GAME ON : St.Helens v Wigan Warriors - 19:45:00

GENERAL CHAT ABOUT THE GAME, BUILD UP, THE ACTION AS IT HAPPENS AND AFTERMATH BELOW.

Tough one to call this but I'm going for Saints to have enough attacking weapons in the locker to break down the excellent Wigan defence.

I think I can speak for every fan in hoping that they smash ten bells out of each other so that the losers will be physically incapable of putting up a fight next week.

Should be a belting match tho and hopefully a bumper crowd.

If the fans can't turn up tonight for a local derby with a GF place at stake then the game really is in a sorry state.

A Saints win, Salford to win next week, Saints v Salford, the GF the neutrals want.

2700 sold by Wigan by Wednesday, should be a good turnout.

Hoping for a Wigan win, following by Saints bottling next week.

Hasn't he come on since then?

too easy this. Wigan can’t handle us

Good try from wigan that

Saints butchering us with 5 drives and a kick.

We are defo vulnerable on the edges and Wigan can see that

As Ian Watson said before the game, best prop in the world

Wigan taking a bit of a battering here. Too many easy yards for Saints and poor kicking game gifting field position. Another try before half time and it could be a really long night.

0 errors and 1 penalty from Saints in 30 mins, that’s how you win semi finals.

Try from the best player in the league

Yes they have been brilliant to be fair. It is what they will have to replicate in two weeks to win the comp though where the pressure will be far greater than tonight.

Bit of a no win game for me. Thought Saints may bottle it but also nice to see those 2 young Chavs in Wigan pack not rubbing people's head's Rude shock for Wigan.Still wouldn't bet against them at OT

If this was a boxing match the ref would have stopped it by now. Wigan way out of their depth.

Could get messy if Saints score first second half.
I lumped on Saints -8.

Still time yet.

Need to see saints show some good game management this second half.

Its fine when it all goes your way, but Wigan will show pride in the shirt in this second half.

Richardson isn’t playing so game management will be fine. I feel sorry for cas next season

Leave it out.

Game over. To be fair though, Wigan are so much better than this. Just one of those days for them

Wigan playing like Wakefield at the minute. Defence softer than butter.

Just need to keep a clean bill of health.

Looks like we are back to a less than half full DW next week

lol Tony clubb. And to think the Wigan fans rate him
