MOM - Hock

Not officially signed yet

He has, but its not be made publix yet. Wait for the press conference this afternoon.

Gleeson will be a Wigan player, Mathers will be a Wire player.

Oh I know,

I seem to remember myself putting my neck on the line to say he'd be signing.

Re: Last Son of Wire if he doesn't?

Anyone who think wigan have a chance thursday are thicker than a pornstars lash.Saints by 30 no problem

Especially when they have a second rower doing a trent barrett impression!

Wigan win by 6

You heard it here first

i dont expect a win, i just want to see a bit of passion from 1-17 on the day and I will be happy, over the last two years we have took some real hidings of saints and that is down to lack of derby passion- the saints lads know what passion is. Maybe the presence of ainscough and sam will do us the world of good, and hopefully the sigining of gleeson regalvanises us.

weve played against saints with passion 3 times over the last 2 seasons- one time we narrowly lost at knowsley road 19-12, one time we beat them at the jjb in which was how wigan should play, and one we battled for a point! I want to feel how I did after these games, proud to be a wigan fan.

Hopefully noble trys to relax the lads this week and id personally tell them the pressure is off, wigan are not expected to win thursday night and saints are expected to steamroll us, we see the best of of wigan when we just play rugby, ie 2002 challenge cup final, lets be adventurous against them and go all out for the win!

Pretty bad how at this stage the majority of us would settle for a good performance rather than a win.
