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.
