Too true!

That would be a novelty!

I wonder when was the last time we managed that??

2006?

First game of 2010 for about 35 minutes before Sia got injured?

It feels like it was!

Yep. And none of us could see anyway.

Saints 22 Wigan 8

The Hull fans made me laugh with their song that night. It was the only thing that was entertaining that night mind you.

I think we'll go pretty well this year and depending on how the players react to the coach, we could have a really good season (especially if we're luckier with injuries too!). But I get the feeling this game could be a little bit too early for us. We're naturally slow starters and we've basically got 2 new centre's lining up and two new half backs (haven't played together in a competitive game since June last year), which makes me a little bit concerned about our edge defence, particularly the left hand side. Wigan are preparing for a WCC and will be going into the year almost full tilt.

It's a game we can win if we defend well, but I don't think we're anywhere near favourites going into this one. If we won this one, I'd be delighted but it isn't the end of the world if we dont.

Now that's what I call hedging my bet.


BTW Blob I agree with you, because the first games of the season are normally a lottery and Wigan in previous years have been caught cold. Like you I'd love a win but won't be slitting my wrists if we dont.

But, If you take your laptop, you'll be on this forum

Don't need it BJ, the bar has got internet facilities.

i hate saying this but cant see anything but an easy win for wigan, similar score to the first game last year in the fog against hullfc

At the end of the day remember it is the end of the season that counts not the beginning. Much as we would like to win especially as it is against Wigan it won't be the end of the world. I think we will put up a better performance than many people think we will. Its a DERBY anything goes.

It's all about confidence and getting off the blocks fast.
In that respect either team could suffer from a slow start and if not careful could see the game gone for them by HT.

It's impossible to say which team will react better, but my gut instinct that the goons will esp after OT in the GF. Balanced against that is their missing players so......I'm going for a draw. 22-22

I'm inclined to agree, but mainly because we are underdone. We just haven't had any real time to play as a team under our new coach and that is bound to affect how we start the season. We'll all be holding our breath just to see if Kyle makes it through the full 80 without any problems! I think that would be an achievement in itself. I just hope we put up a good show, regardless of the result.

Saints on a tight win 18-14

The only thing that worries me today is the number of injuries being picked up. I just hope we don't pick any up today. If that is the case I can see us sneaking a close win.

Just heard some info direct out saints camp. We have picked up another injury and he is a big doubt for the Wigan game.

Also three players going into the game carrying injuries.

Who's doubtful?

Come on spill the beans.

I've pm you.

I want a pm as well.

Please.
