Incidentally not watched the game on sky yet, but it was apparent early on how strong the wind was, and a huge advantage attacking towards the away end. Lance kicked early a few times second half which I thought established us some field position and got us a foot hold in the match before Soliola's try.

Saints have come back in recent games from playing just plain rugby, nothing fancy and that may be the case for a while until confidence is fully back and when Brown takes over and he shapes the team with his tactics, that's nothing to be shamed of.

Wigan had players missing too... Funny no one remembers that. We lost Pat Richards during the game.. Sts were beaten by a better team .. End of

This thread is about Saints' performance if you want to talk about Wigan's start another thread.

Watching your drastic tactics of booting it dead on the 2nd tackle over and over again was very entertaining

I take it you'll be dropping the "entertainers" tag now will you, trade descriptions and all that.....

What sort of entertainers have a 60% loss ratio at their home ground?

I thought it was a poor tactic from Saints kicking on the third and forth looking to gain field position. It was almost like saying to Wigan "we can't compete with you in the forwards so we'll have to try this". Problem was you were still making so few meters in 3 or 4 plays that you were often kicking from within your own 30, and to add insult to injury they were poor kicks backed up by a lackluster chase.

I think the worst thing from Saints yesterday offensively, were the laughable panic ridden ends to sets on the Wigan line. At least twice during a period of Saints dominance the end to set's was fluffed.

This. Headless chickens I think is the phrase. We had no one out there who would stand up and be counted and considering we had a World Cup Winner in our team it is, frankly, frightening!!

You really have made a rod for your own back, you self-styled "Entertainers"...

Come on guys we have to suck it up, it's always the way after a derby. But thankfully we have the oppertunity to turn this result around pretty quickly in terms of form on monday and in terms of getting back at wigan in a month.

exactermundo, only a month til we can get revenge!

Clowns?
