I thought some of the tries we scored to get us within two we're out of this world stuff. Towards the end we had to force it a little and we had a few things go wrong, i.e Monas kick on the first for King and Solomona going off who was causing havoc. Wigan were clinical in their eventual execution of us. Proud of Wire today and gave us a little glimpse to the future. Silverwood was awful as per, but I expect no less. Tomkins is a world class player and by far the best english player in SL. Wigan are a champion side and would be a worthy winner of taking our title as challenge cup.

I know you've won the Grand Final, but alot of Wiganers have got very cocky recently. One Wiganer I know has predicted Wigan to win the WCC and Grand Final easily and another has tipped Wigan to beat us by 40 in Cardiff.'" Who's said that?
I think we have got the best squad in the comp which noone can argue with but to say it's a cert is stupid
Wigan
Hudd
Wire
Leeds?
I really think cunningham going will screw you men no direction at all dont get me wrong roby is good but he's not a leader i really think you will be mid table this season

Given that Simmons was an international hooker I don't foresee too many problems for us in that area especially with our two front line options, Roby (surely one of the top five British players around) and Moore.

It will take time for roby to adapt to the changes IF any are made to his game he's been in top flight rugby for quite a few years now so will be hard
Moore i rated him more at hudd mabye with cunningham and roby the main 2 last season he will come on with more game time this season

| Roby doesn't have to make that many changes to his game. He's a fantastic all round player and is in the top 3 or 4 hookers in world rugby. Scott Moore needs to step up though and now has no excuse as he'll get more of a run at 9 than alst year.

I agree with both points my main point is roby is not a leader full stop he's a very good hooker but cant control a game like cunningham did
Pryce is hit and miss good one min shy away the next i really think your direction round the pitch is what will screw you plus you need to sort your goal kicking out

| If i were a Saints fan i would be worried you were beat on monday quite easy by a team who played prety poor on the night plus Saints had more of the ball due to the heavy penalty count against the Giants and you still could not open them up, and not only that the Giants attacking play was quite poor if there combinations had been beter they would have scored more points.

Well I can speak for myself and yes I am worried about MM, not so much about the season as I think we will still be up there due to the winning mentality within the squad. But I am apprehensive of an embarrasment at MM, only time will tell I guess.

I'm not.
I doubt we'll be swapping around wingers, centres and halves, starting without a kicker and only playing a scrum half for 30 minutes against Wigan.
We may well get beaten, I very much doubt we'll be embarrassed though. I actually quite fancy us.

Indeed. We've got the most balanced squad we've had since 2006, and we can't possibly have as bad a year of injuries as last time round. Barring some kind of negative dressing room reaction to the new coach I can't see any reason why we won't finish in the top 4 and give Wigan a hell of a game at MM. In fact, we should realistically be aiming to finish top and win silverware.

If you follow the boys on Twitter it seems that Fozzard was a real negative person to have in the team and especially Wilkin is liking the fact he's not around.
Can't wait to see them two against each other this year.
