In honor of the first derby of the season, i will be relaxed in my view of trolling this week ( until the game). A great build up week involves winding each other up a bit to me so have fun!

Visting wigan fans will be amazed to visit the countries largest and best dedicated RL stadium, wholly owned by the mighty Saints unlike our poor tenant neighbours!

So long as we get the first shot in eh!!!

Apart from owing some un-named banker around £6 million (at unknown rates), and the taxman, then I suppose you are right. The small Screwfix Stadiun on anus way.

Is that good enough to get the mood going?

indeed!



and this isnt a free pass, just want everyone to enjoy the usual banter on the build up to the greatest derby of them all!

That's the spirit!
Now explain how all of your players and U20's are better than all of ours in every way and ours have all supported wigan since they were feotus's

I like un-named bankers, they tend not to want to hog the headlines and just want a return on their investment. Think the money owed has been converted to shares anyway, so payback will be via dividends.

Some of it has but not the £3 million loaned by Eamonn's buddy in Singapore. I would imagine he will want that back!

Do you really think Saints will make enough money to pay dividends?

Has a sporting club ever (in the world) paid one?

Exactly my point, capital investments are not repayable unless profits are made. However, I certainly hope we do turn profits.

A big week ahead. We've both played the upstart Wolfs (and if we'd shown the sort of composure you did we'd have beaten them too...) but now it's time for THE derby.

As someone who made his first visit to KR before the SL era, I've seen Wigan win in St Helens many times and I'm hoping that record of superiority will continue in the Trailer Park era.

I'm sure it will be a fantastic atmosphere. Let's hope the roof stays on...

Any stato's out there know what the Win's and losses are between the 2 clubs since Superleague

Its pretty close. I think we took the lead during Potter's tenure, but perhaps they've clawed it back in the last couple of seasons.

Hope they are not holding their breath then! LOL when did any Super League club ever make large profits? is it the only dedicated RL stadium still not finished? LOL

Feel sure it will be a good game whoever win, just Hope it is not another 46-42 scoreline, Super League is starting to become more and more like ITV's Saturday afternoon wrestling with Ken Walton! now when was that? LOL

"will continue in the Trailer Park era."

i read that at first as taylor park............................

Plenty.
The C&W board reckon Mossop will definately play, which is a shame for us.
Richards missing could be the difference as Charnley's kicking seems a little wayward.

Absolutely pathetic. He should stick to throwing barrels down the field to stop our boys.

Liam Farrell is playing
Ben Flower is playing
Mike McIlorum is playing
Thomas Leuluai is playing
Sean O’Loughlin is playing
Pat Richards is playing

Mossop probably will too.

I out and out do not believe Sam Tomkins has tonsilitis either. If he has, having contracted it after the Salford game, he would not play against Saints. You can bet your last wage packet that he will.

Rogues will no doubt come on and tell us the injuries are all genuine, but it's purely because they are scared.

According to Wigan fans he's the only one who will 'definitely' play.

I'm with you though, all WILL play.

Beware
Remember the Sore Big Toe.

The only doubt of those players for us is Flower. Sorry to disappoint!

Are you sure? On the Wigan forum you posted:



You are aware that you don't need to use the mind games on us? If Rush and KC believe any of Kong's ramblings in the press I'll be amazed.

I am pretty sure when Man U were a PLC prior to glazers etc they paid small dividends .

I fancy us. They've only got one player who can make breaks whereas we have a veritable nal of weapons. If we can stop Tomkins we'll be on our way.

If I was you I'd focus on stopping Hock, Finch and Tommy first. Tomkins apart from the odd run himself, plays off the back of these.
