Who knows what will happen, but we looked worse last year. We were in a right mess after the Wire & Quins 'home' games but came good in the end.

I still think Royce is finding his best side which has led to lots of rotation and errors from the side.

Last few games we have looked pretty good yeh but im not reading too much into wins against Bradford and Castleford. Lets see how we do sunday against a good side, aslong as were top 4 at the end of the year weve got a chance of winning it. Wire will walk the hub cap.

Indeed. We did well in the first half because we starved Catalans of possession and severely limited their time in our half. It was good, but it served to mask our deficiencies when it comes to defending our line. Pretty much every time Catalans started a set in our half it was a guaranteed try, and this has been the case in all the games so far. It reminds me a little of England's defence in the world cup.

Sort that out and the rest will follow.

Lets get my original post into perspective here.

SaintsFan and Northampton Saint in particular.

I am probably one of the least fickle saints fans you will ever meet, and we look as though we have gone backwards from last season, even the early season form is worse than last years.

I was pointing out that Wigan look better than last year and are streets ahead of us at the moment, we need to up our game to match them but unfortunately i'm not sure if we have it in us this year. Losing KC and Jammer in the past 2 season has really hit this team.

Get a reality check guys !!

Its only four weeks since the Wigan boards were suicidal because they lost with virtually a full strength team to that set of 'minnows' from Huddersfield with nine regulars out and were asking for 'Boo' to be put back to stand off !! and questioning whether they should keep Wane !!!!

Since then they beat Leeds fair enough but also Bradford and Castleford and put them away as a Wigan team on a roll always will..... but to be fair us 'minnows ' would expect to win at Bradford and Castleford this season !! as surely would Saints !! Yes decent side Wigan but so are we and so are Saints I wouldn't expect wigan to put significant points on either of us on our own 'middin' and if we get our full side out i would expect to beat them at home !!
