I personally couldn't care less who you had playing or didn't, we took the two points and put us 4 clear of the 2013 conquering Wigan team. Injuries are part and parcel of rugby. I'm sure you'll play us when we are plagued by injury.
It's about beating what's in front of you, we can't control who plays or doesn't for the other team.'"
Absolutely Pete, couldn't agree more. I think it's the people trying to say Wigan didn't have players missing that's getting a bit ridiculous though. I can't actually believe someone dismissed Farrell because he was banned rather than injured so doesn't count as missing from the team!
Someone saying Clubb or Pettybourne are also borderline because they're maybe not as good as Amor is almost as bad too. WTF has that got to do with anything?
Whichever way you look at it Wigan had at least 6 missing from the first choice 17 and several more first call reserves. As you say though, tough titties..that's Rugby League (alright I may have paraphrased a little there! haha). Saints took the opportunity to show some steel and I think that's what the fans were looking for. I'll add my congratulations on a good performance and fine win too. As I've said elsewhere; it'll be interesting to see what happens the next time the teams meet. Should be a cracker!
