I think the only way we could have got away with it more is if Wire had dropped the ball over the line with a match winning try begging.

I'm not denying that, we've acknowledged that and bounced back with two fairly comfortable wins. All I was saying is that if Warrington had any structure to their attack in the game on Friday they would have beaten you IMO. Same happened with Wigan at the HJ, they dominated possession and territory but could not score enough points. Wigan and Saints have both been lucky against Warrington this year IMO.

By the way, I'm sure you said you couldn't make it to the match on Friday, so how would you know how the game went?  |

were we both lucky, or can they just not rise to the better teams? FTV has noted that the only decent side they have beaten all year is Hudds. |

I assume there are no radios/match reports/highlights/families/friends in your world?
I live hundreds of miles from Knowsley Road, doesn't mean I have no way of knowing how we played or how a match developed. Perhaps when you're old enough to have a job, you might miss games too.
Warrington have now played 3 good teams, and lost to 2 of them.

Right ok, and have a job?  I'm 23 and have a job  But, anyway, back on topic as you seem to have missed the point. Don't get me wrong I actually wanted Saints to win on Friday, but I genuinely feel that if Warrington showed something in the attacking 20 they would have won that game, of course my opinion, you have yours. That is all i was saying, I wasn't saying Saints were a poor team. And yes, you're correct about Warrington playing 3 Good teams and losing 2. Look forward to Good Friday. |

Appreciate that, but having something to offer in the final 20 is part and parcel of being a top side. And doing it under pressure, even more so. Wire have come up short twice in the sense so far this year.

Too right. I'm going to that one so will be allowed to comment.  |

to be fair...against Wigan we were well on top and on course to beat them when Briers got carried off....and against you Briers didn't even play.
I wonder how Saints would fair against us or Wigan if the same were to happen to Eastmond?

Well, we had to play the second half with Kyle at full back and Roby at scrum half when Wellens left the field, so it was hardly plain sailing. At least you had settled halves for the 80 . . . . |

That's a good question as he's really developing well. However, we do have back up halfbacks so while it is likely that things would not be as good, we would probably cope. |

Come on, be honest, when has Briers [iever[/i played well against Saints? He usually bottles it...........when he isn't "injured"........... |

Something like last year when we lost Longy and played a second row at scrum half and beat Leeds in the CC?  |

| Quote: Codarmysaint "We will beat wigan easily.
People are thinking that Mcguire has somehow suddenly turned an average playing roster into a world class one. Our pack is twice their pack and our halfbacks are streets ahead in terms of skill and form. You can argue on paper their backs are stronger and in Roberts and Richards have the 2 best wingers in the league, but our backs are as solid as a rock in defense.
It will be over by the 60 minute mark.'"
I can't bear posts like that. |
