At the moment the team are working hard for each other....See 2nd half on friday night....Eastmond can only be seen as a disruptive influence and would therfore in my opinion have no right even being considered for such a critical game.

ANyone any idea how sales for the Saints end are going for this game.

Wigan are down to the last 700. with a fair few single seats left. No idea what our travelling band is looking like.

It'll be 2500-3000 i would guess, hopefully more.
Do our bit for the biggest derby in RL.

I wouldn't be overly surprised to see him in the team at some point, especially if we keep going the way we are going with injuries but I'm not entirely sure we are at that point at present, unless Meli is not yet fit, in which case we would be short of a centre. I'd suggest Makinson but I think a derby is not the kind of game in which to play your full debut!

I know that a fair few of Saints fans have bought their tickets from Wigan.

It will be more than that, we'd sold over 3,000 last Thursday (based on what was left given Wigan sales & unreserved capacity)

As to selling out, that is going to be down to the currently undecided...

Watched the highlights of last years game at the DW, it got the hairs up on the neck when Gidley puts Foster in, it also shows how useful Pryce is - hope he comes back playing like he was last year!

His try from the scrum was fantastic to watch. That game was on my birthday; what a great present!

Think there will only be 6 points in it, if we keep our attack going like the last 3 games we should win it. Got a feeling Eastmond will be on the bench (won't start) with Wheeler at 6 if Meli is fit. LMS, Roby and Big Tony are on form so these should give the Wigoons a good test in the front row.
Wigoons are struggling to score points lets hope it continues, like to see Sia put a massive hit on Mr S Tomkins and hopefully Lima will be a penalty machine.
