| The last ever derby victory at Knowsley road still belongs to Wigan,coupled with the last ever derby game at Central Park. It was obvious you would have chosen Hudds but you really did have the chance to "right the wrongs" maybe the clubcall should have gone to the whole town.........too late though now

| Saints aim is to win the GF by the easiest way possible, and that is playing the lowest placed team in the league ie Giants. Saints aren't here to make next weekend an occasion, they are here to win trophies, full stop......

Hypothetically speaking, if Wigan had finished below Hudds would you have picked Wigan or still gone for Hudds?

| Saints made correct choice without a shadow of a doubt. Who cares about beating wigan in the last ever game at KR?
All saints have done is give them a better chance of getting to old trafford. We've picked hudds who have just had to very close and hard working games and sent wigan to leeds to knock crap out of each other.

Saints have been consistent. Said all along we would pick the lowest ranking team and we have.

If Wigan had finished below Hudds in the league, then that would have made them the lowest placed team and worst team in the play offs. So yes, i would off picked them.
As I said, you want to get to the final by the easiest way possible.

People will remember who won the Grand Final most, not the last game at KR and certainly not the hubcap.

You get nothing for beating wigan in the last ever derby at KR.
The sole aim for every club at the start of the year is to get to the grand final and give yourself a chance in the grand final.
All the club cares about at this moment is getting to old trafford and with all respect to hudds they are the "EASY GAME".
Some might say your pretty nervous about your trip to leeds.

Let me see, 2010 Grand Final Winners or 2010 derby winners....let me think about this now............isn't it all the pies who keep telling us we got nothing for beating them 75-0 in a derby match, but they won the Challenge Cup for beating us 27-0 at Wembley.
Same applies here, we get nothing for beating them in the last derby match, but we get to be GF winners by winning at Old Trafford, and the easiest way to do that is by playing Hudds in the semi, and letting Wigan and Leeds hammer hell out of each other.

No doubt it'll be a real ding dong battle between us and Leeds but Saints certainly aren't going to have it all their own way against Huddersfield, that game could be just as draining for the winner as the Leeds - Wigan game.
As a Wigan fan I'm thankful for two things, first were not at home, and second we've not had a weeks rest. You find that a lot sides after a weeks rest lose their rhythm and coordination in attack and defense.

The rest depends on the team, last week tony smith said he was glad that wolves didn't have the rest but after watching last nights game, i'd say they looked in need of the weeks rest.
Saints will defo not have it all there own way but why on earth would saints pick the best team in super league, with the best coach in super league, with the most players in the dream team, the team with two out three players up for man of steel and also the 2nd best coach in the league in wane - that's the point of all wigan fans this year.
So really lets be honest, it wasn't a hard choice.
Also the add the fact hudds have had two tough 80 min games and we've sent you lot to leeds to knock crap out of each other.
