| Winner: Saints probably - we're on a roll and Wire will be starting to have their minds at Wembley. Plus we have the honour of the first win at LP to uphold.
Score: 22-18
Attendance: 15,843
MoM: Roby
1st try: Wellens

| Quote: Northampton_Saint " we're on a roll '" Are we? I'd say Hudds pretty much rolled over last Sunday and before that we'd been unconvincing for a few weeks, although the Catalan game certainly didn't lack in commitment.
Always the optimist, I'm going for a Saints win.
Saints 22 - Wire 20
Attendance - 17,000
MoM - Lomax
1st Saints Try - Lomax

We may not be playing dazzlingly but we haven't lost in a long, long time now and are winning games even when we're outplayed e.g. Cats. Winning is a tough habit to break

| It all depends on how Warrington approach it. If they realise what a defeat could mean, i.e losing to us and at Wigan where they still need to go could theoretically cost them a top 2 spot. They won't want that. Wembley will be on their minds, but it's 3 weeks away.
If Warrington turn up well prepared and fully focused I don't think we can compete with that. They are as good as Wigan, if not better and we have shown we can't live with Wigan.
We could grind out a win against them, but there just isn't the quality in this Saints side to have genuine confidence in them.

Wire haven't changed much, they're still prone to playing crazy rugby if you frustrate them. Our big men are in good form, which should mean we can get to grips with them up front and go toe-to-toe and set-for-set, hopefully meaning our superior completion record will win out.
If, as you say, Wire up the intensity, we may struggle to contain them, but at the same time their error rate is prone to shooting up.

We play Wigan @ the HJ We beat them at the DW earlier in the Season.

| We all know we are seriously lacking all across the backline compared to Wire and if they play to 100% then we will naturally struggle to contain them. But I think this game might be a little more important to us than it is to them and our forwards are bang in form which I reckon will be just about enough this time. We'll need the hoodoo and a full-on traditional big game Wire brainfreeze come the playoffs however.
...and I've just seen the post on the Wire board where it confirms that they have a 0-7 record playing at new grounds in SL... Time to reestablish the hoodoo...

| Chris Hill has compensated for Morley's lack of form. The man's a wrecking ball. Carvell is having a good season too.
I think that if we click we could run riot, but it'll be tough as you're a good and hard team to break down.
Reckon we might just edge it but for the neutrals it'll be a great game and a great advert for RL.

Wigan 178 - 64 Leeds

I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I am all out of bubblegum.
Don't you struggle. Don't you fight. Don't you worry, cause it's your turn tonight!

| Warrington by 14. Wire's aggression in the pack and quality in the backs will be enough to see Saints off.

3076_1671446335.jpg SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

| A draw please.

47035_1386433761.gif 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 think our pack will get ontop of Wire's, but whether we can hold their backs is 50/50. I don't think they are as hot as they were last year and the CC is on the horizon. I'm going for Saints but a Warrington win would not be a surprise either.

| Saints by 8-10 points.
We are in decent enough form to beat them.
