ON-SONG stand off Jonny Lomax is never short of attention when it comes to the opposition trying to neutralise Saints' attacking threat.

And he has been singled out publicly by Warrington Wolves half back Blake Austin ahead of tomorrow's derby tussle at the Totally Wicked Stadium.

Austin identified his opposite number as the chief danger to his side's hopes of a fourth-successive league win.

"Lomax is the key," he said. "If you can negate a chunk of him, it will go a long way to helping the team out.

"The homework has been done."

Traditionally the game is one that generates the loudest noise the terraces - but with crowd limitations still in place it will just be Saints voices being heard.

"It's a shame we're not going to have a full house and I'm sure the Saints fans will make it as hostile as possible.

"It's definitely a good concept over here, having the derbies," Austin said.
