| They beat us by 20 in 2009 and they weren't even that good then.
I don't think they'll smash everyone all season but at this early stage they will make their new found dominance count.

Well, he's playing so I would guess not.'"

We're down to 3 props, Clough is clearly a prop and a damn good one too. We're stronger at prop than we were last season already, even without Perry. Wigan will probably be missing Fielden too.

Forgot about Murrayfield, with our players spending the build up saying how much they didn't want to play there (we beat them the other 3 times we played in 2009); I doubt we'll be taking that attitude into the game again.

Fair enough, don't agree, but fair enough.

Purtill says Kyle and Leon are playing (yes it could be smoke and mirrors) but as for props, i count Jammer, LMS, Tony P and almost certainly Cloughy as well, all in all non too shabby.
Wigan definitely have Finch out, Deacon will really struggle to do 80 minutes and Sam tomkins i'd guess will be at full back leaving their halves missing alot. I very much doubt mr gleeson will be playing for them either.

| The only definite's out for us are Finch, Pat, Fielden and O'Carrol. Everyone else including Gleeson and Hansen are up for selection. Normally I think we'd allow the latter two more time off, but seeing as we've got the WCC coming up I'm sure Maguire will wan't to make sure everyone get's some game time under their belt before that match.

I forgot about Richards and Fielden as well!, In theory we are in much better shape than Wigan going into this match

No, worries are lack of minutes for Leon and Kyle, other than that - full squad.

On paper, although I don't think any of us trust the fitness of Kyle or Wheeler even when they're named. Also, Leon's coming back from surgery on his neck, so I think we're all a little nervous about how they shape up.

| First match of the season is always a weird one to call. I wouldn't really be surprised by any result.
I am in total agreement with Fear The Vee about the mythical status Wigan seem to have assumed over the off-season. They were the best side last year, and they beat us soundly in the Grand Final, but invincible there were certainly not (in fact, they lost 3 out of their last 10 games last year, 2 of those at home). They've improved on paper, but so have other teams. They're the team to beat at the moment, but there's no reason why either Saints, Warrington, Leeds and possibly even Hudds couldn't do that.
Personally, I'm just looking forward to seeing Saints running out with four good props, two half backs and two centres.
