What a load of arrogant tosh from a sizeable component of the Wigan fans. The usual 'we wont play as poorly as that in the last match against 'em. etc etc. The fact remains that a team of kids turned you over on your own patch. Notwithstanding the fact that our school boy half backs out played the old men in the middle of the park for Wigan is the fact that Saints made plenty of errors in that match to allow Wigan back into the game as well as a high penalty count in Wigan's favour.One thing for sure is that you won't get the begging penalties next week.

Idiot bravado is always entertaining. The truth is that a competent but limited (and that is a criticism of the whole of SL) is looking tired. Wigan were lucky that they had the get of jail card in flattening Gary Wheeler the first match, now the team has gelled at the right time so that whoever plays 6, Pryce or Gaskell, I fully expect to threaten the Wigan line.

As for the crowd tonight, some pillock on here can rattle off a Saints attendence at Widnes which is akin to me mentioning Wigan's average in the second division but the fact remains that the so called BIGGEST team in the world could'nt draw more than 7000 is laughable. No wonder Leeds fans think you nob-ends. Your just a drop in the ocean caught up in your pathetic self importance. Thank god Saints never had the obnoxiousness to come out with such e. Wonder how many of you watched Wigan struggle to beat Pilks Recs?

Simmonds didnt like the idea of resting this week thats why he arranged this game with the under 20s. They are running scared.

I can just imagine you getting so worked up over your computer. Never has this been more apt...

You know for a fact we are cacking ourselves do you? Been round to conduct some sort of a survey? It's not a fact, its your opinions. I texted Jukesays before the game and said you would win today and win well, were always going to respond after last week. It's nothing that's made me anymore worried.

You lot will probably start as slight favourites next week, but that doesn't mean an awful lot. It's a game that could go either way.

I just had a read at this thread and the misplaced confidence from the Wigan fans is laughable. Ok you have had the better of us in recent times, and you are very capable of turning us over next week, but we are improving with every week, the halves are really combining well, we now have a kicking game from gaskell which we have lacked for years , in Roby and Lomax we have two players that looked capable of cutting you to shreds at will last week.

It should be a great game !

COYS

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.
