I don't see that we lack pace at all, in fact I think that's ridiculous. How many broken field tries have we scored this year?

Wigan and Warrington are equal squad wise for me. Proven by our win at the DW in a similar style to theirs yesterday.

I found:

1. Wigan's sliding defence is awesome
2. Solomona still has despite weight and age
3. Blythe isn't a top 4 club centre / player
4. Bridge should never ever play stand off
5. Myler is U.S without a Briers style player next to him
6. Best team won

What we all learned is that wire are not as good as their fans would have you believe, That wigan are a better side and that there are only one champions in this country and it isnt WIRE!!!

Just remind us of your recent record against us when we have managed to field a full team ? You beat us last year in the league at home simply because we lost Monaghan and Briers whilst holding a lead of around 14 pts and being well in control of the game, how would you have got on losing Tomkins and Leuluai yesterday ?

Remind us again of how injury hit saints were when you beat them in the grand final ? Remind us again how injury hit Leeds were when you beat them in the game before that.

Wigan do well against weakened sides, not so good against strong sides as per your record against saints over the years, that only changed once that team dispanded and started to get weaker plus numerous injury problems.

I've learned Wigan are going to win everything now we might aswell all go home... viewtopic.php?f=28&t=487015

Well Ive not read it but they have every right to feel cock sure at the moment. It's up to the rest of us to stop them.

Apparently we are arrogant

Wrong.

Totally agree. Wasn't it Lima that got banned for this kind of tackle on Clarkson? Don't think Coley meant to cause injury bit Wigan are coached to do this and if there is an injury so what! Not watched it back for obvious reasons but thought Mick Monas reaction to the tackle said it all. Wigan just don't fight fair, and I for one wouldn't swap a semi final appearance for playing some of the ways they do. I'm a firm believer in 'what goes around comes around' and I think our shot at the GF just got a lot better while Wigan's just went further away.

Maybe you should have a word with Finch who I seem to recall saying on SLTV that Warrington are the challenge cup CHAMPIONS. However you want to dress it up both teams have won silver wear last year and one team the year before that. I would hazard a guess that this year both teams could win the opposite competition to last year after yesterdays result, and if that happens what are you going to come out with then? Its called thinking before you speak.

We learnt that Hodgson is a bottler, a good, not great player but a bottler all the same.

And your post has reminded us all what a classless end of a bell you still are. You're an embarrassment to your club.

FACT.

I already knew Wigan were an excellent team and yesterday hardly added any additional context to that. We'll see Wigan again, certainly once and probably twice. Only the most myopic Wiganer would write Warrington off after yesterday, especially when you consider what we had to contend with.

FAIL. I've been AWOL on your board for around 2 years.

I didn't see any in the west stand, apologies if the north standers were.

I'd be interested to see who everyone thinks should play at 6 if Briers isn't available. Bridge doesn't make a lot of mistakes in the halves, but he hardly creates a lot of attacking opportunities either and moving him weakens the centres considerably. Grix was okay there earlier in the season, but with the injuries to Morley and Harrison there was no option but to play him in the forwards yesterday. Could Clarke be a better option? I just think that it's a massive shame that Gareth O'Brien is out for the season as he would be the obvious replacement and it would have been fascinating to see how he played alongside Myler as this could be the future halfback pairing at the club. The lack of a quality stand off for the rest of the season is concerning if Briers may be out for a while.

Hodgson has more about him with the ball move Bridge to FB just see if it works, it may not but would it hurt just trying? We've tried Bridge numerous times and he rarely if ever does anything of note when there.

i) Blythe is not good enough at centre & I'd rather see Rhys Evans given ago there as he stepped up to mark when called upon earlier in the year.

ii) Neither Higham or Clarke are good enough for us, we are lacking a world class hooker coming off the bench to replace Monaghan, the intensity & the speed drops instantly when Monas is replaced.

iii) We will really, really miss King.

iiii) We should have played Grix at stand-off instead of playing Bridge there, who, when he plays there is completely anonymous & we miss his footwork and his abilty out wide - this would also mean that we wouldn't need to bring Blythe in & we'd be creating a less change as possible.
