Saints 10 Goons 48 , goons to give us a towelling.

First try : Pikey
MoM : Matty Smith because he'll be able to play with a dinner jacket on

Saints MoM: The fans because we deserve it for sitting through the bilge we've been served up this year.

Saints 12 Wigan 54

A bit closer 22-36.

Smith eh, another player not good enough for us. (Sigh)

I could play at 7 for Wigan against saints and win MoM - he will look as good as Alfie Langer if we play like we have been doing recently.

Saints 20 v 12 Wigan

MOM: Jonny Lomax

Saints: not many; Wigan: a lot

So do you think we have got someone better than Smith at HB at the moment?

Hard to be positive about this one, but we didn't do too terrible last game against them, ill settle for any respectable score line

I think the game that Wigan play will depend a lot on the Giants result on Sunday. If the Giants lose then Wigan would still be top and with their Semi only 5 days later then Wigan may well not play at full pelt.

I'm going for (& I am serious) Saints by 6

We've been lucky on a couple of occasions recently not to concede a mammoth scoreline against Wigan, either through them uncharacteristically blowing a number of chances or through things like sendings-off intervening in the momentum of the game. I worry that one day soon they'll really click in one of the derbies and give us a right kicking.

The way we're surrendering possession, giving away penalties and persistently failing to number up in defence, this could be that derby. Hopefully we'll show a bit of backbone and make a game of it, though.

No but my point stands.

Wigan will come out all guns blazing as they do, we'll mount a semi comeback at around 50 minutes but won't be enough, as usual.

Goons by 20 at least. Could be a real hiding on Monday.

I'm dreading it.

Hemmings screams SAM SAM SAM. Carney and the chuckle brothers scream SAM SAM SAM then Saints edge the game 26 points to 22 points and SAM sticks two fingers up at the Saints fans but the sky crew say he was provoked by those awful Saints fans. I have not written this game off.
