WIGAN WARRIORS VS ST HELENS PREDICTION
Although Wigan Warriors have enjoyed a significantly better season than their biggest rivals so far, the absence of Bevan French evens this one out somewhat. Such a quality attacking player will continue to be a huge miss for Matty Peet’s side, who were thrashed 30-4 by Leeds Rhinos last time out.
St Helens have underachieved all campaign but are starting to build a bit of momentum following consecutive wins. The opportunity to knock off the Warriors adds further fuel to the fire and with French out, they stand an excellent chance. Expect a physical encounter with plenty of needle, but for the Saints to just about edge it.
