| Quote: Deus Dat Incrementum "One thing that really concerns me at the moment is the oppositions attacking kicks. We got out of jail by shear luck last week. I remember Thewlis taking a difficult one under pressure but there were lots of other kicks that could have dropped straight into a Wigan players lap.
We need to deal with them a bit better on Thursday.'"
Wigan had the field position where their kicks were far easily contested when landing, than ours were. In the preceding rounds, our pack made the yardage where we were then on the front foot challenging for the ball with a kick chase, rather than our opponents. I get your point that we just left some kicks to hit the ground against Wigan, which really should not happen.

this is very true.
also need to remember, that on the odd occasions we did get within wigans 30, we nearly scored.
regardless of the vid ref decisions, we broke wigan down and got over the line,
and thats despite it being one way traffic in the middle of the field.

My thoughts exactly. Have a feeling it'll be the same old sickening story.

Our intensity needs to be higher than last week, Wigan met our attack on the front foot while we waited for them to arrive at our line. We need to be better, we can o it as we have seen it in previous games. Fingers crossed for tonight

| Saints go in to this in worse shape than we do, the concern for us will be our go forward and whether we can play with a little more intensity in defence. Both teams have enough creative players to make the chances when in good field position.
Looking at the squads purely on paper we should win, but the way we played the game vs Wigan gives me plenty of doubt.
