Saints 4 Wigan 66

Wiganers aren't too confident for this one.

FWIW I think it'll be a Saints win by about 16 points, about 14 - 30.

I just cannot see how Wigan can match us in the forwards or defend well enough to beat us, plus the game at Leeds wasn't nearly as tough as I expected so I think we should be able to back up again fairly comfortably. Having said that, the signing of Gleeson will galvanise them quite a bit and make them battle a bit early on.

The reality is that their forwards just look pathetic compared with the Saints lot.

indeed. if our forwards turn up and play, and they should do after a relatively low intensity game against Leeds, it doesnt matter what their backs do. Our defence will be solid in the first half, which will set up the victory.

Me thinks it will be harder than you lot make out. How many times have you seen the Goons this season? Their 17 looks the best they have had out in a few years for me.

My Wigan mate has seen every game and he tells me we'll hammer them.

Every Wigan fan I've spoken to has said the same, on the Wigan forum they reckon they're going to get hammered too.

Not all of them.

Wigan by 10 points.

Yeah, but I reckon we'll get hammered every week and we nearly always win.
