Another tough derby!

SAINTS came through last Friday's encounter at Widnes with a clean bill of health, and coach Ian Millward expects to name the same 17 for Saturday's home game with Warrington. (6pm).

Saints have traditionally given the Wolves a licking at Knowsley Road, but Millward was not being complacent.

He said: "Warrington are taking the game very seriously. They rested two of their key players last week, Briers and Forshaw, with this game in mind.

"Paul Cullen wants his side to have a real crack at us - and it is a local derby. Hopefully the high scoring continues our way."

Although Saints crushed Wolves 50-20 the week after the Challenge Cup final, Millward was not counting any chickens.

"Warrington are a top six side now and with a front row of Danny Lima, Chris Leikvoll, Mark Hilton and Paul Wood, they are very strong.

"They are a tough pack to play against, but all that I ask is that my players carry on putting in the effort that they are currently putting in.

"They are unbelievable. It is very exciting, but we have to make sure we don't fall in love with the way we are playing and carry on raising the bar," he said.
