| The week off to prepare will have done you guys the world of good, anyone who is anyone knew Saint would play Wigan, i bet Royce was preparing the guys for a match v Wigan too.
He's studied them enough now to know how to beat them.
Personally the tactic you need to use (i think anyway) is just pure full on intensity, if Wigan try to go toe to toe with you they will drop off around the 50-60 minute mark, i think Saints will win this game in the last quarter when the energy levels start to show.

You hope. Dont expect Stains to do your dirty work, they will come up short and so will you.

It sounds like your the hopeful one. Wire will breeze past Leeds and we have a derby game. Gotta say though in this instance I'm happy to be doing their dirty work if it means we muller you lot.

By 6pm on Saturday though it will be a totally different Ball game!

| I dont get the wigan fans who are writing us off just a week after getting beaten, and i dont get some of our fans who are overly confident after being hammered by wigan earlier in the season. I'll be very surprised if this isnt a very tight game, probably won by luck more than anything else

Fixed ... do we know who the ref is yet? and more importantly is it Ian Smith for VR because if it is we've lost already

they dont work at all in my opinion the play offs.
Although I dont agree with the format as it is, warrington should have been able to pick any of the teams including saints,
would have still been the same outcome though.
Both games could go either way so for once we have 4 teams genuinly in contention

| Our pack man for man is stronger, this is where we win the game. Royce will have our players right in there faces to cut down there options, this tactic the catalans failed to do.
Vomkins looks suspect under a high ball, and some big hits on him will reduce his energy levels.
I should imagine our backs are looking forward to this game especially if our pack put them on the front foot.
I expect exactly the same type of game of last week with the same scoreline, it would be fitting also if Royce pre match mentions head tackles and slowing down tactics to try and get a fast flowing game.

| Think I'll be coming along to this game. Should be a good 'un! Will be with Wigan fans that I know, but I'm hoping you'll beat them.
Not sure what the outcome will be. Many are backing you guys to win pretty comprehensively, but I think it'll be very close indeed. Derby games are always difficult to call.

Did you watch our game on Sunday?
I have never seen Catalan pack smashed like they was it was full on ownage
The way i'm looking at it last week we was very poor and Saints was good best i've seen them play this season and we lost by 6 points i feel quite confident that we will win on Saturday
This post might come back and bite me on the ass

It was one of our ebst perforamcnes of the season but we still managed to bomb at least 2/3 try scoring opportunities. If our pack smashes Wigan's again then I fancy us but I don't think Wigan's pack will be as poor this week and I literally can't call it.

I said to the father in law who is a Saints fan before the game 2 weeks ago they only way you will win if you stop us getting a roll on in the first 20 and tbh a under 9's side could have we was nothing short of shocking
Like you have said we wont be as bad on Saturday and i will stick with what i thought 2 weeks ago early on in the season when we played you at your ground you could stop that roll on we got and the scoreline said it i still think that was our best performance this year and hope we can get back to that form
Saints are hitting some form now we shall see on Saturday if the week off hurt you or helped is it right you played Leigh academy at the weekend?
It will be a good game and i will be supporting the winner next week cause i cant stand either wire or the whinoes
