played hull kr on saturday and won 20-18
think we will be going into this game very rusty and under prepared..
but who cares anymore, we won the league and been told it doesnt matter so will just warm the lads up for the play offs now.
still looking forward to the game though will be there, enjoy our visits we have a great recent record'"
Same as Wigan then. Reserve friendly at Leigh with a first team friendly against Saints. We had a game called off in between.
No excuses for either side then. |

Interesting that Powell has been picked ahead of Tomkins. I've always rated Powell more, but I do get the feeling that Logan will get better with age and experience.

I reckon they're grooming him for the 6 shirt next season. |

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

I'd be a bit wary of playing Farrell and Bateman together, particularly at this time of the year when the grounds are heavy. It may leave us a bit lightweight in the pack. When the grounds firm up may be a better time to do it.

think wigan will be ahead in terms of preparation/fitness as you have one of your biggest matches coming up in the WCC. |

Overall are we confident of two points Friday then ? Will we have too much of a focus on the WCC ?

I think/hope we'll be using this as a rehearsal for the WCC with it being a couple of weeks off |

I'd go along with this. Hudds have no reason to be at their best whereas we certainly do. |

The Wigan players will certainly be going all out ahead of the WCC but Huddersfield are the sort if team that love to spoil a party. They nailed an expectant Saints team last year on the opening night and are hard to handle in the early rounds due to their size.
A very close match in store.

Ah, good taste!
What a dreadful thing!

Hopefully we can just edge this tonight.
last year we had a new set of halves and for some reason lacked energy.
this season the spine is pretty much still there (6,7,9,13) and they are playing for their WCC places, which I think will just give us the edge.
it'll be close though.

Can't wait. Think it will be no more than a try each way. What kind of crowd do you reckon?
