| I've waited a few days for the euphoria of Thursday to calm down and for my feet to find terra firma before commenting on the match.
My take -
We won despite being under the kosh for long periods. It was our resilience in defence that won it.
To keep Saints to one try was top draw - even though I think Saints were a little off key. (I'd argue that was as much down to us as them).
Saints should have scored 2 tries after clean breaks but took the wrong option (not to pass).
At other times someone managed to hang on to their top or shorts. (Hughes and Hill in particular did that on a number of ocassions).
Thought Toby King had one of his best games for us and really handled Barba well.
Lineham got the majority of the credits which is a little unfair on others, but those 2 tries took some scoring. He looks so much more assured with Price. And is general involvement was good.
But we need to cut out the stupid mistakes otherwise we will lose on Saturday.
1. Ratch missing the kick off going dead.
2. Ratch not claiming the ball at the kick off ( but apart from these he played really well - and I thought the 'hand in the ruck that gave Saints their 1st 2 points was harsh).
3. Hughes obstructing Lomax (2 points)
4. Philbin late tackle on Richardson (penalty - could have been 2 points and on another day would have been).
5. Westwood tackle /knees incident - penalty, could easily have been a yellow
Basic stuff that'll cost us.
Wigan will be another step up as their defence is exceptionally well drilled and they have excellent structure in attack.
Our attack isn't the best (not enough from the halves).
But I seems to remember we won 23-0 not so long ago with total commitment and desire.
Overall fantastic effort and team performance. We thoroughly deserved to win.

Is that why he wasn’t picked,or was the transfer request after? Genuinely think it was a very important call not to pick him, but I was glad he didn’t!

He's far better than that cocky average so and so who plays half back

| Since we missed out on Hastings, is Fages worth a punt? Might be the partner we need for Austin - and Brown won’t get as much game time with his head injury record I’m sure...

When I say missed out, I mean missed the chance. I would have liked to see him here. I have no inside info on whether we made a move for him.
We do need a half with a decent kicking game to replace Roberts though.
