PRICE'S PREVIEW

Steve Price: "It's going to be a really tough test. It's a game which we're excited for and we know that they're a quality team. I think if you take out the Castleford game, the boys have been playing some good football, so we're in for a cracking game.

"We're just worried about what we can control and that's growing our game and our performance. I'm not too concerned about where they are going to be at and whether a rest will help them or not I'm not quite sure so it's important for us to just keep gaining confiedence from the things that the boys have been doing really well lately.

"They're a quality team who are defensively sound but we're number one in the competition on points scored so we feel there are a couple of areas that we would like to exploit and build off the back of. We're going to have to be good for a full 80 minutes but it's a game that we're really looking forward to."

PLAYER'S PERSPECTIVE

Blake Austin: “I think the left edge of most teams is their strongest these days. We have our work cut out for us each week. Jonny Lomax is key for them and if you can negate a little bit of what he does then then it’ll go a long way to helping the team. The homework’s been done and we’ve got all the answers there, we’ve just got to go out there and deliver.

“Saints and Wigan are the two top teams so you’re always in for a big game. It’s a shame that we’re not going to have a full house for this one and it will be a majority of Saints fans there - they’ll be making it as hostile as possible. There is something special about these games which the game has over here and it’s great that we can have these sorts of derbies.

“What determines a headline fixture is the table. Saints and Wigan are always in the top four and we’re always there or there abouts so will all them teams being up there, it just makes it more interesting that they are in a stone’s throw of each other.”
