well we've got an entire season of form and playing style/tactics to use to make a prediction
imo, the way wigan have played so far this season whilst being effective enough to get them where they are, isn't going to beat hull if hull play their this season game.
it is a semi, play off, one off game whatever you want to call it, in that respect anything can happen, but the season say's it ain't a 50/50 game.
I'm gonna have to give wigan 12 start

A few months good form vs years of big game experience.

I hope you haven't booked your Wembley ticket yet chief.

I couldn't care less who wins the hull wigan semi.
As an observer, untainted by fannyisms for either club, I can only see a win for Hull, I'm giving Wigan 12 start, that's just my opinion based on the past 20 odd games and current form, you, sky, eddie and stevo or anybody else has a god given right to disagree with that if they want.
The tickets were booked along with the bus 3 months ago, on wanky wanes say so, so that's that.

A Saints fan in my extended family has just been trying argue that Sarg should be banned because "he shoved Swift into the advertising boards" and in his eyes "could have broken his neck". Nothing in that one for me, the pitch was slippy and both players running at speed. They're a soft bunch in St Helens!

That incident was a perfect example of the tactics teams are using against us currently which is to blow things out of proportion and to get in to the referee. It happened a good 4 or 5 times on Friday for nothing incidents and it was the same against Leeds.

The high pitched screams from the Saints end upon viewing the replay of the Tomkins high tackle was hillarious! A guy slips as he steps the full back and gets a gentle brush across the face but from the screams you'd think he'd took a chainsaw to him!! It was clearly a penalty but an absolute non starter in terms of it being malicious.

This is hilarious, you lot talking about 'getting' at the ref, even on sky they were saying Tomkins was trying to tell the ref how to do his job all the game and a couple of months ago didn't your manager send Bateman back on the pitch at half time to have words with the referee.

Thats what fans do in our sport...............little did we know at the time that Tomkins was going to provide many more hilarious moments during the game.

It's about time he gave you something back after the the numerous times he's ripped the pi*s out of you in the past.

You're right to enjoy it...... Whilst you can! We all know he's pulled your pants down countless times in the past and that this season was never gonna be his best after so long out with the injuries. I have not a single doubt in my mind that it won't be long before he tears you a new hole and laughs at you again.

Thats true, but he's a shadow of his former self these days. I can't see him getting legendary status compared to Radlinski for instance,

Perhaps he objected to being bitten all over his chest?

IF it's true that LMS bit him then that's ridiculous and even as a Saints fan I hope he gets a lengthy ban for it; however I am yet to see any evidence to prove he did bite him.
