3076_1671446335.jpg SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

| Wigan won 40 - 22 in a scrappy game. Both sides made a lot of mistakes.
Amos Roberts played at fullback, so I guess he won't be playing on Monday.
Carberry, Russell and Crowe stood out for Wigan. I didn't get a team sheet but Saints no.11 had a very good game and was by far their best player.
Nathan Ash must infuriate the Saints coaching staff., he does many good things but his decision making again today was very poor, he made a beautiful break, had men either side and he kicked. Luckily for him the referee gave a penalty from which Saints scored.
As I said the Saints 11 was superb, and ran his blood to water.

| I have it as Anthony Walker (No. 10) but I'm not 100% as there were a few in the tackle.

| Went to this game today to watch as a neutral on a rare day off. I'm neither a Saints/Wigan fan so very much went to watch a good game and, at times, it didn't disappoint.
Wigan deserved the win being too strong in the last 15 mins for the very young Saints side.
What was disappointing was the attitude of the Wigan crowd. Now I'm used to Wigan fans believing that all refs are against their team but I heard one "fan" call a Saints guy a "d##k" when he dared to question a decision that went Wigan's way. This led to a bit of a strange atmosphere, almost like a stand-off at times then when Wigan started to stretch the score in the last 10 mins their "fans" started chanting "Easy, Easy".
This went too far and was well out of order. The game wasn't easy at all.
For years, I've always felt Wigan think they have a god given right to win, dominate and expect any decision to go their way. I've seen it creeping in even at Junior (U8s) upwards level.
Mark my words, one day, such chanting (Easy, Easy) will cause something to kick-off at a game that isn't stewarded.
This isn't just the case with Saints as opponents either, as last year I watched Warrington U20s beat Wigan very narrowly and late-on that caused uproar in the crowd.

| I went to the u20's game, 1st time at Orrell, the wigans fans were a disgrace in the stand, screaming saints were on steriods etc. - complete morons!!!
On the game Wigan had the edge throughout - Roberts quality shone through - Best for a very young saints were no6 no10 and no11 all three have the pedigree to step up to the mark in the future - No6 was quality at putting the lads in through some holes, No10 was unbeleivalbe in defence and attack, No11 ran great lines - Well done you three.
With some injuries in the 1st team maybe some of them may get a look in against sheffield!

anyone who has watched rugby back in the dark days when Wigan dominated (through being the only FTP team) will understand your point. I grew up surrounded by arrogant Wigan fans (Ashton used to be dominated by Goons), this slipped somewhat over recent years but it's now back in force. It's what made me chuckle when some of the younger fans on here started to feel sorry for Wigan when they were struggling , I bet that wont happen again if/when Wigan slip.

There were no chants of easy easy as this "neutral fan" claimed.
Or is he neutral or just not telling the truth.
See below.

I have seen this at recent GF games with Saints and Leeds and also at Wembley with Saints and Hull fans (yes - I am Saints fan). I'm not picking on any named team either, all clubs have their idiots especially when beer is freely available - Saints more than many!

This!
People around me felt sorry for them after the 75-0 game, especially as they had shipped 70 the week before.
I told them to not be stupid and that a foot should always be kept across their throat when they were down.
RL fans are fortunate that the internet was not so readily available (if at all) when Wigan were in their pomp, because they would have been a 1000 times more unbearable than they are now.

What has that to do with something that didn't happen being posted about a game on Saturday (which was the original topic) by a fan who in one post claims to be neutral and in another claims to be a Saints fan.
