I've noticed we've shipped around 5 tries this season from attacking kicks and majority of them have come from dropped balls from Miski. Him and Keighran are probably going to get peppered from the first set so thats an area we need to be much better at if we are going to win. Our discipline has been an issue since WCC but i'm sure Peet will be banging that drum all week. Saints will come out flying, but i think we've enough composure and confidence to soak that up in the first 15 minutes to then take one of our chances.

Should be a great occasion, i think we could make a statement.

Looking forward to this. The two best sides going head to head. I agree that it probably means a little bit more to us at the moment than Wigan. They are on their perch at the moment and we need to knock them off.

Gutted that Bell isn't playing as he has been our best player so far this season but Wigan missing a few forwards too. Wet weather will definitely suit us as we have been defensively superb all season and have largely kept our discipline too. Our attack has been awful but a team will have to score 3 tries to beat us at the moment and no-one bar Salford against 12 men has managed it yet. A dry track would be the worst conditions againts us with the pace that Wigan have.

Lets hope both teams finish with 13 men and a ref's call doesn't decide the game.

I go away for 4 nights early on Sat morning so I'll either be toasting a win with a few beers or avoiding my largely Wigan supporting bunch of mates for a few days so a win win either way. Only negative is that Benalmadena is forecast as poor weather as we have here so I'll just be in warmer rain.

Enjoy mate, the break that is hopefully not the win. I am hoping to see a classic and may the best team win.

I don't think it will be a easy win but a win never the less

Anyway good luck to both teams playing in the biggest and best derby in any sport (my view of course).
Just hope it isn't decided on a dodgy call.

May the best team on the day win.
Come On Wigan

Saints bench looks stronger than expected, Bachelor and Matautia e ones to watch out for. Good side out for us Dupree and Mago off the bench hopefully keep punching holes

Target Hurrell side can’t keep the pace

How was it not a red for the trip on Field?

Not to worry though, you got your nonsense red in the end.

I’m guessing given the time of the post you’re watching on TV. The reason was clearly explained by the ref and commentary team. Odd question to ask given the circumstance.
