It would be nice to go into a derby feeling we had a good chance for once. If we had Burns and Vea, I'd have put the house and car on a Saints win. Now, with the injuries we've got it's a near impossibility again. If we manage it, as with the Grand Final, it'll be an outstanding achievement, but the most likely outcome is a 18 point defeat.

Makes me laugh these days how Tribal the rivalry is! but Credit to Wigan a 25,000 sell out is a good news story and we need some these days in the game!

And to the 6,000 Saints fans that will be there.

According to Ian Lenagan on Wigan t.v. Saints will have around 5,000 fans there tomorrow. Good effort, just a pity about the weather forecast.

So at what minute do we reckon the fraca will ensue?

How's life in the lower leagues treating you? Has the Bronco's tribe got past 25 yet?

That idiot will never give any credit to his former club. He's worse than a wigan troll

Nerves are kicking in already! I reckon it'll go off in the first 5-10 minutes and there'll be cards out all afternoon. Our best chance of winning is to bomb Hampshire all afternoon and play a forwards game. I reckon Wigan are gonna throw it about and try and catch us outwide with Swift's tendency to shoot out the line. Optimistically, I think we'll sneak it!

Saints by 12-18 points wigan fan

Hard one to call.
Saints have started stronger, but have again fallen victim to injuries to key personnel.
Wigan have started slowly, but finally racked up some points last week, albeit against a damaged Wakey squad.

Will GF revenge spur the pie eaters to victory? Will Roby's return mean the bigger Saints pack is marshalled to do enough to let their makeshift halves play?
