| It's a massive game. It seems such a long time since we were competing at this level.
I have to say that I am a bit worried. I think we'll do ok in the forwards but let's face it we don't have the backline we did back in the days when Wigan could take on Aussie sides on even terms, especially with Finch and Richards out and a question mark over whether Roberts is really anywhere near back to his best.
Lapses in concentration and intensity will be ruthlessly punished by St George.
Finally, on the reception they will get, I am sure they will get the usual "warm" reception that any team of "Saints" gets when they run out onto the field at Wigan.... |

There wasn't even one - I was there.
Anyway you're right - not the time to be wasting thought on those guys. |

Well seeing as it won Man Utd the league I would say it probably did register on their radar which is why there were about 2k Utd fans outside the ground.
It is without doubt the biggest RL game and I can't wait, but I reckon the Utd game was watched by a few million more people than Sundays will be. |

When Maurice sold me to Leeds something changed, it just not the same, the passion inside me just wasn’t the same as running out at Central park for my hometown club.
We need a change of culture here; we don’t want to be just happy with playing ok on Saturday at St Helens.
Ill make sure that from now on things will change, that players will be under pressure and will train a lot harder than they have before.

Because it was a ludicrous statement?
Be like saying the game last week was bigger than the 2004 cup final. |

Agreed. Where in my original post did I even mention the football?
Let me get this straight I do not wish for this thread to be derailed into a Latics/Wigan RL debate, as I said before this is our biggest game in the town for 24 years!!! |

Sorry pal but that covers all games played since August 1st 1999 when Latics drew 0-0 with Morecambe.
