The game will be a sell out if Saints sell out their end. Only single seated tickets left in East Stand and a few in the West Stand. South Stand sold out last week!

Only confident because there is no James Roby, struggled to put away Salford at home...

Wigan 28 - 10 St Helens

A lot depends on whether Lomax plays. He was also missing against Salford.

Although I wouldn't take too much from the Salford game, it was terrible conditions and we just seemed to play out the sets without playing any risky passes etc - our completion rate was 86% in the snow!

Either way, I think you will win. It should be very close though!

Even though we beat Wire, I think we let them back into the game too easily and it was our defence that saw out the result. Probably one of the best defensive displays I'll see from us this season.

I will go for: Wigan 22-18 Saints with a full house.

Wigan 21
Saints 20

First try - Thornley
MOM - Green

Attendance - 22,750

Think we could be in for a classic. Wigan win 24-22, 24k on, bloody freezing.

8 wins in our last 10 trips to your place is a record not to be sniffed at.

But I just don't see it becoming 9 wins in the last 11 as I fancy Wigan to win by 10. Hope I'm wrong though.

Wigan 22 Stains 16 attendance depends on the scoucers turning up only about 250 seats left in home stands

What's a 'scoucer'?

oh look, you pointed out a spelling mistake, how cute

I said last season that for the first time in a while Wigan are the better side man for man. If both teams played to their potential then Wigan would win.

This season I think the same tbh but obviously that was before our injury crisis. The young lads have stepped up superbly and players like Faz Flower Micky and Lockers have got even better.

IF Micky and Lockers play and we go with the side we did against Widnes then I'll take Wigan by 16. My only concern is the young lads not handling the occasion but I'm sure they'll be fine.

I predict that Nathan Brown will be showing his players a copy of the Leeds/Wigan game and encouraging his forwards to be really dominant from the start of the game, they need to be fired up and I think they will be.

Despite the half-back combination problems for St.Helens they really need to lay some kind of platform for whoever is at 6+7 for them because in previous games their forwards have been controlled well by Wigan.

I think we are going to see a very different Saints side on Friday and Brown will be working on how losing Roby can work to his advantage because Wigan have closed him down very well in recent years.

Wigan by 2.
