When is our squad picked for the grand final?



I got a txt today that we will have a big name player back.

scully looked in good shape to when I went for my tickets

I wish scully was still playing!

So do I!

I think soliola us going to have a big bearing on the outcome. If he can rattle some of the Wigan players early on with his hits then I think that will give us an advantage.

He was awesome against hudds, some massive hits.

Just plot Sia's co-ordinates for Sam Tomkins and watch the carnage unfold.

Discipline is key for me. They give away a lot of pens, especially Coley who cant seem to takcle below the neck. If we keep ours it could give us a big advantage territorialy. Getting under Joel Tompkins skin will help too given he seems to be easily put off his game.



It'll be interesting to see our team, I dont like Meli at centre, defending there is difficult and he gets caught in no mans land a lot. If hes on the wing they will kick to him everytime so i guess you have to decide which is the lesser of the two evils.

Dry pitch, Likely Wigan Win

Wet Pitch, Likely Saints Win



Our pack is no match for yours, but your backs are no match for ours

That about sums it up!

I don't think its that simplistic. For me, Wigan are the best example of a TEAM that I've seen this year. They're not winning big games because of players, but because of the way they are drilled. The way the dominate at the PTB and time everything just right, combined with that intense defensive effort, the smooth way in which they move the ball round the park - things just seem to click easier for them than other teams.



That said, I echo Dux's sentiments that Leeds didn't have a lot of options when trying to break them down. They didn't have McGuire's magic and unlike two weeks ago, Wigan manganed to shut down Eastwood, those two points meant Leeds had very little to offer in attack(apart from a mammoth effort from Kylie Leuluei!).



If Saints are going to win, its going to be a smash down the middle going forward and very focussed defence in the 3/4s.

Leon?



massive gamble if true - but would be a massive boost to everyone at the club.
