Success is not final; failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. (Winston Churchill):d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_40218.jpg

Me too.

Quote: saint at wire "I'm not surprised though given Browns's comments on the web that its just a "2 point game" like any other'"

I heard that too. I hope that is just another example of his BS because I would like to think he has a greater appreciation of what this match means to the fans than that comment indicates. He isn't in Huddersfield now.

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif



I'm honestly not sure what we can read into this 19, given the changes that happened last week from outside the 19.

I've been saying Wello at LF, but could he even make an appearance in the halves?

I mentioned that to a friend the other day, but could you imagine a half back combo of Wilkin and Wellens? icon_lol.gif

It's hardly the dynamic duo.

Over on Redvee, one of the posters is saying that 'Lomax will definitely not play'.

[color=#FF0000:3s5hr9kj]Have you noticed, you can never find a radical priest when you need one.[/color:3s5hr9kj]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_63644.jpg



Quote: Don Brennan "Hmmm taking that at face value were screwed.
No standoff and no hooker is way too much of a handicap.
For me our only hope Is that no Lomax is a bluff. Wello has a blinder at hooker(ashe aint up to it)and Charnock can hold his own In the halves.'"



Hoping Lomax is a bluff! I would call that a little shady if it was, even if we did it. Put him in and then take him out if he’s not right, but just to bluff in that way is a bit much. Looking at some post here some seem very pessimistic about Friday, I don’t know why, after all it’s a Derby and we have more than our share of wounded too. I know it would be silly not to be honest about what we think about the result, but I don’t feel super confident myself, and I’m sure there’ll be a few thousand of you-men down here on Friday getting behind whoever you put out.

It's just a bit disheartening when your best attacking weapon will miss such a big game.

If Tomkins was missing from Wigan you would also find a lot of pessimistic views from your lot - not saying Lomax is as good as Tomkins btw.

[quote='Fishsta"']I've always thought of McGuire as a good player, and I wouldn't normally wish injury on any player, but there was a certain hint of poetic justice to that. [/quote] Another classic: [quote='Fishsta']You forgot to take off the "Saints Reduction Factor" when calculating the ban. Standard suspension / Saints Reduction Factor = Actual ban for Saints player. Therefore (2 / 3) = 0.666 0.666 < 1 therefore actual ban equals "less than 1 match". Therefore ZERO.[/quote] Give the girl her dummy back.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_18821.jpg

Call it what you like I hope Its a bluff. Sure your men did something similar In the derby a few years ago.

I think the negative views are more down to our approach to the Good Friday encounter since we left KR.

It seams that all our coaches and players too are treating it like, just another game. Which saddens me and means that we can never match Wigan. Sport is about a lot of things but enthusiasm can make a lot of difference, if we are not bothered to up the ante for a Derby then Wigan will continue to walk this fixture as Wane will never treat it as just another fixture.

Like I say sad really.

That squad is depressing, no hooker, actual halfbacks, will we score any tries?
That said Wigan won't know what to expect either so you never know ......

Except when you do icon_sad.gif

Exactly, it's a derby so anything can happen, but Wigan must be favourites

If that 19 is true then I suspect we'll get nilled.
