I think we should be going to Saints with a fair amount of confidence.
They are unlikely to steamroller our pack (especially if Mossop plays, he normally gets the better of the Saints pack).
Saints will be desperate to win the first derby at the Trailer Park. Too desperate IMO. The fear of losing the first derby, having lost the last one at KR will be a little too much pressure for the Scousers.
That and the harder game they've had this weekend makes us very narrow favourites for this one. I expect it to be close and reasonably high-scoring, but as it's a derby, anything can happen.
And one thing we can agree on with our pals from Merseyside - this is THE derby of British RL. Saints' resurgence has added an extra dimension to what was always going to be a massive and historic game. What a prospect we have in store on Friday. The atmosphere will be electric. I just hope the roof stays on...
I can't wait to see whether Wigan's historic success at KR is going to continue in the TP era.
