Awesome defense. Take those blinkers off and give credit where it's due. |

A team with a good attack would not have had that many sets in an oppositions 30 and not come away with points... especially with their right hand side of Deacon, Tomkins and Charnley.
If Wigan performed like that against a good NRL team would have been over by half time. |

Think he's got a point, Your right it was fantastic defence, but Saints attack was dire until the last 10 mins, i bet we would of scored a few times with all that pressure.
Don't you think? |

Possibly, it could be a bit of both, however it was more awesome defense than clueless attack. Saints weren't actually that bad in attack apart from Meli who is crap at centre and also a couple of daft last tackle decisions. Wigan's defence layed the foundations. |

Behave yourself Ron.
Admittedly, there's a massive difference in our left to right side wing defence, but the team as a whole defended out of their skins yesterday.
If you can limit a team to 12 points nowadays, you're most probably going to win. |

Saint George after flying half way around the world, not having any competative games beforehand, players being half interested, still managed to beat you comfortably enough, not conceding a point second half if I remember correctly.
I am failing to see the point you're trying to make...

Agree was more Wigan's defence, I was impressed with amount of work O'loughlin did in defence, he has to be starting loose for England .
Still don't rate Pryce at 6 think he would be a better centre, Roby wasn't running like he usually does maybe because of the pace of Wigan's defence, thought Saints should of used the inside ball more though. |

They didn't have to flap their arms you know Ron.

Yet you said they'd have had us beaten by half time, when they were actually losing. They did well in the second half though, not conceding a point was a testament to their awesome defense, wasn't it? Or did you find that boring? ![]()
I completely negated your claim you imbecile, though that you'd fail to understand that is of no surprise to me. |

No Saints attack was just clueless, they have to much brawn and not enough brains, they desprately need a replacement for Sean long because Roby, Pryce, Wellens, Lomax seemed very clueless yesterday.
Its a shame because Saints have a very good pack, which even with an injured James Graham and Roby more than matched Wigans. |

No you didn't... I said If Wigan perfomed like they did against Saints, gave the opposition that much ball and repeat sets in their 30 metre zone, a good aussie team would have finished that game before half time.
Good try though, if a little embarassing.
