SAINTS have to open well if they have any chance of taking the spoils on Friday.
That’s the view of James Roby who pointed to the poor start against Leeds as the main reason they lost the game.
“The start worked against us massively on Friday,” he said. “We didn’t come out of the blocks and were 16-0 down.
“We then started to play a bit better and up at the right end of the field. We completed our sets and attacked well.
“But it was poor for us to concede that try at half time as we had worked hard to get back into contention.
“We did well in parts in the second half but we were disappointed with the game.”
He continued: “Friday is a massive game and occasion for the players, coaches and the town as a whole.
When you’re about fans will tell you how much it means to win it and we’re all looking forward to it.
“Wigan have a way of playing and it works for them. They have a great team and fantastic players.
“Our job is to defend against that and score a few points.
“They have the best defence and we have to try and break them down.”
