I'm not putting Saints above Wigan on this seasons form - Wigan are above Saints in the table and rightly so

But I am putting Saints as more likely to win at Old Trafford in October though... not by much but I would say Saints are slight favourites

Wigan playing well?

They’ve not even got out of third gear yet this season if you listen to some loyal 18 fans.

Personally I think that Wigan look the best team this season and will be interesting to see if they can keep it going for a full season. What Michael Maguire has done to Wigan is what Tony Smith did to Leeds in 2004. Wigan were already one of the best teams in England before Maguire took over and he only needed to make a few small changes to make them the best that their currently are.

Perhaps one thing a lot of people seem to forget about Leeds is the fact that people always lift their game to play the champions. This year teams are lifting it more than ever and that’s evident thanks to the early season losses!

Your actually spot on there damo. We have not hit full form yet and we have injuries. We now have a few easier games on paper so hopefully we can be going into the murrayfield game with an 8 game winning streak. Maguire has made all the small changes and its paying off, but we still havn't seeen the best from this wigan team.

I agree with Saddened, there's not an awful lot in it at all.
Wigan have been great but I'd still back Saints this year before them thus far.

Coming out with absolute dribble

Your posts are so bitter it's funny

We owned you men on friday and blew wakey off the pitch today joel tomkins is imo the best second rower in sl atm and it's not even close, we have got the depth in the squad to cover injurys (which atm we might have around 5)

Fair enough we are only 9 games in but i really think we will be top come end of the season

Wigan are in absolutely stunning form and have shown glimpses of top form. However I think all the talk of not getting out of 3rd gear is absolutely nonsense.

But I have to agree that the best is yet to come from Wigan rather than the best behind you.

Your first few games of the year were the best so far IMO

As a Wigan fan, I think you should reign in the rhetoric here. We did not own Saints on Friday, but it was a very very good win and well over due

As for blowing away Wakey, well Hudds did that and they got turned over by Salford today

Wigan should be very happy with the first third to the season but there is a long way to go and there are some great teams in this competition who could beat Wigan on any given day (one of them is even outside of the top eight)

I love this.

His trolleys are absolutely filled with the fear of a successful Wigan team, takes him back to those horrible horrible times.

The only reason saints scored was cause we was down to 12 men they didn't even look like scoring and the ammount of possesion they had in the second half really showed how far we have come as a team

There is imo a big diffrence between us and hudd they are a very good side dont get me wrong but there consistency is stopping them from being a real threat league position wise

HA get real!

Leeds are a match for wigan. All things being equal. I daresay with more players and a bit of form leeds could have beaten wigan a few weeks ago.

Certainly if roles were reversed and an injury ravaged, our of form wigan went to headingly against an on form leeds, there would have been quite abit more than 20 points in the final scoreline.

Do you win the title for coming top?

It was said wigan were well ahead, saddened disagreed and you mocked him.

So wigan already have the title wrapped up huh?

Or was saddened right, and they aren't well ahead of everyone.

Your tries were hardly wonderful efforts either. A flukey opening try and a barge over (similar to ours).

Get a grip.

Saints didn't look like scoring? How many times were they held up over the line?

It was only tremendous last ditch defence which stopped them.

Taking into account your lucky try, on another day saints could have won that game with something to spare.

Keep deluding yourself you're ''well ahead'' you'll just be in for a shock come the playoffs. A few leeds fans were in 2004.
