If the RFL have any backbone then O'Loughlin won't be available for your game next weekend after going in with the knees on Damien Blanch, he later had to leave the field injured.

Quick quiz question.

Which player was banned earlier in the week by the RFL for the same offence of leading with the knees and which team did he play for ?

.............All we need is a decent ref who plays it fair.........Ah well.......

Good luck for next week - I think this will be the game of the year. I'm not sure if anyone is going to get past Wire this season (especially not Leeds) - they do look as though the team most likely to beat them is themselves.

Does anyone else kind of hope we don't win against Wigan? If it were Leeds, by the result of some minor miracle, in the final I wouldn't mind, losing to them isn't a problem. Losing to Warrington in a Grand Final would be a bit horrific however.

leeds will beat the wires .
we will beat the dirty cheating pies.
we will avenge those previous GF defeats to leeds and send graham on his way down under as a CHAMPION.


COYS.

Dream on. As if Leeds will come anywhere near Warrington.

Coward.

That's me. I was at peace with us losing in the playoffs and not spending £150 to get wet on a cold October Saturday in Manchester.

You can still save your money and keep warm even if Saints get there you know.

Then the rest of us can still enjoy the final while the surrender monkeys cower in front of the TV.

Nah, can't do that. If we got there the kids would want to go, so I'd be forced to.

They must have got their courage from their mum

Unless there's a brave milkman round his way.

It's not really about fear. I'm not scared of us losing or us not being the best. I've kind of accepted that, we're massive underdogs in this series. It's the trapsing round Manchester, losing and getting soaked on the walk back to the car and the missing £150 I'll have that I'm more bothered about.

We will not win the Grand Final.

Definitely the more likely.

Im a Wigan fan, and can honestly say im really quite embarrassed by some of the petty posts by fellow Wigan supporters!!! But some of the retorts by Sts fans havent been much better!!! In all next weeks game is going to be a cracker!!! The results of any previous games this season mean nothing!!! This is going to be a Wigan v St Helens Semi-Final Play-off game, as well as a derby match....its going to be the game of the season so far!!! I cant call it! Its going to be a great advert for Rugby League!!! I already have my ticket and cant wait for it!!! St Helens v Wigan are nearly always classic games regardless of league form!!! Lets stop this , my dads harder than your dad nonsence, and start to build up to what is going to be a classic game to which no one knows who'll win until the final hooter!!! Lets enjoy the build up this week and see what happens!!!

Good luck to both teams
Lets keep it Lancashire(ish)

Nice to see the rivalry is back

After reading the corresponding thread on C & W , I don't think your guys should bother turning up on Saturday, as the mighty Wigan are already well on their way to battering Wire in the GF anyway.

Arrogance, conceit or crust munching stupidity? I can't work it out

A bit of all really.

FWIW, I do think Wigan will win this week, but if we don't turn up at full pelt then we'll get done.

Should be a cracking game. Again.

Can't believe the attendances last weekend again? when did Wigan last get under 7,000? Huddersfield down and even the Championship play off's so bad! what is wrong? as someone said today are people getting sick of the Sky Plkay off Trophy as that is what it really is!

What's the attendance forecast for Saturday then?

Wigan have sold 2,100 of their 2,800 allocation today. Some have also bought South Stand tickets from Saints.

Good good. Hopefully they can bring as many or more than we took to the DW for a non knock-out game.

Not being funny mate but you are good at losing Grand Finals, what is it 5 in a row?

At least we have got to them on a regular basis, unlike a certain team with W at the beginning and 'igan' at the end.

Is it correct that by beating Wigan on Saturday we will have the added bonus of beating them into a Superleague minimum of 2nd place.
