Rugby League: McCarthy-Scarsbrook predicts tough clash

29Mar 2013

St Helens prop forward Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook is looking forward to his side's clash with arch-rivals Wigan Warriors at the DW Stadium on Good Friday.

A win for St Helens is available at 5/2 with bet365, while Wigan are 3/10 to triumph in the crunch encounter. McCarthy-Scarsbrook said: "We play Wigan quite often these days but I love the derbies. "We are really looking forward to the match. We'll never approach a game believing we can't win, but we know it will be tough. Hopefully it won't be as cold as it has been recently, as I think that'll make it a better game." Saints have made a good start to the new season, taking five victories from their opening eight matches, despite a growing injury list and the absence of several key players, including the in-form Jonny Lomax, who will miss the game against Wigan with a hamstring problem.
