Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

In no particular order, the top 5 will be Wigan, St Helens, Warrington, Huddersfield and Leeds unless one of those clubs suffers a major injury crisis. I can't see any other team challenging for a trophy.

I don't think there's a chance of that happening.
We look stronger than in 2010 IMO (a couple of much needed front line props and a pacey centre in, plus hopefully a fit Soliola), when we finished 2nd (and 7 points clear of 5th) despite a lot of injuries. |

I dont think warrington will be that close to us to be honest yes they have sign brett hodgson but he looked old and knackered at the end of last year plus he is 35 and warrington like leeds are an old side. I also think we will only lose 2 or 3 games next year as our strenght in depth is fantastic we could easily put out 2 teams next year and they both would do quiet well. hull kr i think will be better with willie mason if he ever gets here but blake green partnering up with dobson is what they have been short of for a few seasons. saint will have a bad year this yr they have lost some big players and there ground and with eastmond lookin at yawnion and looking abit thin in the back line on bodys.

He's a far better FB than Mathers, if Tony Smith can bring back Hodgson's form of 09 then it will look good for Wire, plus he's a good conversion kicker. Joel the dog lover is another great signing for them, similar winger to Pat, Tall, big build and excellent under the high ball. That coupled with the players they already have will make them better than last season imo. |

Fancy a little charity wager on that, old bean?
I'll give you 4-1 on a £5 stake - if Saints make the 4, you give £5 to my nominated charity, if not, I'll donate £20 to the charity of your choice.
Let me know. |

He's 32, but I take your meaning. I'm sure we'd both agree that a 32 year old Hodgson is a good improvement on Mathers, despite his best efforts.
For what it's worth I think we'll be your biggest threat but wont be close enough to challenge for the league crown. The playoffs however, who knows! |
