Saints V Wigan! Gunna be tough! Look to be back to playing well. Step up Saints

...again.

They did play well today but the French did open them up few times in the first half and didn't do anything with it.

Easy.

Saturday? FML!

Its rubbish that teams play each other twice in the play offs.

They still look tired and there for the taking.

So long as we play as we did last week - but for the full 80, with brainfarts erased and penalties minimal - we have as good a chance of beating Wigan on Saturday as we did on Sunday.

It's just ridiculous that we are having to play them for the sixth bloody time in a season.

They didn't look tired last week or against Warrington and they didn't look tired today either. That was all bollox to excuse the fact that we totally out played them last week.

I agree that Wigan were not tired last week but I don't remember anyone from the club mentioning it as an excuse? I only heard that from the media. We were very poor, you were good and outplayed us. I'd expect to see a much improved Wigan performance on Saturday however with it being a much more significant game.

Not often i can say this with our rivalry and all that but ill be right behind your boys next week, do rugby league a favour a batter them then we'll see you in the final and show the watching masses how the game is MEANT to be played

Maguire said last week that Wigan wasn't tired and it's nothing to do with the challenge cup final, just that they wasn't doing the basics.

Even tho the took Catalan apart today they was opened up in the first half but Catalan didn't do anythig. On another day they might have got the two tries that was chalked off and it could have been a different game.

Catalans kicking was awful today and the halfbacks was rubbish.

I think next Saturday will be tight.

Wigan weren't poor last week; we outplayed you. We didn't let you do what you did to the Dragons today, just as we didn't on Good Friday. We murdered you around the ruck area. We do that again on Saturday and we will beat you again.

To beat Wigan we have to control the ruck, have good kicking game and IMO most importantly is to tackle with the attitude we had last week. We've got to be up for it in defence and willing to put the hard work in.

Exactly

You're going to need luck just to get through a week of cocksure Wigan fans telling you last week won't happen again "coz this is a big game init"

I've just read C&W mate. Truly unbelievable arrogance from fans of a team who you'd think had given us a good stuffing last week.

They're getting carried away with the scoreline against the Dragons. But that's ok. The fall will be even greater when we beat them next weekend.

I'm not so confident about next week. It's not very often we've been capable of putting two good performances together.

Just been on C&W reading the St Helens thread and I've never seen as much arrogance and argument between Saints and Wigan since they were poop!
What happened to this mutual respect? :HAHA:
I hope the wigan players have that much over confidence going into the game on Saturday!

I'm gutted I'm still banned off the inbreeds board as I've never seen so much crap in all my life.

Just shows why they are so hated thru the whole of rugby league.

Just waiting for one of the pie chompers to quote "everyone hates us and we don't care"

lol they have, in the locked (haha babies) thread about their attendance

it's a regular quote from the pie chompers. Another is "we will do it the Wigan way"

Honestly, I've seen a team so hated as them in all my life. It's a pure hate. In the 80s fans didn't like them because they was good team buy it was unfair as they was only team fully pro but fans hate this team because they are so arrogant

Check this cr@p out on C&W The arrogance is amazing. I hope we stuff em

We have only been paired together because the Wire bottled playing us at the HJ. Would have been a great final us and you, may the best team win!
