Jes the draw is only a few hours old, nice to see the old rivalries are already stiring up passions even if it is about which stadia. lol


I reckon we will have Wigan's number for this one. Better to play now whilst we have a little run of form going.

We've got Cas next week whose heads will hopefully be at a historic chance to get to Wembley.
Wigan have Hull who have come off their run of form, but will be looking to put everything into sealing that top 8 spot between now and the end of the season.

A win for Saints and Wigan next week I think. But maybe with Wigan having a bit more of a tougher outing against the Black and Whites.

I think we may even rush Clough back a week early if possible so he has a hit out the week before the semi.

The squads are going to be critical for this one.

We can put Fielden, Cross and Farrell in, giving 3 players a week off before the semi and still field a strong team vs Hull.

Saturday at Wire please RFL.

21st Birthday + Wigan semi final = Messy.

Should be an terrific game.

Interesting to note that you've got Leon Pryce back. However seeing as he tends to go missing when the going get's tough I'm not to concerned. But in the rare case that he does rear his ugly head I'm sure a Coley or Lima special to the knee's will take care of him.

I must say I'm reasonably confident going into this game. If only because of the fact that everything good that Saints do comes from quick play of the ball's, and we're as I'm sure you well know are the masters of slowing it down.

Lima

He's soft as $hit with a hard man image.

I would imagine our semi will be viewed as the game of the weekend so it will go on the Saturday. I too hope for the HJ, if they can stand it, because we don't want the place looking empty and Saints fans have been terrible this season in turning up for any match, regardless of price or anything really. Saints -v- Wigan at Wire just might attract enough Saints support to actually give the lads some vocal back up during the match.

Agreed - especially for someone who doesn't drink all that much...


Should be a great game as we head into it with probably the fittest squad we've had all year. Bring it on!

Don't tempt fate with our injury record we still have to play before the semi which has potential for more injuries.
