I'm pretty sure Wigan went to Headingley last season with an almost full strength team and got whooped by 20+ pts?

Yep, And the year before we went there missing 3 of our best players, Had Mathers at Full Back and played a full strength Leeds team And Beat them! Your point is?

I'm sure a full strength Saints team have lost by 20 points before and still won things? I'm sure a full strength Saints team have won by 20 points to an under strength opposing team before and still won things?

I'm not sure where this is going TBH? We beat Leeds by 20 points (Bookies were still only giving them 6-8 points, Made a nice little earner on that BTW ) and are 7 wins from our 1st 8.
That'll do for me!

If you look at wigans team, man for man, they are no better than the likes of Hull KR.

It speaks volumes about the coaching staff

Let's have a look at Leeds last night and see if the same happened to Wigan how it would look.
Five Internationals in the backs played, with a winger and centre missing.

If that was Wigan we would bring in Ainscough and put Goulding to centre.
Leeds had two props missing.
Wigan could start with O'Carroll and Prescott and still have Feka on the bench.
Leeds had Eastwood, Sinfield and Ablett missing.
Wigan could have Hansen, Bailey and O'Loughin out, and still have Mossop, Joel Tomkins and Liam Farrell.

Peacock & Sinfield may forensically be described as "a prop" and "a loose forward", but we all know both bring more to the table than merely filled jerseys. Unlike Feka, who can barely fit in one.

You and he could fit in last years jersey.

Although Cunningham would struggle.

Same place he has been for the last three weeks.
Dropped to the reserves.

However because of the injuries last night he didn't play in the reserves today, so he MAY be back in the squad for Good Friday
