On the 64 minute point when Riley scored to make it 22 - 6, our team 'eased' off and started to save their bodies for the Wigan game on Saturday, that was plain to see. I didn't want them to do that because I wanted more tries scored. If after the Riley try was scored TS had sent out the message 'go get them' we would have probably won by 20 points or more.

What a dreadful performance. Forwards got battered. No imagination. Just a series of predictable one up drives that warrington coped with ease.

We have been on a good run, albeit with a bit of good fortune thrown in (widnes and catalan spring to mind), but we looked a class apart from Warrington last night.

Well at least three of those penalties were for high tackles. Either way a 5 - 1 penalty count in Saints favor shows indiscipline from Wire. Unfortunately Saints lacked the quality to do anything with extra ball and field position gained.

The amount of possession Wire had in contrast to Saints is irrelevant when it's comes to giving away penalties. Just because Wire had more possession doesn't mean they had to give away more penalties. Quite the opposite. Saints were chasing the game, struggling to make any great inroads into the Wire defense. It should have been Saints who gave away the the penalties through frustration and fatigue. Wire were in complete and utter control until roughly the 25 minute when indiscipline crept in.

Oh yes, what we wouldn't do for Josh Perry to replace Gaz Carvell, Wilkin to push ou Westwood and Paul Clough to displace Chris Hill.

*sigh*

Absolutely this, and a couple of the dubious calls disallowing try's would have given the scoreline a more realistic margin.

I recall Briers kicking to the corner with 15 to go lilke he was running down a
'2 minute clock'. Obviously the team or TS had decided enough was enough save some for Saturday tea time

As a complete set of 10 I'd take our first choice lineup over anybody else's at the moment when they turn up to play, and one-eyed clueless Wire fans drunk on success arguing over a couple of the players out of that 10 doesn't change that one iota.

Ah I thought you was talking about those 3 cases.

Also, 10?

Edit: Forwards and subs?

More banter? From what I can gather, with your quote re Saints having the best pack in SL, most other Saints fans think you're even more one-eyed and clueless than we are.

What's the matter dear? Your bridge getting draughty? Go and hassle some other poor sod with your pointless inanity instead.

With regards to "inanity", what is the point of having a my pack's better than your pack 'debate'?

To then questioning someone from an opposing view is beyond inanity it borders insanity, as we would surely back the majority of our own players especially from two top teams. The same could be said of a bit of banter with Wigan, but I'm not sure if you would have the same discussion on the Widnes board for example?

Saints pack so much better that it was totally dominated and we didn't even have two first choice forwards playing.
Go figure
