The quater final when Charnley made Hodgson look like a turnstyle.

| Quote: SaintsFan "But we still dominated you in the first half. We just couldn't turn that into points.'" You dominated possession not us. When you have so much possession you really need to put points on the board because sure as chips is chips, it will eventually swing back. I'd go so far as to say, had Wigan had the amount of possession you had, we'd have scored more than 30.

Yes Charnley is hopeless defensively, like watching a high school winger at times, good point.

Joel came out of the line for the first then took them both to stop Meli for the second.....hardly defensively poor.

Just wrong mate. Charnley came in off his wing like a 10 year old.

| I've said all season that Charnley's defensive partnership with Joel is a huge liability. He doesn't seem to have the confidence or the communication to stick to his wing. But my god, I can almost forgive him for that weakness as long as he keeps scoring tries like he has the last few weeks. After all, his defense can improve (and slowly is doing, I think).

| Only read the first page of the thread so it may have been mentioned already but re. Wigan being 'lucky' with injuries, has it occured to you that perhaps we are the fittest and best conditioned side in SL?
It's no secret how hard a pre-season the Wigan lads have gone through for the past few years, or how highly rated our fitness staff are.
I find it amazing the number of injuries other teams (including and indeed especially Saints) get that aren't necessarily the result of a contact sport, but more of players not being in good enough condition to participate at the highest level. Muscle and ligament injuries are a prime example.

I was just shocked that he did that. I thought Wello had a very poor game yesterday given that he had a very good game last week. I was disappointed in him.

I think some of shouting and frustration he was taking out on the ref was brought on by his own performance.

I agree with that and providing he continues to score super tries; madge and co can always work on his defence which is pretty poor as you say especially in combination with a centre who isn't a centre.
