I believe so. Derby game and the Warriors get the Saints at a pretty good time IMO. Saints coming into this game after their big win at Headingly last weekend in the Challenge Cup are in the middle of a pretty hectic schedule for them as they also have to play against Hull on Easter Monday. That's 3 quality opposition in the space of 8 days. They are also pretty banged up at the moment, Long, Cayless and Flannery all out for tonight. Wellens playing but is basically on one leg.
Only concern for me is the way Wigan played against Barrow on Sunday, from all reports they were shocking even though they missed a couple of players. Still worth taking a shot at home IMO with some coins on the ML @ +225
Wigan +8 over Saints
Looking forward to seeing how Gleeson goes for the Warriors tonight
With you boys, but with a few points (+12.5). Whilst the Saints dominated this derby in '08, i'm confident that a sold out JJB and the Warriors will be fired - means a lot to their season. Yeh, it's been a poor start but the Warriors played well against Huddersfield - won the forward battle, were in it for 70mins but Brownies men took the points. Hoping they were just complacent against the B-plonkers over in France - got the win there anyway. The Saints have a short turnaround (yeh, same turnaround for the Warriors, but they didn't play Leeds!). GL boys, and best wishes for Easter.
The trend this season has been whenever a team has been facing some kind of adversity for on field performances they invariably have managed to turn it around the following week. Which makes me hesitant laying the points with the Dragons against the Eels, a team that again they have not had too much success with in recent seasons.
I still believe the Eels don't have much of a chance tonight, I mean you can't just take away your number 7 on the eve of a game and expect the team to click in attack. Only positive for the Eels is that Hayne moves into centre. So going to pass on this one.
