I'm finding it amusing that Wigan fans seem to be making so much out of a 2 point lead at this stage of the season.

In general, it feels to me that although we're enjoying our current position we're wary of our inconsistancies in previous years and that they could very easily come back should we drop the intensity. There aren't many speaking about league leaders shields or grand finals, we're just enjoying the ride at the moment.



In regards to your game on Friday, I attended and wanted St Helens to win. I think (I should I say thought) Warrington may finish above Saints this season plus their defeat has allowed us to sit two points clear on top.



I think St Helens are enjoying the eye being on everyone else but them this season. To grab a win against Warrington and not play to their full potential just goes to show what a class side they are. I just thought you sometimes played with little structure, but when that comes back you'll be back on top form...I just hope it doesn't come back against us.

We will beat wigan easily.



People are thinking that Mcguire has somehow suddenly turned an average playing roster into a world class one. Our pack is twice their pack and our halfbacks are streets ahead in terms of skill and form. You can argue on paper their backs are stronger and in Roberts and Richards have the 2 best wingers in the league, but our backs are as solid as a rock in defense.



It will be over by the 60 minute mark.

If this comes back to bite you on the Iestyn, I'm hunting you down, taking you to Purple Akkie's house and letting him have his way with you.

It wont. Trust me on this one.

We'll see a week on Friday won't we. I suggest you start your rain dance now.

I admire you're optimisim, and i hope you're right! I think it will be closer than you are suggesting though

Ahhhh, it's nice to have the overconfident Wigan back. Beating the resigned Wigan just wasn't as much fun.

Nothing overconfident in my post at all. I just think a dry pitch will suit us better than a wet one. It will be a tough game. Codarmy though seems to be very confident.

Nothing overconfident appart from suggesting we need to offer ourselves up to the rain gods? The obvious allusion being we can't compete on a dry track?

No I just think a dry pitch will suit WIGAN better than a wet one. Read what I writted

rather than what YOU thought I did.

I did read it - it said "I suggest you start your rain dance now."



Spin it how you wish, but it's a clear reference to us needing conditions to be a leveller against the mighty Wigan.

The rivalry is back.



You bunch of horrible scousers.

If Saints can turn over Huddersfield which will be very tough, and Wigan defeat Leeds which is highly likely, then the derby game should be a belter and another sell out at the old girl.



Wigan have looked impressive this year, and their defeat at Bradford was due to a freak second half with their first half performance more akin to what they have served up this year.

It'll be good to have the pies back here thinking they are going to win for once....

But just think how distraught you'll be when we do win the final derby at KR.

Is it just me who doesn't attach any significance to the "last game against X" at Knowsley Road?



The very last game at KR will be emotional, all the others are just another game to me. hopefully we only have one last game at KR, unlike Warrington who had about 27 at wilderspool.

No, it means little to me. I'd much prefer to concentrate on winning the title rather than individual games against local rivals.



We'll get the same in the new ground.

Exactly and IIRC that old dump is still standing?



As for last game this and that - with a playoff systems we really dont have a clue when our last game against team x will be at this stage in the season.

They're still upset that the last try scored at Central Park was by the one and only Tommy God

No we're not, but we would have been upset if we had lost the game.

We won and that's all that matters.

He's already been. Several times.

Or that Wigan, with undoutedly the pacier backs, would benefit most from a dry track. You're getting very touchy FTV. Twitchy a*rse by any chance?

Not twitchy at all. I just don't think we've reached the point where we worry about the weather forecast when we play Wigan yet.





If you think Saints ever hope for rain rather than dry tracks, regardless of opposition, you've obviously not watched us play very much.
