| Despite all that's been said about the title not being won until October, on the basis of the weekend's games so far, Wigan have been the most impressive side in terms of improvement over last year.
They will be very strong title contenders come play-off time & we need to up our game considerably if we are to be champions again.
McGuire has instigated a massive improvement in what is basically the same team that Noble had.
As expected Warrington under Smith have also become a better side, as I think we all thought they would be.

| Agreed.
That said, I still have nagging doubts. McGuire has flogged them to get them into shape. How will they hold up in a few months time?

| One of my other thoughts on today's game was do Saints arrange it so that all the ugliest women in the ground sit or stand at the front in full view of the TV cameras?
I hope they get that sorted before they move to Tesco Towers.
I'm just glad that I've not yet invested in HDTV.

No they arrange it so the best looking women in the ground sit in front of the cameras.

| Wigan look certs for a grand final appearence, barring a collapse in consistency.
They've made the eliminator the past 3 seasons despite being inconsistent in the regular season, so you have to think under the new coach they'll go one step further.
It's going to be tough for us to claw our way back into contention now, and if we do it'll be tough for us to get that other grand final place alongside wigan (whom will surley make it?).

| I understand that for the crowd shots at Knowsley Road they use George A Romero as director of photography.

| Can't believe how many prophets we have on board at the moment. There is just over a quarter of the season gone, there will be a lot more twists & turns, suspensions, injuries, loss of form, teams game plan sussed out and like G1 metioned possible burn outs, not to mention the up coming cup distractions. There is a long way to go yet.

Actually though, history shows that in fact aren't that many ''twists and turns'' from this point on. Weeren't there some stats posted which showed finishing positions in previous season don't really alter much from what they are now to the end of the season?
just in the middle cluster of also rans.
Not to mention once we get to the playoffs the grand finalists and winners come from the top most of the time.
