Micky mac instead of Ackers is obsurd..
Bachelor is way ahead of some of those other guys so maybe a niggle for him


Who is Batchelor way ahead of? Certainly not Radley, Whitehead and Knowles.

Wane may play Knowles at second row to get him and Radley in the team.

Can't see that. I think it is more likely that Knowles will start on the bench and will come on as an interchange 9 to spell McIllorum. He's played 9 a few times at Saints.

Radley more likely to be the surprise at #9 for me.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.

For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.

Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row

George Williams to #9 and Welsby to #6? Wane has used Williams as an interchange #9 before.

I can understand Batchelor missing out, I think it'll be a close game and Batchelor is in the top two for both missed tackles and penalties conceded. Also he isn't a big metre maker.

I don't disagree (even though he didn't get in the dream team) but he's not "way ahead" of any of those 3.

I think styles make fights.

Being the best in SL doesn’t make you an automatic pick.
