Wigan know all about morality don’t they. I remember when Flower punched an already unconscious Ohaia whist he was on the floor. Then according to Wane they were the moral victors on the day. Funny old world. 

What about...what about...what about..

What about.....

Four in a row or the side 11th after 10 rounds, whatever the result it's a hell of an achievement by the winner.

From a Saints perspective, I'm unusually relaxed about the match. If we lose, we know all good things come to an end and streaks can't last forever. It doesn't take away from this team's incredible achievements over the last few years.

If we win, then wow! Only one other side will have ever achieved this in the UK game.

Hoping for a good game where we are all talking about the players after it. Maybe that's too ambitious for rugby league fans.

[JohnM]

Your response is known as whataboutism. Whatever Wigan have or have not done is irrelevant. This is about Saints abuse of process and lack of integrity and moral fibre.

If we (Saints) lose i’ll be disappointed, but i won’t hold it against the RFL & the officials.
Although those officials are so corrupt, they love Leeds & hate Saints, but most of all i blame Phil Clarke, Tezzer & Bazzer. 
Will someone please count the number of times Wilkin starts a sentence with “Look”, im saying eight times.

Not really mate, would you want Cas to win if they were playing tonight? 

Do you think all the Wigan fans will be cheering for Saints. 

Do you know what a local rivalry is? 

I certainly do but I've mellowed over the years,and i didn't mean it to sound like a dig or whatever, and no i  never want c@$ to win - i haven't mellowed that much  .

[hindle xiii]

Leeds to win by 4.

Soft spot for Rohan Smith and Saints haven't beaten Leeds at Old Trafford.

I'm not even shuddering as I type, shows how times have changed.

Don’t worry, Johnny. I doubt they’ll mention Souths won.

As long as they don't ruin it by mentioning the dodgy last minute penalty try though.

It was....... no I wouldn't do that to you, I bet you will be like Bob and Terry from the Likely Lads when they were avoiding the football match score to watch it on TV.

[Gerrumonside ref]

[Ragingbull]

I believe they were for sale, I'm not sure whether they are used for lounges so people would be in hospitality right now. 

But we'll see

[Ullman]

With Danny McGuire 100%. I really like Knowles as a player but he shouldn't be playing in this game.

[Man of Kent]

Shocked that Samkins defended a blatant chicken wing.

[Dunbar]

Is it just me or does anyone else get nervous about the in goal areas and the proximity of the brick walls a couple of feet away.  I am sure there is risk of serious injury.

When i get chance to listen to 6 Music i only listen to Steve Lamacq, Marc Riley, Gideon Coe. I don’t bother with the stuff before it and i give the weekend a big wide berth with all that dance, rap, soul, deep house, soulful house, Italian Speedcore, stuff with Craig Charles.

When the rubbish stuff on 6 comes on like Cerys Matthews playing Peruvian nose flute music I switch over to NME radio.

There used to be a sheer drop into the brick wall. Think they have sorted that now.

This is the 25th year.  There hasnt been a serious injury in the previous 24. I think we will be ok.
