Pure comedy genius .Had a great season last year granted but that was last year .We have a far superior team to 2013 whereas yours is vastly inferior.Keep believing that your going to peak again when it counts if thats what eases the losses to huddersfield and cas does.The derby can go either way but our starting 13 and squad is vastly superior to yours this year .

You're mad. But that's fine. We'll see soon enough for sure.
The only time the 2 sides have played, and that was on your manor with your team having much greater motivation, we beat you. The good thing about your "vastly superior" point, is that by 2 on Friday we will know the truth of it.
Out of interest, how many titles/medals/cups can your "vastly superior" first 13 point to, compared with our "vastly inferior" one?
What interests me is that we have 4 years of evidence that Wigan are a very strong team, regardless of the squad changes in that period. That's no fluke - we're well caoched, perfectly conditioned, well motivated and with the right temperament. We have 4 of the same spine that won the double, and a full back in Bowen who is class from head to toe.
From Saints' perspective, Brown had to start fast, as otherwise he might have lost his job. No team can sustain that momentum forever, and all the signs indicate that Saints' form is dropping away. It served its purpose. Wigan are running a different race, and have repeatedly shown that when we have to step up a gear we can do so.

It sounds to me like the only things that at are vastly superior to ours is your arrogance, and delusions of grandeur.

If by "all the signs" you mean winning two 1st v 2nd games and a cup tie away to last years league leaders in three weeks (whilst down on numbers) I would agree.

Ahhh, so the scratchy form is beating two teams you've lost to, got it. For a moment I thought it might be toiling against lower league teams or London
I see you've adopted the Wane approach of making up boasts, excellent work.

Bring on the match! I'm not at all confident given the players we'll have out, but we've proved to have a fair bit of fighting spirit in recent weeks and hopefully that will pull us through.

I'm just glad we can argue the toss again and have some banter about who's the better team.

It's all been too clear cut for a number of years now with one team or the other being comfortably better.
