or at least find some consistency near the opposition line to get the win. I don't fancy us winning this one from deep like we did in Newcastle or by playing for 40 mins like we did at Huddersfield.

Close game.

Has Eddie conformed these injuries yet? There is a slight possibilities that he may well mention them before during and after the game...

Crosby back in with Sutton or Patrick dropping out would be only change from last week I'd guess.

That's 10!

Even a thick Wiganer can argue with four broken legs.

A think wiganer could probably also be able to quote a post properly

The 'QUOTE' button is obviously lost on the more intelligent posters.

I don't remember the last time we had a fully fit squad to choose from.

That's rugby league for you.

So, they have 5 out and we have 4? I see.

For some reason, we have made a meal of these second games in recent years. As we don't have the Cup to focus on, we have no real excuses for not performing. Our best is better than their best without Walsh, but you just never can tell. Really looking forward to it.

4 that would make your 1st choice 17? Presumably you're not counting Thornley and Manfredi? Yes he kept Charnley out for a few weeks but if he was fit tomorrow would Charnley be dropped?

Who else is there?

If you're counting anyone who is absent then we have more than 5.

Does it really matter who is out? As one door closes one opens, it all creates competition for places and no matter who takes to the field its a derby and it will be competitive. I'd rather have a few out in all honesty.

Manfredi was Super Leagues top try scorer until his injury so he would probably have been picked. On form until the last two games Thornley would certainly have been in before Sarginson. Gelling and Clubb would also be in the side.

So if Manfredi and Thornley were fit tomorrow you think they'd drop Charnley and Sarginson?

Highly doubtful.
