Saints by 20 points, just can't see anything other than a comfortable win for them. We have been so poor this past month, obviously the injuries to the forwards haven't helped but all aspects of our play as been very poor

Concur with this.
My worry is if we get a slow start then we could get a real hammering.
Will Peet go back to Field at FB and French on the wing?
Could Thornley get into the starting 13?
A difficult one for Peet and his coaching team.
Interesting times

If we can be somewhat competitive and take some confidence into the cup game that would be good enough IMO although I know a lot of the Wigan fanbase would not agree. Sometimes you have to be realistic, take the hit and take comfort from the fact that you don't need to win every game. Just the knockout ones.

I fear a very tough night though due to a very limited forward pack and a halfback pairing with little form/fitness.

A defeat against them is never easy to take especially a heavy one, but you're right in that the following week means more in terms of the season and whether we win one of the prizes.

Saints could beat you 100-0 and you will still beat the wolfs. Peets game plan will be to just run at and kick to dufty as often as possible. He is the worst defensive fullback I have ever seen In SL. He actually ran away from some of Catalans bombs at the weekend and did the same against St Helens l. My youngest daughter is 9 and has a bigger backbone than than waster.

I’m almost pleased I won’t be able to watch it as I’m busy on Friday. Fearing the worst.

I have a ticket, but I'm looking forward with some trepidation.

I have and feel the same.
But you never know.
Could this be the fourth game in a row if we win ?

74-0, fortunately Makinson misses two shots at goal

Clearly the rest of your fans don't feel as positive as you Jason. Still not sold out a 3k away allocation yet.
