That actually makes me feel better when it's written down because we've played top teams and conceded=

Huddersfield- 20 points

Leeds- 6 points

Catalans- 12 points

Warrington- 22 points

When I look at it like that it's quite obviously an attitude issue rather then a technical one and our attitude will be spot on at Saints. We will always be in games where we concede fewer then 22 points or so because our attack is very good.

We dont seem to have the same intensity and pride in defending our own line under Wane as we did with Maguire, we have the players, whether it is an attitude issue is up for debate, but there's definately something "missing" with us this season.

So what if Gaz makes a few errors? If he doesn't try his passes (btw his work for Sam's first try was brilliant) then nobody will. We have to accept that Gaz will make mistakes but what he does give us is a player who is capable of winning a match
As for Wane, I think he needs to learn when its appropriate to grind it out in the forwards and do less of the brilliant skills he keeps talking about. Tbh I thought with Wane as coach our defence would be superb, but its got significantly worse. We'll find out a lot about Wane and our chances of silverware on Friday. If w can stave of the inevitable fast start from Saints, I think we'll be ok but I can just as easily see us slipping 12/18-0 down and being out of it, just like the Noble days!

I am more than happy to go into the good Friday derby as underdogs.

We'll be reet. Neither side will be blown away and call it optimism if you will, but I've got a feeling we'll beat Saints.

I agree, but not I'm not overly worried by it because a quick glance at other teams records shows that there defence isn't sparkling either?



Yet conceded far less against the Top teams???

Good point about the 10 subs rule Juke.

Well we've had a bit of an up and down start to the year. But now it's time for the match we've been waiting nearly 2 years for.

Wigan won the last ever game at KR. It is beyond imagination to let them win the first one at Langtree park as well. I still think it was a mistake to pass over the chance to play Wigan at KR in the playoffs, I thought it would be better to try and handle Wigan on our own patch one last time than meeting you in the GF.

I think form goes out the window for this game. When we were riding high some years back now, and Wigan were pushing out kids for the derby they still managed to over turn us. I thought with or without Simmons, this is a stand alone game and it will not tell either team much about the season.

We do seem to be playing well against the top teams and keeping their points down. I think we will score plenty next friday. Defence will be the key.

Didn't go to Bradford in 2009 then. Good God that was boring.

It doesn't really matter how well saints come out of the traps, if wigan have a completion rate of 0% after 25/30 minutes on friday like wire did against them then they will be in trouble and it won't be down to the alleged brilliance of saints.

Sense at last. Both Wire and Leeds gifted Sts the game. Sts didn't do anything special, apart from making very few errors, SW take note. If we play anything like we are capable of, we'll beat them by 15 points minimum. The only player they've got whose better than our corresponding player is Roby. In every other position, we are better than them.

YOU FOOLS.... Saints are the best team in the league, we should just not bother turning up.... We are all doomed!!!!! Doomed!!!

League form out of the window... Will be filled with mistakes passion and penalties... Can't wait...
