Yes, especially in the 1st half. We certainly had the better of the territory.

I wouldn't say our forward dominated yours as such but we more than matched yours and IMO we have the best pack in super league.

I've been saying the exact same as blobby, we just dint have enough attack in our backs. People keep saying wello is the main problem and I'd agree but it's not only him, Jamie fosters kick returns are not much better abaci can't think of the last time foster beat a man.

We are not that far off Wigan and Warrington but need to find some good attacking backs.

Foster does return the ball with a bit of pace though and he more than makes up for it with his finishing ability and goal kicking. He's also durable and pretty reliable in defence.

that was down to penalties and handling errors. Our forwards were awesome in defense in the first 30 mins and we had no possession, defensively hammering your pack and doing the hard work when called upon.

Do you ever expect him to beat a man on his kick returns?

I'm a stand off and im our kicker, I'd kick deep either to wello or foster because they offer no threat with the ball. I wouldn't even be to disappointed if the kick went straight down eithers throat.

Foster does have time on his side and might break line more as he fills out.

But we still dominated you in the first half. We just couldn't turn that into points.

I thought we were in a better position to kick in the 1st half than you were. Alot of our kicks found space, whereas alot of yours were caught on the full because you were kicking from deep and we were hitting the half way line with ease at times. To not take advantage of our dominance cost us the game in the end.

The big question tho my loved one, why couldn't we turn it in to points?

Wigan tackled well but even the best defence in the works crumbles with that much defending on their on line and that much pressure.

Like I said. You got territory and possession from dropped balls and penalties. Your forwards did nothing with either and neither did your backs.

The forwards weren't our problem yesterday, it was the backs not taking the chances.

Our forwards definitly dominated, you were probably looking at Graham and Roby who were targeted. Meanwhile Tony P, Flannery, Soliola and Moore made plenty of half breaks and momentum, unfortunately the Wigan defence were impressive in defending the last 10 mins.

Our lateral passing across the back line was poor, so you were correct on that one.

I,m just wondering if Eastmond had played if that would have pepped up our backline, we will never know.

Makinson looked to have some pace on him, but Saints just never went right. Whether this was because they were targeting Deacon/J Tomkins/Charnley or avoiding Finch/Carmont/Richards I'm not certain.

Charnley also made Meli look pedestrian in defence a few times, his two breaks both came from Meli getting turned inside out.
