Going over later today for what should be a good afternoon's entertainment.

Hoping for a Warriors win, but not too sure of success.

Anyone else going ?

In what universe can you back Wigan

I'll be driving passed around lunch time. However I'll not be going. Probably catch the last 30 minutes on TV. This season was always going to be transitional for the Warriors, but I don't think anyone could have predicted how poor it would pan out. Don't think the 2 point penalty helped on the eve of the new season. Factor in all the other off field drama's. The Warriors are still too reliant on Sean O'Loughlan. Great as he is he's 36 and when he's not playing their like a rudderless ship. Today reminds me somewhat of a similar situation back in the early noughties. That day, think it was 2003 ish, they fielded a very young side against a very strong Saints side and beat them against all the odds. Let's hope for the same today, although I'm not holding my breath. It will also be an emotional day, being the voice of Rugby Leagues last game. Eddie Hemmings, has been a top, top commentator and broadcaster for decades and he will be sorely missed. Have a happy retirement Eddie.

Echo the sentiments re Eddie. Brilliant commentator.

Saints win though.

Warriors always raise their game against saints though.

Blistering start by saints.
6 nil up after 6 minutes

And Wigan back in it after 10

6-4 Saints.

Ouch.

Hope the Wigan,player is ok. That looked painful.

Is he as good as Eddie Waring?

Better

10-4 saints try. Conversion narrowly missed

Saints penalty
12-4

Broken tib and fib for Tom Davies

Saints score another try

16-4

Brilliant conversion from wide

18-4

This is what I love about rugby league.

Wigan look dead and buried.

All of a sudden poor high kick by saints, Wigan counter and score under posts.

Should be 18-10 after conversion.

Off out . Hoping saints can dominate 2nd period

A very one-sided 2nd half, Wigan were not at the races and are looking a poor team at present, Saints very impressive.

Gutted I missed the 2nd half.

36-10 is a fair old beating

4 pt clear at the top.

Wigan to be relegated this year ??
