| He made it worse when he took Foster off by putting Pryce at centre - he was worse and doesn't have the excuse of inexperience. At least Foster tried!
He should have put wello at centre, pryce at F/B or even moore at centre and pryce at S/O.

Scott Moore is pi55 poor,not good enough where as Wheeler does at least have a bit of class.

| It was the right decision to bring Foster off. He looked way out of his depth as he did against Leeds, when they scored 3 down that side.
You cant be sentimental about these things, he isn't ready yet. He'll need to go out on loan at some stage soon IMO.

I have hope... Because I have faith in Saints: |
|
| Give the lad a break!!
He's 19. He's played 2 SL games and he's expected to go in at centre and do the same job as a Gidley? It was the wrong decision by Potter to put him in at centre, or if there is no one else put Gardner, Foster together and Lomax and Gidley.
In 2 years time when Lomax, Foster and Wheeler are playing a more regular position in the squad, when they've bulked up a bit, when they're playing in their right position - judge them then. Not when their coach has put two inexperienced players on one side, any team that does that then it's always going to be a recipe for disaster.
Same goes for Scott Moore - don't judge him now when he's being expected to play in a unfamiliar positions, judge him next year when he's playing regular hooker!!

You are going down Rashad!!: |
|
| It will be a test of charachter for Foster this, but at the end of the day, the blame has to lie with Potter. When the team was announced with a flank of Lomax, Foster and Dixon you just knew what was going to happen. I could see it, my mates could see it, my dog could see ,my dead gran could see it and if rumours are to believed, the senior players were absolutely fuming with Potter when he announced the team.
You need a coach you respect. I dont for one minute believe he has the full respect of the changing room one bit.

39110_1363272058.jpg Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go

Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

Does a no frills job of filling in on the wing when injuries demand it, and he's let no-one down there.
Clearly not ready for the step to the centre berth at that level though.

Probably the right time to start blooding him and letting him make these mistakes.
He needs a loan spell and a bit of time to fill out.

he wouldnt be in team if any of Soliola, Wheeler, Dean, Flannery and Meli were fit - they are not, so we are down to the bones of the squad.
I've not seen the SKY replay, but I assume that Eddie & Stevo were as sympathetic to Saints injury plight as they were to Leeds earlier this year?

Dont think they mentioned it to be honest.
Meli, Flannery, Wheeler, Fa'asavalu, Dean, Soliola, im pretty sure 5/6 of those would be in the first team if they weren't injured.
But we aren't the Whinos so it wouldn't get mentioned.

Wilkin too.
Bottom line is, though, that we had a threadbare squad against Leeds too but went out and played like we meant it. We looked like we didn't want to be there on Saturday - that had more of an impact on the result than injuries.
Poor attitude (with a couple of notable exceptions) and we got what we deserved.

| It wasn't particularly relevant. We didn't get beaten by a side outplaying or overpowering us.
Sure the first couple of tries came from our inexperienced duo of Foster and Lomax missing tackles, pretty horrifically it has to be added. Despite Foster being out of position and drowning, Lomax had two one on one tackles that would have shut out the first couple of tries and they just went over him like he was a speed bump.
The majority of the rest of the tries came from stupid individual errors. I can only think of the Gibson and Broughton tries where there were genuine moves put on us. The majority I can remember were from pretty poor kicks that we made totally unforced errors from. Even Broughton's try saw yet another embarassing attempt at a tackle from Wellens.
Despite how shocking we were with the ball, we should still have won that game and even if we were full strength I don't see how that would stop Wellens and Gardner gifting them about 24 points.
