Well we face the old rival of Stains again on Sunday!! What are everybody's thoughts on the game?

Just another game against a mid-table side.

I think its going to be a classic, cant call it myself.

I can't make it but if both teams play like they did last week then we will come away with the win.

To be honest this is the first derby for a long time that we can go into feeling confident,
not saying that we are going to walk it but am feeling good about Sunday.
[size=200Come on Wigan [/size

It's going to be yet another exciting week as we build towards yet another epic encounter. I'm only sorry it's on Sunday. I prefer Friday games.

Win this and the place will be buzzing. If we beat Wire at home as well that would be close to cementing a top 2 finish. Come on Wigan

Beating Saints and Wire at home would hopefully cement a top place finish with us going 8 points clear of them both. Hopefully.

I'm so excited for this game as they will be out for Good Friday revenge! I am
feeling pretty confident going into this game which I haven't been able
to say goin into a Stains game for quite a few seasons!!

Come on Wigan!!

Spot on.

The Sunday fixture and KO time has really put a downer on this game for me.

It’s still Wigan vs Saints so of course I’m looking forward to it but not as much as I would be if it was on a Friday night.

As for the game itself we’ve got an excellent chance of winning this one.

The three big games we’ve played this season Wire, Saints and Leeds away have seen us rise to the occasion and apart from the last 30 secs against Leeds we’ve proven that unlike previous seasons we can raise our game to a new level when needed.

I’m as confident about our chances as you can be in a big derby game like this.

One thing is for sure the chance to move 8 POINTS CLEAR OF SAINTS on Sunday is an opp we can little afford to miss.

If the weather stays fine, we'll get 40.

Personally really pleased that this game is on Sunday, i hate having to rush home from work on Friday to make a game.

Really confident about getting the 2 points.

Saints are still a very dangerous team but if we can keep the penalty count to a minimum then i think we will be fine.

Must say I'm feeling pretty confident. Hopefully Lockers will be ok and it's nothing more than a little tweak. A lot will depend on who Saints have back, but with dry weather predicted I don't think we'll suffer from lack of points scored.

I'm guessing we'll be the bookies favorites for this game, surely it'll be quite a while since we've gone into a game against Saints as favorites even at home.

Has Ganson been announced as ref yet?

Don't tempt fate.

Just had a look and there are 4405 seats shown as available.

So we already have over 20k turning up for this match, with a week to go.

As to Friday/Sunday - Don't care too much. Friday is a little easier (although more rushed), but with the foozeball on at the same time, Sky were never going to go head-to-head so Sunday is a good alternative.

Either way, I'm nervous about this one, but marginally more confident than I have been in previous years.

I still think we'll lose, but that's just the eternal pessimist in me.

Please let it be Ganson.

It's about time we had a decent ref.

Getting fed up with seeing the guys that simply aren't good enough (Silverwood, Bentham, Thaler, Alibert, etc.)

Wouldn't mind Alibert personally. At least he's crap for both sides.

We have won 7 from 7 with him in charge.

Would've much rather this was Friday night in terms of atmosphere, but I can understand the reasons for moving it - unfortunately, it looks as though the attendance would've taken a hit either way.

Still, really looking forward to this one. Holidays mean that I'll miss the next two after Saints (Quins and Catalans away - not sure what category that puts me in?) so I'm hoping it'll be a good send-off that'll mean we're still convincingly top by the time I'm back for the Salford game.

Win this one and I can't see us not finishing in the top two. Nervy that we might blow it, but confident we'll take them by twelve to sixteen on yesterday's showing.

Need to go pick up some tickets for people this week too - would've gone last week but held off after seeing the new booking system - makes it much easier to judge how close to selling out it is!

Its derby week and Im sure as the week progresses we will be more and more up for it.

On the game I think wigan will win it and go 8 clear of saints. There seems to be alot of injuries around Saints at the minute and they are playing hookers at half back. I think for saints to stand any chance of winning they need to get eastmond back but I do not know how likely that is.

Time for Big Stu and Coley to get one over their front row because as we know that is where saints are dangerous with Graham and Cunningham. Get graham of his game similar to good friday very early.

We've got a major dilemma on the wing. Pryce or Goulding? Both have their pros and cons but Id probably go with goulding in this one. Just because of the wigan passion he will bring to the game.

It would also be nice to have O'Carroll back to provide us with some more mobility off the bench.

wigan to win by 10-14 points!

Im nervous



But come on Wigan, a double over Saints in Madges first season would be one hell of an achievement considering Noble rarely beat them when he was here



Come on Wigan.

I'm bringing all the newbies that I brought to the good Friday derby, don't want to see their 100% record go out the window! Wigan 24 St Helens 22 Last minute try from Karl Pryce to shut his critics up once and for all
