Discuss the SL game between St Helens and Wigan Warriors here without any inferences that the officials are anything but impartial please.

Could be blood and thunder or a tame, timid affair, hope we get a classic like we used to, either way Wigan for me, i just feel they have better individual players and a better team than the arm-waving plastic scousers.

Pie scoffers by 10 and Wellens to almost cry on screen.

Someone’s still smarting from getting zilled at home

We'd still be at nil now the way you lot played against us.

[Andrewj]

Wigan to strong for the ageing stains, lots of arm waving from Walmsley.  Keep the tackles above the waist or Mr Wellens will have a melt down..

[GeordieSaint]

Can see us winning tomorrow. 

[Zilla Budgie]

Pies win by 10.

[Gerrumonside ref]

Any update on Makinson, Dodd and Knowles for Saints?

[Josef K]

There is only one way Saints can play the game and that is down the middle, they lack pace out wide. The sun is making a guest appearance at the moment, Wellens won’t like that. Wigan by 10. 

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Haven't a clue but I've voted for Saints as the home team.

[meast]

Could it be a draw?

Yes, I know, we aren't allowed to have draws anymore because NRL....

But it could be too close to call.

[bratman]

Somebody shut Wilkin up please

[Gerrumonside ref]

I expected Jon Snow to appear with a sword proclaiming himself the king of the north midway through Wilkin’s speech then!

[jacksy]

I can't remember the year but which game was it when Newton was on a rampage?

Think it was a night match and Newton may have broken Longs jaw. He was hitting everything and anything.

Was it Saints v Wigan or Saints v Leeds?

[Snowys Backside]

Wigan to win, lots of stuffing knocked out of them and to be gassed out and be upset on Thursday night at. Sold out LSV

[Roy Haggerty]

I don’t see anything other than a pie win here, sadly. Very similar defences but Wigan have much more speed and look like they’ve got more tries in them.

Gutted Blake isn’t playing. Not because he is particularly amazing, but he brings pace into the backline. Hurrell is a massive backward step. 

[StandOffHalf]

Nice pre-match interviews with Peet and Wellens alongside one another.

The mutual respect is obvious to see.

It’s an interesting omission isn’t it? Big close season signing, big wage. Left out of the biggest game of the year for a kid who even the most loyal saints fans would describe - at best - as ‘solid’. 

[StandOffHalf]

Really bad offside kick chase by the Wigan middles there.

So he was simply left out? That really surprises me. Wardle vs Hurrell however, scares me. 

[bratman]

Poor start from both teams

[Old Frightful]

Legs above the horizontal there, only marginal but rules is rules!

But no penalty?

[Old Frightful]

A bit early for Harry Smith to start sh*thousing isn't it?
