Well in my game of "Top Trumps" with Phuzzy about injuries I think we have just gone ahead in the excuses.... Saints have a members open day training session today and Clark is in a boot. 4-5 weeks out apparently

Now that's 1/8 first choice spine players playing from both sides!

Big miss for you Stu but Burns has looked good on his short appearances so far. I suppose the question is how he'll go if he's doing the full 80.

In top trumps I'll raise you Doris the tea lady who burned her finger on the kettle at lunchtime today. Advantage Saints

Both clubs are constantly telling us about how good their youth systems are, let's just get on with it and see what foundations there are to such claims. It's Wigan v Saints, both clubs have had success with a greater number of injuries. Roll on Saturday, we might actually get more attacking rugby out of both teams

Percival gone now too for 4-6 weeks

So that's

Welsby
Lomax
Dodd
Clark
Knowles (complete first choice spine)

Percival
Hurrell
Wingfield

Apparently Matautia and Delaney trained today but who knows if they will play

There is no way on Gods earth we are favourites on Saturday and that will be reflected with the handicaps when the bookies make them

I'm in Dusseldorf for the weekend so getting my excuses in early

You've still got the advantage in the tea ladies though Stu and you know the old adage: Props win pots, Tea ladies win (tea)pots...

Why did Wellens say his halves only had one training session together when they 9 day turn around
