Indeed, should you lose, in the past it has resulted in a sever run of defeats. Will a loss this time see you tough it out and say "who cares" and get back to winnign ways straight away. Tony Smith has been the best signing for your lot I would say his attitude will be "its just another game, and heres the game plan" and shrug it off if his team lose.

I think we need to get passed inflating the saints game up in the way that we do every time. I know we are overdue a win against them but if the players feel the same way that we do then it will help cause errors through nerves when it is not required.

Hopefully TS is spending this week trying to calm the team and turn this into 'just another game' to try and take some of the pressure off them.

IF we do get whomped then it's not a worry, We all know there is still massive room for improvement but under TS and the team themselves will know there is still a long way to go. I would hate for us to win now and it install the belief that we are suddenly world beaters only for us to be brought back down to earth the following week.

we will have a bit more direction this week with briers back in the team

Saints by 36.

That would be a joke, yes?

This is a fresh start and our first ever Skints game under Tony Smiths guidance. It will certainly be interesting.

Does he? He's usually a non entity when we play them...

Have to agree pryce usually disapears against us its usually long or cunningham that cause the problems.

as long as the efforts there we can't complain,i hope we can win but nowadays i go to games thinking we should win.i'm quite sure all our past results mean nothing to tony smith,all he will be focused on is getting 2 points on saturday,this has been a monkey on the teams back for years not tony smiths.
wires by 16/20 points

I certainly remember Pryce having good games here... Hattrick www.independent.co.uk/sport/gene ... 50835.html Try www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/spo ... -19752969/ Assist which turned the game www.independent.co.uk/sport/gene ... 78037.html

All my memories of Pryce playing against us are bad ones (for us)

I'm sure Pryce will step up again without the presence of Long and with Tony Smith as England coach, I'm sure he will try to prove his worth to the England set-up after missing out in France and a Poor World Cup. Has a good history of playing well against us, so IF he plays crap I'd be very surprised.

Im really looking forward to this game, getting quite giddy



woop come on the wire

forward passes...

Scully was missing

I really dont know how saints can use injuries as an excuse when we have players out ourselves

Quote ="Dean Richmond"I really dont know how saints can use injuries as an excuse when we have players out ourselves '" It isn't an excuse. According to Harry we have: OUT Cunnigham Gidley Long Cayless Wilkin (possibly) Pryce (possibly) saintsrlfc.com/news/1909 We have a very thin squad and they are some very key players out, no excuse it is our own fault. What is the injury status of Briers. Other than Higham who is out for you?

Will Ganson be the video-ref??

No it'll be the "Oh you'd think they'd won the grand final!"

But they celebrate wins against us like they have won at OT!

Fools the lot of em...

The one thing that gets me all warm inside is the positivity all us wire lot are spouting for a change or as the pies call it arrogance??

For once we look like a side that can turn saints over, we may not but for a change we could.

Come on Wire do us proud and for any Wigan fan reading this, it's not arrogance just supporting your team and coach. try it some day pies it helps get the best out of your players *cough* Mathers *cough*

Well, since we've definitely not got Long, Cunningham and Gidley in the side on Saturday and we're unlikely to have Wilkin, with Pryce an outside chance, you flippin should be able to turn us over! They are our key players, all of them. Potter has clearly stated that our young guns are pretty much taking over the controls on Saturday.

Well, at least Eastmond can kick beltin drop goals. I'd hate us to rob you of the chance of watching one sail over the crossbar, just at the right moment. We all know how you love to do that.
