I hope for draw.

YEAR OF WOLF !

Love it.

Wigan 24 Saints 12

Well, we've won matches. In reality, though, our 'form' has been patchy. We finally managed to play well for a full 80 minutes against Wakey (ie we didn't drop ball, miss tackles or switch off). Hopefully that will continue.

James Graham was badly hit in the sternum. He never stays off the pitch but he did on Friday. He's having a scan this week and a decision will no doubt be made after that. Unlikely Perry will be back (groin injury), Meli maybe (hamstring), no Flannery (hamstring), no Gaskell (ankle strain/break, not sure yet), Clough maybe (shoulder), no Magennis (dislocated finger), no Leon (out for at least five more weeks) and Kyle is doing well in the u20s.

I'm fairly sure you can beat us with that injury list! Form or no form!

Not that I want you to, obviously.

im not confident at all for friday we simply dont perform at home! lets hope we get our act together and get a result against the stains.

It's a derby - form goes out of the window. Too close to call for this game - just what a good derby should be like. Can't wait.

If we get a couple of bodies back then I agree with you. But if all eight are out then I think we'll be too thin on the ground, especially up front, to be too big a challenge. Unless Wigan are seriously off form. But I hope I am shown to be totally and utterly wrong! Obviously!


Same here, but with the usual nervous tension that always makes watching derby games a conflict of excitement and anxiety!

Remember 2003 and 2004?

Exactly. Both teams have shown quality in patches but it depends who shows it on Friday. One bounce will decide it imo. My nerves are jangling just thinking about the game

All this talk about "our form"! Cobblers, Wigan to win by 8, end of! Do we honestly expect that the guys will switch off knowing that MM is going -no way! Do we honestly think that MM, Wane and Radders will not have them fired up for this? Of course they will! This is a potentially pivotal moment in our season.
