Hopefully Wello will make some uncharacteristic errors ,like Briscoe on sunday, and no doubt Graham will get a certain amount of abuse as always

Silly statement of the day, i know numerous stains fans, and also reading on here, keeping the run means as much to you as losing it does to us, and why wouldn't it, its a great record to have.

I think a lot of Saints fans, myself included, exhaled once Keiron had stamped his foot in your face again and thanked the lord you'd failed to win at KR. Beating you at Widnes really isn't that much different to a normal game.

Sure extending the run is a mildly amusing diversion but it's not a big issue.

Sure, there are fans who like to inflate their ego over such matters. However, in terms of 'the run' being of more importance to the coach than risking his best players for the rest of the season, it means diddly squat.

Saints fans celebrating each victory against us as if they have just won the Grand Final would suggest otherwise!

Lets Remain boyd by the fact that it is only a couple of players thats a doubt for them,several seasons ago names like long,cunningham,scully and Jamie Lyon would of been on that list,all danger men in their own right even though we never admitted it.!!!

If Wellens doesn't make it and Briers brings his kicking game, it will be interesting to see how Foster (who i assume would play FB) will cope. Seems very sturdy player on the wing but how will he do covering the whole pitch

Last time out Jonny Lomax played fullback rather than Foster, though I prefer Foster myself as he is better positionally than Lomax. So either could be covering for Wello if he isn't playing. If Simmons goes with the same team as last week, then Foster will play on the wing, Meli as centre and Lomax covering FB. Gaskell was playing at 6. I hope he gets another run there as he is looking promising.

The last couple of years have been very amusing for us.

Choke....choke..

and please don't embarass yourself and start harping on about history. You'll sound desperate like the Wigan fans did when you used to win trophies.

Its gonna be a tough game with saints 19 line up, something special is gunna have to happen if they play like sunday

Even though we usually lose i've usually felt confident going in to the game, this time i feel decidedly flat and have a sneaking suspicion we are going to get beat quite easily and Roby will torment us to death.

I don't understand your post?!

The two players are joint Captains and easily two of the three best players at the club. They've been included in a squad to play the double challenge cup winners and team that only narrowly finished 3rd behind them in the league, and fellow title contenders and you say 'Surprise Surprise'?

Eh?!

Still, I'm sure you're right... Saints must REALLY want to win this match!!!! (As opposed to the 26 other matches which they're really not that bothered about winning!)

I don't think you know your players very well. Trust me, beating Warrington means ALOT to the saints players. There are many examples of them playing against us carrying injuries that would have kept them out of other games.

Yes it does, note the badge kissing and over-enthusiastic celebrations from the Skints players. This is always a BIG match for them.

Will be the last time for Graham as a home fixture as well before he joins us for 2012.
