He's been very good this. I think having Blake Green out for a long period helped Matty mature and grow as a player.

Surprised he's not nominated for man of Steel tbh

I hate Wigan (the team, I like the place) so much. That old arrogance is back that I had to grow up with in the late 80's.

You're rightfully favourites because of our injuries, but you don't win games on paper. And yes, I've seen Wigan teams that have been injury ravaged and full of youngsters, rip full strength Saints teams to bits. We turned you over in your own backyard without Walsh not long back. To write off our team and say Roby is our only threat is foolish.

It's a derby game & anything can happen. One thing is for sure though, there will be some good banter and no trouble and we'll put the football lot to shame.

One person has said that so I wouldn't use it as the general feeling throughout the Wigan fan base. There certainly isn't an arrogance issue or even an over confidence issue looking at the vast majority of comments.

If I was to sum up how the game looks I'd say we're rightfully favourites against a weakened Saints side but favourites don't always win. Saints are still a real threat with some real form men and I expect them to attack the game like they've nothing to lose. Saints will need to play very well to beat Wigan but they're capable.

I think we're in for a top game.

Wigan fans in general are playing a very dangerous game this week. The way they are disrespectfully and arrogantly writing Saints off could come back to make them look very very silly indeed.

Shocking attempt

You know full well that isn't the case but we'll get this all week off you. If Saints win you'll probably be posting direct from Old Trafford during the victory lap about how our (non existent) 'arrogance' has bitten us on the backside. If we win we won't see a post on here from you until we lose a game next year.

What a week we're in for

You've taken screen shots? Frig me your co*k will blow off if you get to use those on Saturday

I've not seen one comment on here saying it's won. I've some saying they think we'll win if we play to our best which I'd say is fair comment considering the pivots Saints have missing.

I'm personally very nervous about the game. You have nothing to lose and that underdog tag will suit you.

YG, you are so right with what you say, a final between the first and second in the league can go either way. Wigan are being made favourites probably because of their form over the playoffs, but no team more than Wigan have shown more bad form during the season when their mind is not on the game or more importantly the opponents .

But in all my years of watching Wigan , the derbies between us were always the matches we looked forward to the most. On match day we always parked near to a club close to the Wigan end (on that long road that came in from the Lanc's) I think it was a Pilks club. Saints supporters always made room for us even at there own tables.
But after saying this , Wigan to win.

I hate the fools who read the opinions of a couple of people and assume it is the opinion of the majority.


Wigan are bookies favourites. Anyone with rugby knowledge, whatever they decide to type on an Internet forum will write St Helens off at their peril. The team certainly won't be. Although missing key players St Helens will be fresher and less bruised from this week. It's also a GF and a local derby. Form is irrelevant it is down to who plays better on the day (hopefully, I'd hate it to be a refs decision).

To the sensible St Helens fans, good luck, I hope it's a great game worthy of the GF, to the minority.............

A true fan. Your saying you would get more pleasure out of Wigan loosing than celebrating Saints winning. Sad.

Haha. Is this the biggest case of putting words into someone's mouth I've ever seen? Probably.

Please point to where I said I'd get more pleasure from Wigan losing than Saints winning. Good luck finding it.

So I'll also assume you'll also be congratulating them on their foresight and justified confidence should Saints lose?

For what it's worth, you can be a good poster when you want to be. Unfortunately, much of the time, you just come across as childish. Pity that.
