After suffering 3 months of gloating and pee taking off the Aussies during the recent Ashes series, who really wants some more?



Well me actually. As a Saints fan there's no way could I cheer for our friends from Greater Manchester. Ever. It goes against my DNA.



However, if they do repeat their 1994 win Down Under, I will, begrudgingly, congratulate them.

Wigan r gonna get annihilated thru the middle. Go S Moa and Hargreaves!

Hopefully

C'mon Roosters smash the cr'p out of the goons, thinking 14 point margin if I'm being honest.

Rugby League needs a competitive game.

Well either Wigan play out of their skins or the Roosters are directed to take the foot of the gas.

On Paper how many Wigan players would make the Roosters squad?

A few I think. Charnley, Taylor, McCollurm, Bateman and O'loughlin would be names that sprang to mind although I haven't seen a massive amount of them recently.

Fingers crossed Wigan put up a good show and possibly win it for English Rugby League

Some of those players would struggle to get an NRL contract never mind with the Premiers.

Micky Mac do you really think he is any good against quality opposition.

Charnley.... Roger Tuavasa Shek..... Ill take Roger.



We shall see, I hope O'Loughlin gets on the field he has a habit of missing big games like these, he is catching up with Keiron Cunningham for the nickname of "sick note" or no show.

19 Tests in 10 years.

I think he's a better hooker than Mortimer and I think Charnley is a better winger than SKD or Tupou.



Roosters have 2 genuine world class players, SBW and Cordner, but O'Loughlin is better than FPN, Guerra and Aubusson.



Theres some really good players in SL, if you watched without green and gold tinted glasses on you'd realise it.

Well I do watch some Super League and i agree there are some good players but the intensity is on another level, Half of the games are walkovers, a few are contests and a few more are real arm wrestles.

That is the big difference.

You can easily look like a champion when you are carving up Paddock teams that have no defensive structures or even basic technique

Minichiello looked pretty good last year and again for Italy.

You don't rate JWH? he was considered one of the best Forwards in the World last year

Michael Jennings an Australian Test Centre.

Dylan Napa will be the next big thing at Prop.

We shall see.

The Roosters will likely play two wingers rather than just one (some cutting edge RL tactics for you there) so they could play both Charnley and Tuivasa-sheck.



So you may not take Charnley over Tuivasa-Sheck but id definitely take him over someone like Tupou.



Similarly MciLorum is a decent (if a little over-rated by some)hooker, you can debate if you want that you would take Friend over MciLorum, but if you took L’estrange over McIlorum you would be nuts.



And yeah, Cordner, Frank-Paul, JW-H SBW, are quality forwards, Aubusson, Moa, Guerra meh!
