That looked like Potter's Saints. We were clueless close to the line, and effectively relied on offloads and individual acts of genius. The actual passing moves were truly painful to watch, being slow and entirely one-way, making it easy for the Wigan defence. We only have one player who can actually manufacture a move to break the defence, and that's Pryce. Without him, we rely on other teams making mistakes. Fortunately for us, the pies made just enough mistakes tonight. I think tonight showed convincingly that if it comes down to it, better to spend the cash on Pryce than on Eastmond.

With a fully fit Richards/Fielden/Roberts/Deacon it wouldn't have been

The Saints pressure over the first 3/4 of the game wore Wigan out and so they had to resort to holding down / lying on and general spoiling tactics which (quite rightly) resulted in penalties to Saints.
After a dodgy start Saints could and should have won it.

CONRATS SAINTS. Never thought I'd bring myself to say that haha. Don''t know why though because I were pulling for you lot.

I am genuinely pleased you got something out of the game, one because you bursted Wigans bubble, and two because you deserved to get back into it after that balls up concerning the drop out.

The only bubble that burst today was yours!

Nice to know you were 'pulling'

and you should have never been in a position for your second, when eastmond chipped and clearly knocked on, instead given against hoff. refs make mistakes. you had pryce and perry out, 2 key players, we had no pat, amos, finch, fielden. both sides look strong, and after the games so far are the teams to beat this year.

'Bursted' thats not even a word !!!!! thought the eastmond knock on that led to saints second try balanced that bad call by silverwood !!!

Get shut of Eastmond NOW!!!! He is taking the pi** I can name 5 good players Wello, Graham,. Roby, Puletua and Soliola. The rest are taking the bloody mick, Stealing a living!!!!

Tad harsh on the likes of Wilkin, Shenton, LMS etc.

Sorry man. I will make sure all posts from now on are positively FLAWLESS for you. No, not really, the Eastmond knock on was hard to spot and an excusable mistake, the drop out situation however was clear, Wellens had the ball out in the field of play, we all saw that one even without the replays.

Shenton and LMS, I will give us time with them 2, but Wilkin

I think Wilkin really puts in the effort for you lot, he's a dirty git, but he puts a lot into his game from what I can see.

Flannery?

He wasn't technically out. He is just so average they forgot about him and left him at the services on the way down by mistake.
