People can read anything they like, I've never suggested otherwise. Similarly, I can comment on what I see as a silly obsession if I wish.

Might not be running but you are moaning about someone else putting a comment on here

This is true. It would be a pretty quiet place if nobody responded to each other wouldn't it?

People on here who read threads on Red Vee would consider posting but I doubt they'd be made to feel welcome going off the past examples of people doing it, so they comment on here about it instead. Now guys like YG, Stu, FTV etc might not always agree with everything on here, they might not always be given overly positive responses and maybe they would even say they feel unwelcome at times (although I think generally most people are happy to see them post on here) but I've never seen the level of personal abuse thrown at them on here that I've seen at least one Wigan fan face on Red Vee. I've posted examples before and it is borderline stuff you'd consider reporting to the police.

There's fans of Wigan, Leeds, Salford, Warrington all posting on Redvee. If they're blatant wind up merchants they quickly get shot down and yeah it's gone over the top in the past. But on the whole anyone is welcome on redvee if they aren't there purely to get a reaction/bite.

I must've missed them when I've been browsing the forum over the last year or two. I probably have a skim over it once or twice a month, so that would be easily done and I'm not saying they're not there. I can just recall the horrendous reactions one Wiganer got in the past and it sticks in my mind and I wouldn't dream of posting on there because of it.

No doubt the independent nature of Red Vee leads to a few more 'out there' opinions and that's understandable. Wigan fans in the past would interact with Saints fans on the Saints board on here but that's not as easy now. It's a shame really and it is what independent boards will lead to. I wouldn't expect too many Saints fans to want to register for the independent Wigan board and vice versa (and they don't) but fans will still be interested in what is said from either side.

As I can your silly obsession with people reading and commenting on RedVee as if it's some sort of sacred text!

I'll tell you what; I'll warn you up front that I and others will continue to read RedVee and continue to comment on here about it as we see fit. We'll take it as read that you disapprove saving you the trouble of pointing it out every time someone comments and us the time of responding to your response ad nauseum. Agreed?

Wrong side of the bed pal?

No mate, I'm fine. I need to apologise to you in fact. I've just had a look at RedVee. I'm really sorry.

Wrong side of the bed pal?

When he said “fans of each club” he means a single fan from each club. And besides rogues, the 3 others fans from the other clubs, barely ever post.

He’s making out like it’s some Mecca of rugby league discussion when in reality it’s a cesspit of morons

Weren't you JackMooves (sp) on there a while back ?

Wonder if Clark will pick up a 1 game ban for pushing Holroyd into the advertising boards

That was mugwump. Probably before your time but he was well known on rlfans.

Like you need Clark to miss the game. You will beat saints by about 30 anyway

I don't think so.

Looking forward to this already next week. We are way off at the moment and the worry is that, usually in sport, you can't just 'flick the switch' and expect to perform well.

On the other hand, Saints are defending very well but their attack is dreadful at the moment. A key tactic would be to kick to Bennison at every opportunity to dominate the first collision and go from there. Leeds kept kicking to Welsby last night and he started their sets off very well.

Intriguing, for a lot of reasons; us being Champions, Luke Thompson, Walmsley looking like his old self, sold out...can't wait!

It will hopefully be a cracking game played in a great atmosphere.

I’m not too optimistic, we seem to be suffering the expected WCC hangover & St Helens though are clunky in attack (much like us) are defending very well. We really need to sort out discipline out.

I just hope the players decide the result rather than the ref.

You should be optimistic so should the Saints fans, what's gone before counts for nothing. Both teams will go up a couple of levels, there is nothing like a Wigan v Saints derby.

Nervous for this one, not been particularly impressed with us this year and you sense a loss is coming.

I don’t think there’s much between the 2 teams. If not for the Tomkins magic they could very easily have been in the GFinal which would have been a 50/50 game. Plus their one loss this year was only due to a red card.

Don’t want Saints fans to take this the wrong way but… This game means much more to Saints than it does Wigan. They’ve sat back and had to watch us lift the LLS/GF/WCC, everyone’s been talking Wigan up, now everyone’s getting onto this long win streak.

It’s a big statement game for saints to prove they are the top team.

It was roles reversed last year on GF where Wigan wanted it more.

The combo of home advantage plus perhaps wanting it more means I make saints slight favourites.

I’d love our attack to click though and post some points on them.

Can’t wait either way. Beating Saints at Saints if an achievement Peet doesn’t have.

I’m confident we’ll see a totally different Wigan team to the one we’ve watched since Penrith and we’ll need to. Saints are defending their socks off but we have that in us as well and our attack is definitely better than Saints, so it’ll be a case of making sure we’re up for the game, match them physically and defend properly.

It should be a cracker.

The sport needs it to be a first class contest. Any neutral watching SL this year will be very disappointed with many of the games. One sided matches a plenty are not good for our game.

Saints start decent favourites for me - we've not yet recovered from the traditional post WCC drop off and have probably been a little fortunate with the fixtures. In this competition atm a top 2 side can play well within themselves and win against some of the lesser sides and that's what we've done in recent weeks. The only game we were tested was against Salford and a stroke of luck at a key moment got us the win.

Not an expert on sports science but you'd like to think a plan's been put in place to take the foot off the gas a little over the last few weeks with a view of cranking up the intensity over Easter. Having another forward available that's capable of winning a collision or two would be helpful but looks like it's too early for Havard, Cooper or Walters. Not the end of the world if we lose but definitely hoping for a close and intense game.

As pointed out we havn't hit our straps yet,but,still managed to beat the team that beat Saints.

I am very confident that we will win.
