Greg Eden could be playing against us. I'm not sure they're taking this one seriously! Haha

[BriH]

Going to have our work cut out against that lot!!

[cpwigan]

Ben Hunt missing is good from our POV. James Roberts IIRC is related to Amos and was killing the NRL last season.

James Roberts is also Greg Inglis's cousin. If it's a dry track as much as it pains me to say it Wigan will get snottered. The back line of the Bronx is just speed with Boyd at full back then you have Roberts and Kahu in the centres with Oates and probably Eden or mzybe Maranta on the wings. The milf at 5/8 and Nikorima who is a capable understudy to Benny Hunt, if it had been Milf and Hunt they'd have run rings round Wigan.The forwards will probably start with the "fro bros" in Thaiday and Blair as Josh Mcguire is only just coming back after injury ruined the last half of last season, Glenn and Gillett with Corey Parker who is getting better with age at loose forward. That's a big pack ut they have trained for speed instead of size this year with the interchange reduction and stop clock coming into use.

Can't wait for the game now knowing a milf is playing.
