Who would have thought at the start of the season we will go to saints as favourites and top of SL just hope they get turned over today. giants at their place is not easy as we discoverd last year when we got well and truley beaten

Yes thank' swatching loads of games, Junior, 1st grade Wynnum- Manley, (Wally Lewis, Gene Miles old stompi ground) I posted last week that I witnessed the first 0-0 scoreline in Queensland, since 1925 (don't think Bilko or rogues was there, but, I stand to be corrected) against Burleigh Head, I honestly think the standard of junior rugby is in decline over here, 1st grade is of a very good calibre, I went to the Suncorp stadium to see the Broncos today, I went hoping to see Tony Mossop and his gang but somehow it did not work out and I missed them. We are watching Wigan v Leeds tonight on channel 9, only problem is it kicks off at midnight!!! I tried to put an image of Tony and myself taken at the Plough Inn in Brisbane, but I was unsuccessful,
Behind the bog door in the Plough some one wrote, Kilroy was here!! someone else had inserted, "yes, but I was here first" signed Rogues Gallery. regards to all in Blighty

im feeling a little pesimistic about this game. 3 weeks ago i couldn't see us losing but we have lacked some composure over the last few weeks and our defence has slightly dropped off. Saints have had two comfortable wins against two of the best sides in the comp . we are gonna have to be right on our game to stand a chance.

To be fair we havent actually seen the Saints performance today, the scoreline was pretty much the same for us on friday. Its going to be very tough and i dont think either team are going to be favourites.

True you are top of the league and totally deserve to be top but i wouldn't say your going into the game as favourites.

Could be best derby in years.

Just to correct a previous poster. Wire took 6 800 to Saints was announced on GMR during match commentary. Warrington Wolves ticket office had told them.

The form table (last 6 games) reads....

1st Wigan 5 wins 1 Defeat F208 A92 +116 10points
2nd St Helens 5 wins 1 Defeat F177 A110 +67 10points

So nothing in it. At home I'd be quite confident. Away I think it'll be as tight as both last years games at Knowsley Road.

it was but hudds are quality with the best defence in the league. Leeds were missing personnel in key areas and still frustrated us. my heart says wigan but head says saints by 8-10 points

Weather forecast is for snow coming in from Wednesday

pffft! I wouldn't trust the met office to get it right if they are telling us the current weather looking out of the window at their offices, never mind get it right 5 days in advance!

Anyway any snow won't linger for long at this time of year.

This will be the one time they are right
