It seems to be the general consensus.
And to be honest if a side like Wigan who are playing at home and will already be into their season can't beat a side thats flown 12,000 miles halfway round the world (probably with a team that will be missing a lot of players that played in the NRL grand final) something is seriously wrong.
Wigan should win this by at least 20 points. |

Have you ever actually seen the NRL, how anyone can say Wigan should win by 20 points is crazy |

So the concensus that Wigan will win at a canter is by you not by the Wigan fans on here. |

Not at all.
Even the Saints fans think Wigan will win.
They were discussing it on the Hull FC board a while ago too.
And I agree.
Wigan by 20 AT LEAST |

I'm with you here, Rogue. Think we'll just edge it. |

I hope we win and i'll be happy if we edge it but I'm not over confident. Anything can happen in these games, if theyre such a cetainty then what happened in 2003, 2009 and 2010??? Plus won't WE be missing a few players who played in the SL GF??
I think the above comments are thrown around by opposition fans just to cover all bases in case of a Wigan win / loss. |

If we win it'll be a real close tussle and it won't be by more then 6 points imo.
To beat any side containing guys like Boyd, Morris, Cooper, Gasnier, Soward, Hornby,Young, Weyman, Creagh, Fien etc is going to take one hell of an effort but with home backing and a spot of luck we're capable.

Who's going to be missing for them?
I read Weyman was a doubt but haven't read about any others.

This sounds suspiciously like the sort of excuses the Aussies themselves make before these WCC matches. Or the sort of comments non-Wigan fans make to a) discredit a Wigan victory, and/or b) make a Wigan defeat seem all the more painful - in that respect it's no surprise that Saints fans are saying it.
Wigan also are likely to be missing players who played in the Grand Final, and while acclimatising after such a long journey might be a problem for St George, they are still one of the best club sides in the world.
I don't know where you got this 'consensus' from, but I can honestly say that I know no Wigan fan who expects us to win at a canter. None at all. |
