if you want St Helens to win then you are not a Wigan fan.

Correct.

Luke Thompson and Alex Walmsley are going to have to step up to a level they’ve not been to. It’s time to prove once and for all Luke Thompson’s credentials on the international stage. It can’t be denied he’s a very good prop but to be truly considered world class he has to step it up a gear on occasions such as this. It feels very much like a Stuart Fielden v Wests Tigers 2006 moment.

1 million percent.

Have never, will never.

Even more than GB winning the ashes series?

Yeah, I dont see myself throwing all my Wigan gear away on the back of your say so. Keen for the British game to get some recognition - hopefully Saints can deliver that.

Agreed. Unless (in the old days of the Championship) a win for them in the last game of the season would secure a title win for us. It never happened thankfully.

He was referencing the WCC competition not the ashes

Then excuse me for not bothering to read any diatribe from McManus.

To me, an ashes win is more important to the game than Saints winning tonight. I couldn't care less what McManus said.

Blokes more comical than his wingman Clubb.

Comedy cheek puffs before getting banjoed by a chook defence

This commentary is horrifically jingoistic

Not watching the game but just seen the score so far. This is terrible for the British game. Saints are without a doubt the best team in SL by a long chalk and cant hack it with an NRL team still in pre season training. Unless something is done quickly to raise the standard of the game over here, we are doomed. Our players are just not as good in any department and every season we seem to be slipping further and further behind.

No shame in that effort.

Honestly, that was Saints game to lose. They had a few chances with the line backing but their backs couldn't convert. They absolutely could have won that game.
