Wigans defence has been outstanding this season although the way we have allowed teams to score try's late in the game and the second half performance at Bradford shows that there is room for improvement.

However our attack is also much improved over last season - players like Amos Roberts and Pat Richards have really benefited from some fine attacking moves.

Ironic that you should mention four players who were masters at unlocking a set and organised defence yet at the same time you are moaning about the slowing down of the play the ball. Wigan are playing within the rules and doing it very well. It's up to other teams to find a way of unlocking what has for the most part this season been a very competent defence. Unfortunately (for you) 5 scoots from dummy half or 5 quick flat pass forward drives and 60 easy metres isn't the way to do it because Wigan are organised and dominant enough not to let it happen.

As a previous poster said, it's usually a good sign when people are discussing your style of play as it must mean you are doing something right. As for spoiling the game, some of Wigan's attacking play this season has been a pleasure to watch. I'm the first to admit we still have room for improvement but harping on constantly about how we are ruining the game when we have outscored everyone this season smacks of sour grapes.

Mmm. They did brilliantly yesterday. Two tries for the whole of the match. Had you not been gifted penalty kicks by our kindly players, we would have nilled you in the second half. That's an astounding attack!

Oh, and had we not been so stupid with ball in hand, we would have scored when Meli went over the line (forward pass) and when Puletua did (no ball at all since he didn't catch it). That's twice more than you that we actually got over your line but we botched both attempts. And you had 13 men on the pitch on both occasions. That's how astounding your defence was (ie, no better than ours).

You should be thanking Saints that they couldn't get a decent bit of composure together for the whole match!

Iv read some bitter posts in my time, but that one takes some beating, well done. Read it in the papers, 18-10.

I haven't been watching RL long enough to care.

Remember the old saying, if your aunty had balls she'd be your uncle.
Ifs could haves and maybe's count for nothing.

Oh, totally. This is all just post-match discussion and what have you. Until the next match comes along with its attendant post-match discussion and what have you.

But I'd like to know whether Thaler has been told off for not sin binning your fullback for his professional foul against Wilkin.

And why did he not sin bin the Saints player for the professional foul following the O'Loughlin break?

Which one was that?

Glad you acknowledge the professional foul, anyway!

Put your dummy back in! THE most bitter poster EVER.

I haven't I don't believe Roberts moved. Have you watched the game again?

Iv just watched it back, and Roberts simply stood his ground, didn't move at all.

Correct, and Roberts should never have been sin binned. Pryce dummied the tap twice and then tapped it. Roberts then made the tackle.

I agree with Mugwump that we were on a warning and the next penalty in all probability would have been a binning, but you can't pre judge and bin someone for a non offence.
