We have been inconsistent this season mainly due to the injuries we have had. But we were marvellous against Hull KR and were the same against Cas, bar a blip in the first half. Since we had no interchanges in the second half it was little wonder we let in a couple of soft tries at the end as in those hot and humid conditions with no interchanges the team was always going to be knackered. If our walking wounded heal before the weekend - a big if, this season! - then I think this match could go either way because although Roby is still a vital cog in the wheel, he is no longer our only cog in the wheel. We should also have Clough back, since he made it through a full 80 minutes of u20s action, so he will replace Magennis. All going well, we will be just one prop down with a couple of sparrows on the wings. That constitutes the strongest team we have had available all season.

And we are no longer the slowest team in Superleague.

We are beatable, but I thought it'd be Wire if it was anyone. And we battered them. So think we'll win by a few tries - unless the players turn up thinking they've already won, like they did against Bradford.

This for me.....which although is not invincible, or unbeatable with no guarentees, is a good place to be in.

We play to our potential and play like we did against wire, Saints wont be able to stop us....Wire couldnt and Wigan and Wire are streets ahead of saints.

The worry is if we don't play as we can, even slightly off our top level and saints have a stormer, it will be a close game and saints could edge it....but if thats the case then we'll only have ourselves to blame

We need a big start again I feel - Dominate the first 30 mins as we did at widnes and I think the games ours. Play like we can, to our potential, we'll be going to wembley.

i was one of the few confident before the wire game, and predicted wigan by 10+, although i was worried at half time.
this time, im apprehensive, but quietly confident...wigan by 4-6,

I think Wigan having an extra two nights to turn around will be advantageous as both teams seem to have picked up a few knocks. No surprises that Leeds got the biggest turnaround playing Friday then Sunday



I also think that Wigan have the better playmakers with their four halfbacks on the field, Tomkins, Finch, Deacon and Leuluai, they create space on the left with ease at times.

That being said, it's a one off game and anything can happen, and that's what makes them so exciting.

Throw Lockers into that as well. The way the all link up is superb.

Fully confident for this me.

I'm not confident in the slightest

Fuck Off

If we control the ball like we did at widnes we will win the game. The defence needs tightening a bit as we all know charnley and joel are going to be targeted all day. I'd be tempted to swap deacs and finch around in the defensive line to see if finch can stabalise that side a bit more. Start McIllorum from the off and bring tommy on after 25 minutes for me. I'm going to say a wigan wigan by about 14 points! We prepare for this like a final in my eyes! It truly is that important!

saints don't have the big game mentality anymore and have fewer game-breakers than they have done in the past when they've come up against us.

we are unbeaten in 8 consecutive games with the best defense in the SL (i know this is a CC game!) and we only have to cut out certain players in their side and we can rule the game. they have a bigger job on than us and therefore i am uber confident!

Don't say stuff like that!!
