I can't and won't call it. Saints favourites after last weeks display, will the week off have helped them or hindered them, who knows. We looked better today, nilling Catalan is not a fluke. It's a derby so anything can and will happen. I just hope for a cracking game with a Wigan win.

Why did you go to the game against the U20s this weekend? Thought you were having the weekend to rest, Royce is a little worried dont you think?

Oh you've been reeled in big time.

Keep it up my fellow Wigan supporters.

I don't know who this Simmonds guy is that you keep talking about?


Who are exactly?

Are you married?

Believe this if you want. Wigan were poor last week, the scoreline could have been wider towards Saints but wasn't. We played much better tonight, still not brilliant or near our best but getting there and our best performance since Wembley. Saying Wigan lost last week simply because Saints were too good or that we won tonight only because Catalans were tired/poor just isn't true. If you want to make yourself feel better then go for it.

I think next week will be a better contest. Saints will benefit from the week off and Wigan will have hopefully played themselves in to better form. Should be a cracker!

im not going into a long winded ramble to explain why..........but im going with a Wigan/Leeds Grand final.

you probably should because I have more chance of jizzing all over Rihanna's face in the next 30 minutes than Wire do of losing to Leeds

i hope both you and Rihanna enjoy it..........

I can see it happening to you next week. And guess what you dont get a second chance. Hope you enjoyed your weekend off.

Just wanted to thank all you Wigan fans, I was planning on going to the game next week but now realise that there's no point as Saints are obviously going to get steamrollered by the omnipotent Wigan machine.

Saved £20. Nice one.

(some very red faces on here if Saints do the business next week - unbelievable arrogance)

You got the same copy of FHM as me then

All I know is we played a whole lot better this week, and we have a chance of getting back to Old Trafford.
Huge credit to the players and coaching staff to the turnround from last week.

Why, because they think they have more chance against you lot than Warrington?

You have been following the game this season, have you?

Indeed, let others say it wasn't a good performance. Watch the replay and that defence in the first half, it was brutal. A massive step up from last week!

Since when has anyone gave a shiny $hite what Leeds fans think.



Wind yer neck in Gladys.

Watching the game again, can not believe how much airtime those 2 muppets are giving to bloody club call.
Did not give us much credit at all, thought our defence against a supposed " big pack " was awesome, roll on next week.

There's some quality frothing on the Saints board



Terrified

Much like other years, the lower placed teams in the play offs peak in the first game to beat the opposition. The following week usually results in them being out muscled and outclassed. This will be leeds fortune and their only slim chance is if Warrington implode through complacency.

Saints v Wigan will be a closer game as both are good sides on their day. Think Saints played well last week and eight points not representative of the game (much like 44-0 tonight). Last weeks loss will certainly focus the minds of the Wigan players who, one would assume, will treat Saturday as a "big" game.....unlike last week, according to the faithful.

Agreed.

Just watching the replay now. First Catalan try denied perfectly fairly. Stacul was well offside. No issue with that decision at all.

Even the King of the Wig-Wearing Muppets admitted that "to the letter of the law" (

) it wasn't a try.

Very fair assessment, and one I'm sure most will agree on.

Not sure about that!

Just hoping both teams play well to give a good and fairly won result. Nothing worse than one team having a poor performance at this stage and gifting it to the other....suppose that's the nature of pressure in the run in.

We've now had the ball-strip from George Carmont, the elbow to O'Loughlin's head and the flop by Henderson on Pat Richards - all unpunished by Ganson. So far the evidence is that the ref was actually favouring the French.

Tell you what mate, give me your list of poor reffing decisions that went against les Cats and I guarentee I'll match it decision for decision for ones that went against Wigan. And if you reckon Wigan weren't impressive (and by implication can do much better) in beating Catalans 44-zip you must be a very worried Saints fan indeed.

Maybe she should stick to ironing along with Saints fan.
