Bloody hell rest of us might as well not bother next year.

You never bothered the last few 2 weeks or so, so why would that change

live the dream



It will be interesting though



Fielden v Graham

Lulu v Roby

Coley v Perry

Hoffman v Soliola

Tomkins v Wilkin

Lockers v Flannery



Front row Saints win, back row Wigan win



bench of

Prescott v LMS

Lima v Puletua

Hansen v Clough

Mcilorum v Moore



Now i'd say our bench is better (with a nod to lima for being immense though) and with a fit 17 we have a slightly better pack, but you have much better strength in depth

Aye we seem give up after we win the Cup in August.

Interesting comparison.



Two very strong, evenly matched set of forwards there.

Your front row, for me is the best in the comp.



I think bench is pretty even, lima/puletua cancell each other out I think both hansen and clough would get in either team (not seen a massive amount of clough but like what I have seen).



I know im stating the obvious but its who you dont have next year for me. If you can 'replace' what KC does, you will be ok. Everything lifts when he comes on!



Not sure on moore, thought he was awesome for huds, but doesnt seem to have done as well this year, obviously I dont see him everyweek, so I could well be wrong.

Both Wigan and Saints have recruited very well. Wigan may have an additional signing to announce and later in the season Hock may return which will boost the squad further. Both club's squads have strengthened and both will be younger in 2011 than 2010.



Wire haven't brought players in that are stand outs and their first 17 squad has something like 10 or 11 players over 30 next year. Wire had better start recruiting soon or they will fall behind and very quickly. That's a lot of first teamers to replace in the next 2-4 years.



Leeds have Eastwood going/gone and no one of note coming in. Again their squad is getting older by the season.



I do think the top two next season could well be Wigan and Saints with Wigan just edging it due to their stronger U20s players coming through. Wigan's squad will be massive and quality all the way through!

Moore has had an average year it has to be said, although I'm willing to bet he hasn't had a decent run in any position - he's played 6, 7, 9 & 13 in equal measure this season. If he gets a regular run as Roby's understudy I expect him to improve significantly.

Hows Logan doing??? , I was talking to a saints supporter who went and watched the u20s final at the week end and he said he was impressed with Logan. But i ve never heard any 1 on here say ewt special about him

Thought that may have been a reason, but wasnt sure. Is he more suited to a starting hooker, with roby coming off the bench, or do you think roby will start?

Fair enough. I think there is very little to chose between the two sides.



Although I think this:



Amos Roberts - Paul Wellens

Darrell Goulding - Ade Gardner?/Foster?

Martin Gleeson - Michael Shenton

George Carmont - Jonny Lomax/Wheeler?

Pat Richards - Francis Meli?

Sam Tomkins - Leon Pryce

Brett Finch - Kyle Eastmond



...tells a completely different story.
