I'm biting here, probably because I've had a few drinks. But why don't you just go away with your smug nonsense, especially considering that I could bring up several of your nervous and obsessed posts in the few days prior to the game?

Feel lucky that you haven't been banned like you would have with the same posts (Saints fan) had been on Cherry and White, and celebrate your victory without being the clown that you are on here. Enjoy.

Be careful Saddo your getting positive there

They blew us off the park in those opening twenty-five minutes and we didn't recover from that. Potter's post-match comments pretty much summed up the match for us.

"We burned a lot of energy in the first 20 minutes. I wouldn't say it was won or lost then but it certainly contributed. It's hard to pull back a hefty score and against a quality team it makes it double hard.

[i"Even though we did make some breaks, we probably forced a couple of balls and made some uncharacteristic errors. I thought up until 10 minutes from the end we were still in the game. We just needed something to go our way and it didn't happen tonight but I don't want to take anything away from how well Wigan performed."[/i

They will be a formidable outfit next year with Hoffman and Finch in their line up but after that it will be dependent upon who they have following Maguire. NRL clubs are going to be sniffing around him after next year so maybe Shaun Wane will get the job and he is British which means it will probably be a dip in quality for them at some point during his tenure i.e. when the game goes beyond what Maguire taught him.

Well said, Potter's comments are spot on really.

If Wane does take over in a couple of years as you would expect, what would be stopping Wane from going along with the evolution of the sport? You say it like he can't think for himself.

I know it's not the same level but his reserves team were far more dominant than this first team before he probably ever spoke to Maguire.

Wane is a great coach himself. Maguire often states how big an influence people like him and Mark Bitcon have had. Bitcon is the reason the team has been in such good state all year and Wane is the reason our forwards don't look like powerpuff girls anymore.

I think basically what he means is the game evolves in Aus and we follow suit (normally a few years behind). Occasionally a team (Wigan in this case) get a forward thinking/on the ball Aussie coach over who jumps an English team a couple of years ahead of the rest.

Erm...

totally deluded

there for the taking ?? what game did you see ?

save for a few short periods through the game , wigan controlled it

50/50 chance of winning ? yes of course , there was only 2 teams playing =#FF0000KNOCK OFF THE INSULTS CLETUS. Carlos.


we basically did to you what we did to leeds the previous week , but in the end the score did flatter you

You controlled the game and we never looked like winning, however, we did have a couple of chances that we bombed, if we score one of those, its a different game IMO, and we would have been in with a shout of winning the game. It wasn't to be, and we didn't deserve it.

IF . that very little big word


2 trys scratched off , 4? shots at goal missed = 16 points further infront

we could go on all day with IF

Correct we could and its all pointless now, but the point still stands, if Saints had got one bounce of the ball or took one of those chances, they'd have been well in the game.
