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 |

| According to todays League Express the game is at Blackbrook on Friday 7 p.m. , but on Wigan web site it is at Langtree Park on Thursday 5:30 p.m. It's 2nd v 1st so should be a good game to watch. I was very surprised to see Saints lose heavily at Leeds over the weekend, Leeds have been very poor this season, but it could be that they have got some of their better players back from injury and/or dual reg.

| A good win for Wigan academy U19's, coming back from 16 - 0 down after 20 minutes to win 16 - 23. I'll bet Liam (Brucie) Forsyth is a happy lad. Saints binned him a couple of years ago and tonight he scored the match clinching try.

Ditched him? I thought he was only on a 1 year deal, went to Australia then came back and signed for yourselves after his deal expired as you offered him more. He's not been at Saints much either. He was a scholar at Warrington before signing that 1 year deal at ourselves along with big Ross.

No, told by Derek Traynor that he wasn't being offered a contract, but could stay on a pay as you play basis. Wigan offered him a trial and after a three or four games offered him an academy contract. He reminds me of Joe Burgess when he was younger and he's got a bit of "devil" in him.

Surprising really, I've said it before but thought he was one of the two best centres at that age group along with Gildart from this side of the Pennines. Surprising to see Fleming get first team rugby before both, even if it is through injuries.

| Never rated Forsyth. Was decent playing for a great Bold team but not a star in any shape or form.

Top player, and one of the reasons for that great Bold team. The lad's going places.

| Saints where by far the best team in the first half. Wigan's first try shouldn't have been given due to a knock on in the build up. It wasn't picked up by the ref though. That try gave them a lift going into the dressing room.
Saints didn't play well in the second half at all. Had chances but didn't take them. We missed Morgan Knowles when he went off with concussion. Got to praise Wigan though because they upped their game in the second 40 and took their opportunities.
The semi finals are pretty much sorted out now. It will be Wigan vs Warrington and Saints vs Hull FC. Saints haven't lost to Hull this season but the last time the goons played Warrington, wire came out on top.

Do you not think Wigan missed Jack Wells who went off in the first minute?

| Wigans best player was their number 6, he ran everything for them and he was a decent goal kicker as well, saints half backs were poor and over reliant on the big props who tired at the end. There's not much between the two teams from what I've seen

| Sounds like Saints are trying to get the kids to play like the first team...
